Ob la di, Ob la da

Aaaah...this brings back memories of the Beatles! 

 Because of recent events in our lives as a family, I especially like this line: DesDesmond take a trolley to the jewelers store 

Desmond takes a trolley to the jewelry store...

Buys a twenty carat golden ring... 

Takes it back to Molly waiting at the door...

And as he gives it to her she begins to sing... 

Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah!...

Lala how the life goes on...

Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah!...

Lala how the life goes on.

Chanel & C.S. Lewis

My son and daughter were recently at the Wade Center which houses artifacts from 7 British Christian writers --- including C.S. Lewis.  Here is Jill modelling my Patent-leather Chanel GST  in front of the wardrobe that Lewis' grandfather made. It supposedly was Lewis' inspiration to write The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe
