Gray and Maroon [reunion photos]

By Barbara Groark


By strange coincidence, the only flowers left in my garden that the rabbits haven’t bitten down and that aren’t just done this time of year are the dusty miller (gray) and the red coleus plants (maroon). Interesting. Weird.


One piece of sad news from the reunion is that Mary Callahan of Moorestown has died. I have added her name to the “Moment of Silence” article.


I’m trying Picasa for the pictures. When you hit the link, you may be asked to sign in and make up a password, but there is no cost (more Google free stuff) and you may just get an email once in a while. You also may be asked to download the Picasa photo reader so your computer can read the pictures. So say “yes” to that, or “download now,” however you find it on your machine.


I’m sorry I did not get a photo or two at the Amendolas Sunday afternoon. Our numbers were few, and we were all too amazed at our house tour to be analytical enough to take pictures – is that the explanation? In any case, this was an area of neglect on my part. Carol and Tom were gracious hosts, and Tom has amazing collections of antique cars, radio and television sets, and other 20th century technology memorabilia on display – and is working on a really large train set, or system, in his spare time. Carol has a work area/sewing room in her basement where even more products of her fertile imagination eventually make their way upstairs. Everything is new, beautiful, and welcoming, even where it is unfinished. And Carol is blonde now, in case you run into her around town.


Here are three links to the still pics; many thanks to Dan Turygan, Marlene Altamuro Handschuh, and Mary Pippitt Cervantes for passing their photos over to round out my own:


Once at the album page, click once on the first picture, then use the Forward and Back arrow buttons, or you might click the Slideshow button on the album page (ESC button to return).
