We Are One People....the series...

I am trying to interview people....tell their stories...or pieces of their Stories...Because too many People are Invisible right now....Now if just one would let me take their photo that would make this series so much better.....So last night I was walking to watch the Movie Filming near by....and I met a really interesting soul....The kind that has Stories....

He was sitting on the back of a Truck,leaning companionably....faded overalls and eyes the color of sunwashed denim....face weathered like a long trekked hiker.....So I said Hey..and we started talking....I asked him about working on the Film...He does Set Design....( So see the photo....It really is July by Lake Erie....but the film is set for Halloween Night, don't you love the Old Polished Cars and the Leaves scattered by the Lamp...that's his Work...)

He's been doing this Work since 1978......He loves it....you can even tell that the way he gently leans against His Truck....and when you look in back everything is arranged with order...tools and art supplies...There's order...there's love....

So I say....What was your First Movie ?

His eyes light up....."Ahhhhh 1978 "Harvest Home " ......Betty Davis."

I nod impressed...."Wow...I bet she was Something...."

"They don't make them like that anymore...I wish they did"....
*Many thanks to Terry for talking with me ....*

That's right Ladies...may we aspire to be more Like Betty Davis....30 years later she still can make a man Misty eyed with admiration......

We Are One People....

"During my second year of nursing school our professor gave us a quiz. I breezed through the questions until I read the last one: "What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?" Surely this was a joke. I had seen the cleaning woman several times, but how would I know her name? I handed in my paper, leaving the last question blank. Before the class ended, one student asked if the last question would count toward our grade. "Absolutely," the professor said. "In your careers, you will meet many people. All are significant. They deserve your attention and care, even if all you do is smile and say hello." I've never forgotten that lesson. I also learned her name was Dorothy. "~Joann C. Jones

While my computer was being repaired I had a lot of time to ponder why Our Country is so broken. I really think the Elected folks in DC have forgotten WHO we are, they have lost Sight of Who we are as a people, that We The People are not greedy or wanting much in Life.......So once a week I will try to find people to interview and post their quotes. At the grocery Store I met this wonderful woman , she is a cleaning woman for the Library. I asked her what is the one thing that makes her happy, makes her smile. " My Tomato Plant, because it keeps growing despite Storms and Troubles and in a funny way it needs me. And when I least expect it, there will be a gift , the precious Tomato.Life really is about the Little Things.... " She winked and turned away....
