"if i had my life to live over, i would start barefoot earlier in the spring and stay that way later in the fall. i would go to more dances. i would ride more merry-go-rounds. i would pick more daisies"

  2. One of the philosophies I live by --except for the dances--I will ride a merry-go-round at any opportunity, especially the animals that go up and down! If you ever get to Bristol, CT, look up the New England Carousel Museum. It's a wonderful place to wander and photograph, full of original carousel pieces from the golden age to now!
