a few things I carry around with me

 I'm always curious to find out the everyday things people carry to get them through the day. I'll share a few of mine tomorrow. 

little things

No picture to post today . . . I just came across this little video by Chris of JAC Photography and wanted to share it with you. Reminded me of this statement from one of my favorite authors: "It has long been an axiom of mine that the little things are infinitely the most important"

-Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, (Sherlock Holmes) A Case of Identity, 1892

winter

Ask anyone who knows me well and they will tell you I'm not a winter person. I prefer spring and fall but, I must admit, some days it sure is beautiful.

A favorite of mine in the Smithsonian American Art Museum by Bessie Potter Vonnoh.

3307 N Street NW

The Kennedy's lived in this home with their children, Caroline and John Jr., when JFK began his presidential campaign. They lived here from 1958-61.

3321 Dent Place, "The Red House"

This is the first house John F. and Jackie Kennedy lived in as newlyweds in 1953-54. It was known as "the red house". Check out this site for more history and images of the Kennedy's time here. The book Camelot at Dawn is a collection of photographs taken by Orlando Suero documenting some of the couples activities around this house and at work. Walking tour maps of the Kennedy's homes and more information is available at the Georgetown Visitors Center located at 3242 M Street, NW.
