I've done something silly. Well, two things really. To be honest, I've done a lot more than two, but today I'm only going to admit to two things. Both concern cabinet cards (old studio-posed photos on heavy card stock) that I've framed and that keep me company here in my office. I laugh myself silly every time I look at them. The reason I laugh myself silly is because I've added captions to each one, typed and attached to the front of the glass below the photos.
The first:
The caption for a photo of a perfectly respectable older lady in a high collared dress, gray hair pulled back wearing glasses and the loveliest hint of a smile.
"Her smile conveyed the accumulation of decades of happiness, months of family holidays, two weeks of a very well-spent honeymoon, a certain weekend in Chicago and a recipe for rum cake."
The second:
The caption for a photo of five women in Victorian dress grouped together as one appears to read to the others from a letter. When I saw this photo I had my idea of what the letter might read.
"Congratulations! We're very happy to accept for publication your chilling tale of revenge ad murder, Gruesome Tidings at Asylum Lake."
Ta and da.

It should read "a chilling tale of revenge and murder". I told you silly reigns today.
It's good to have you back silly one.
It's good to be back!
