A Matter of Time

"A Matter of Time"

I was told that my grandfather was a candy maker and perhaps that was so when he arrived from Greece to the U.S.

However, at the time his image was captured, he was working on a railroad. His foot was injured so severely that it tore open his shoe. He eventually died from the injury.

We never met... until now.

I seem to have won an award for this...(I am wow'd!)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is such a lovely place to wait where time waits too sometimes by the hand of others.
A place to pause, to rest, to meet and remember... to wish.
I'm not certain if their timely arrival was merely by chance or by design. There is a hint of both while we watch the four in stillness.

"Between 7 & 8"

I think I was somewhere between 7 and 8 and wanting to stay there for just awhile longer.
(you can do that here, you know...the crow is ever-obliging, a timely hand is always extended)
