“How very special are we for just a moment to be part of life’s eternal rhyme. How very special are we to have on our family tree Mother Earth and Father Time. He turns the seasons around and so she changes her gown but they always look in their prime. They go on dancing their dance of everlasting romance, Mother Earth and Father Time. The summer larks return to sing, oh, what a gift they give. Then autumn days grow short and cold, oh, what a joy to live. How very special are we for just a moment to be part of life’s eternal rhyme. How very special are we to have on our family tree Mother Earth and Father Time.” -Charlotte’s Web

“Jazz on a Sunday Afternoon”
Since I was attending Michael’s exhibit, it was the perfect opportunity to have brunch with my friends John Carter, William Hudson and Tony Randall at their restaurant Phaze 10 on Howard Street. The Sunday jazz brunch menu had so many choices I finally decided on the mouthwatering steak egg and potato dish and a refreshing glass of champagne. WEAA’s Ernestine Jones was hosting the jazz Brunch.
