Juxtaposition is a difficult word to understand when you initially look at it, but it does have a simple meaning. It just means a comparison in a photograph. For this week, I wanted to share a picture I took with my manual Minolta (back in the day when it worked). This is Adventure Boy’s little dimpled hand when he was a toddler being lovingly held by his grandmother. The comparison is a simple one of a young life just starting off as it is being guided by a much older hand of experience. My mom loved this picture and kept it in her bedroom.
**Blogger’s Note: Huge thanks to Drew at Drew’s Movie Reviews who was incredibly kind to show me a site that helps convert files into any file format you want. I had to convert this pdf photo into a gif file format. You can find it here if you ever need any help with file or format converting. It’s fast and easy!

I’ve always had a little trouble with that word. I love it, but have a hard time remembering what it means. I’m so glad that you have a picture of AB with his grandmother.

Just like your blog is such a contrast from mine. Yours is sweet and mine is bitter.

Yeah, I know. I have to run over to your blog and sprinkle major fairy dust on your page. Make it all sparkly and glittery with my sweetness. 😛

For some reason, some of my comments or replies showed up on my email. That’s never happened before. Usually when someone comments on my blog, I get notified, but I have never been notified of my own comments. Weird. Yeah. I’ll get the rainbow glitter out for ya.

That happened to me too. What is going on with WordPress? Perhaps they haven’t learned about overshare.
