Photo Friday, No. 954

Current Photo Friday theme: Stoplight.

At least one set of those traffic lights must be red, but I draw your attention to the guitar between them. From my vantage point in August of 2018, it’s hard to believe that replica of Texas musician Stevie Ray Vaughan’s red and white 1964 Customized Gibson Firebird guitar is 35 feet tall.

The replica was on top of Hard Rock’s Houston location that closed in 2020. I haven’t been to that part of downtown in the last five years and don’t know whether the guitar remains on the building.

A great few days


My brother David has been here since last week, and his visit has been so enjoyable. Pictured here are David and Lisa, Aaron’s parents, next to Aaron’s memory garden.

If you’ve visited this site over the last week or so, you may have read entries that were “letters” to people related to the past. Writing them felt very liberating, and once accomplished, I made those posts private. I’ve replaced the missing posts from those dates mostly with photos.

For those of you who read along and commented, I can still see the private posts and our comments, and I appreciate your thoughts.

Sunday Sundries

Today, Tom, David, Debby and I went to Nineteenth Street in the Heights for a little browsing and shopping. Here are some of the random shots I took.


This was the most popular good citizen strolling down the sidewalk. Everyone kept asking to meet and pet him, and he enjoyed it all. I never got his name!


Pulled Scrabble® tiles from this basket to celebrate being with family.


Houndstooth fashion!

He’s here!


We finally had birthday cake because my brother David is here, and Tim could join us last night for the celebration. I wasn’t in charge of the camera or you’d see everyone else instead of me plus endure a photo of the night’s menu: fish, hushpuppies, crab cakes, and coleslaw. Very Southern.

Little surprises

Today’s my birthday, and our current plan is to celebrate it in a couple of days when David (my brother) will be visiting. We’re really looking forward to seeing him!

A friend is moving to Europe, and Timothy’s happily brought a lot of her plants in pots to the Hall. She will be so missed, but it’s exciting that she and her family (including her, her husband, and their dogs!) are embarking on this new adventure.
