This is one of my favorite fabric pictures, which I posted when I first started my blog.
It depicts my dad, my mom and me, watching one of their favorite
game shows in the playroom of the home in which they lived for more than 50 years.
I had come to visit from New York, where I then lived with my family,
and, after supper we would go downstairs to watch
"Wheel of Fortune" and "The Match Game".
My dad, in his black recliner, always had his finger poised over the 'mute' button on
the remote control (because he hated listening to the commercials)
and wore his headphones to be better able to hear the sound of the program.
It was just one of those familiar, unremarkable rituals
which we shared.
My parents are gone now, but I love having
this sweet little memory in the form of a picture.
It always makes me smile.

Lovely work made with love.
So nice you´ve had the idea and were able to depict a family scene which was routine. We tend not to value routine until it changes. You were smarter than that! Tks for sharing.
this is great. i grew up with my mom watching wheel of fortune and match game (her favorite of all.)
Hi Judy, that is truly a treasure...you captured that special time perfectly! I can relate to it, too! Beautiful!
PS. I love your new banner!
Judy I LOVE this!!!! That is exactly how I remember the basement. I really really loved hanging out in their basement when I was little, and this brings me right back there.
