Rupert's Journey

  While I was watching the grammy awards on TV I made Rupert some clothes for his journey.

I thought the bow tie idea from your comments was a good one obviously.  He does look a bit like an artist in this outfit don't you think?  It takes a secure happy man to wear a bow tie convincingly. 

Here he is adorned in his full wardrobe.

I cut your comments out and taped them to some colored paper to put in the box with Rupert.  I think my friend will be delighted that people from so far away have this connection to her.  I also added your location.

If any of you read The Piano Lesson from a much earlier post you might find it interesting to know that Stacy lived on the same street a couple of doors down from the piano teacher and she knows all the "fictional" characters in the story.  She even knows the unseen visitor  that the black maid helped out the back door.   (Yes, I'm old enough to remember the time when some people had black maids ~ for you folks abroad this wasn't necessarily a bad thing at the time because there really were very few jobs, if any, for black women)

I continue to believe that it is these little things in life that we do are the most important.  Without fanfare but from our hearts we reach out and touch others to make this world a better place.

I challenge you all to practice a random act of kindness this week!  I would love to hear about it.  I'm sure others would too.
