An exerpt from "Grandma's Hands".......
"Have you ever looked at your hands," she asked. "I mean really
looked at your hands?"
"Stop and think for a moment about the hands you have, how they have
served you well throughout your years. These hands, though wrinkled
shriveled and weak have been the tools I have used all my life to
reach out and grab and embrace life."
"They have covered my face, combed my hair, and washed and cleansed the
rest of my body. They have been sticky and wet, bent and broken, dried
and raw. And to this day when not much of anything else of me works
real well these hands hold me up, lay me down, and again continue to
fold in prayer"............... ~~~Author Unknown
"Two little feet, ten little toes,
Leave their impression today.
Soon they will wear two little shoes,
And be running and jumping at play".

Very beautiful words and such sweet photos this morning. Thinking of you today and wishing you God's blessings.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful post.
ReplyDeleteLovely post, Reggie. I especially loved the little baby feet in their precious little shoes.
ReplyDeleteLove to you.xx♥
Yep, a very "touching" blog. Even Bagman, who is kind of a hell found that this one had soul. I'm trying to put my finger on more puns but need to knuckle down and go to work.
ReplyDeleteAwww Reggie, I loved this post, however, I will have that darn Beetles song playing through my head all day. Have a good day!
ReplyDeleteI sometimes look at my hands and feet and wonder when they became old :-)
ReplyDeleteReally lovely words and pictures.
I will be able to participate in this Friday's Shoot-out.
Beautiful words and photos for a good cause! I hope I can join you this Friday. I already have a post in mind for Friday Shoot-Out. Have a great day, Reggie :)
ReplyDeleteOutstanding Post!
ReplyDeleteYou are blessed with an amazing heart!

Beautiful post and love the photo's, yes I look at my hands often and praise God that I have them.
ReplyDeleteHave a beautiful day!
Regie Girl is not allowed to go artsy on me when it is a well known fact that people in certain parts of Newnam, Ga. get 26 hours in a day instead of 24.
ReplyDeleteSuper shots, my friend.
I've always loved that poem. One of the first things I see when I meet someone is their hands...they tell a whole life story on their own!
ReplyDeleteWonderful post RG! People take their hands for granted. I see my Cdub struggle everyday with only one. He never ceases to amase me! I love these black and white shots!
ReplyDeletea really heart-touching post today, just wonderful. I have to ask time and again, how do you come up with these fab ideas!! I love that sweet picture of the baby feet in their precious shoes. Brings back such good memories of my own kids. As for the hands, I always loved my mom's hands, cuz I would remember all the times that her hands played with my hair or put the hair in a pony tail for school, the times they held me, or wiped away my tears! Hands are wonderful!! I love to look at people's hands all the time, and wonder what stories they might have to tell. Good post, Reggie. Debby
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet post! I love the pictures. ARe they of you and people in your life? Hope you're having a great day Reggie!
ReplyDeleteLovely worda and photo's and so true!
ReplyDeleteYou will have an award awaiting at my blog this morning as soon as I finish writing the post! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the little feet. My oldest grandson once told me that he could tell I was getting old, because my hands looked old..... but he assured me that he was going to take care of me when he got big. He is almost 19 now, wonder if he remembers that..........
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing sweeter than baby toes. "Corn niblet toes" is what I call them. :-)
ReplyDeleteI thought of you when I found this. The manufacturer of Just Born Milk Replacer has pallets of milk replacers to give away for free (includes shipping) to anyone that wants it. Here's the link with the contact info: http://www.examiner.com/examiner/x-2918-Houston-Animal-News-Examiner~y2009m5d7-Manufacturer-giving-away-milkreplacers-to-rescues-and-shelters
ReplyDeleteI really hope you can use it at the Daily Puppy.
Very nice post. It's amazing of the everyday things we don't think about until somebody like you reminds us to.
ReplyDeleteI don't know why but I just love photographs of hands and feet. They just scream life to me. I guess I'm not alone.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post ! I just love little baby feet !
ReplyDeleteHa a song popped in my mind by Jewel- "My hands are small..." but then I got to the Beatles song, so now they are both playing at record speeds! I love this...I actually tried to get photos of people and was talking about your site to a friend...lovely...
ReplyDelete*happy sigh*
ReplyDeletegreat post! I love hands. I think they tell a story. When I meet a man, I always check out his hands.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely loved this post. Just beautiful all the hands and feet.
ReplyDeleteAre you getting just so excited to be a grandmother??
ReplyDeleteThis was just so precious.
Awh, beautiful post. Love all the b&w photos, esp the baby feet!!
ReplyDeleteAnd I want to take this opportunity to thank you for all your comments on my blog -- you are the most dear person and your comments make my heart smile. :)
Oh, and I clicked on the puppy. :-D
Lovely words and pictures. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a marvellous post. And the last quote is ever so beautiful. And the collage is sublime. Many thanks.
ReplyDeleteGreetings from London.
Great post and the shots are fantastic! Loved it. :-)
ReplyDeletewhat amazing black and white shots...yes i am also very partial to looking at hands.
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful and very touching, Reggie Girl! Brilliant! Did you ever listen to Bill Withers' song Grandma's Hands - Very poignant too - I can remember my nana's hands very well - I loved her dearly, and her oh-so hard-working hands... xox
