SEPIA SATURDAY
Every Saturday we craft our posts from our imaginations and a theme photo which Alan posts on his (all things sepia and old) Sepia Saturday blog. This week he has taken Liz Stratton from "Attics and old lace" blog idea of couples sharing time together and/or going out.

I begin with Couples and Going Out but end in a rather sacred life nourishment.
May I have this dance?

There are times in a person's life when they just know they'd go to the ends of the earth just to be together.

from looking at you.
and end when
you are away from me.
Doesn't he seem to be asking, "Will you take my hand, please." Or perhaps she's just offering him a cookie. You tell me, what do you think?

What about the times you just can't swing going out?
A little short for going out this weekend, so this lovely couple from Pie Town, New Mexico are spending the evening inside the living room of their new adobe house. They originally arrived from Oklahoma seven years before this, and lived in a cabin until this adobe house was finished.

I'm ending with a Couple sharing their family traditions right from their beloved surroundings.
POI- a sacred. life giving food- sustaining living beneficial organisms into a higher form of energy-
nourishing the human body, heart and soul.
This couple is making poi which was considered an important and sacred art of Hawaiian life. When they put this on the family table, they believed that the spirit of Haloa, (Hawaiian ancestor) was present.
