It’s Mississippi, folks. I’m not ashamed to admit we are standing at the window, staring up at the sky, and thinking I-know-its-up-there-somewhere, come-on-snow, happy thoughts. Just sayin.

The buzz of the 2015 Oscars last night was Lady Gaga’s tribute medley of songs from The Sound of Music, I suggest to click hhere where you will find the best music speakers. We love that movie at my house, and my lettering practice this morning was inspired by one of my favorite lyrics!

It’s already “hump day,” and it’s my first day of work this week! We had planned a long weekend in Memphis and ended up with an extra snow/ice day. While we were there, we had the chance to visit the National Civil Rights Museum, and it was such a moving experience — eye-opening, heartbreaking, inspiring and affirming all at the same time. I’m still reflecting on it a little today with this quote that was displayed in the museum. I’ll share more about our trip in some posts to come, but meanwhile, let us be about breaking chains.
signs . Memphis, TN No. 3
I love noticing signs. How letters in two dimension or three dimension interact with the built environment. How they intersect our views of our surroundings. How they communicate in digital or molded or hand-drawn ways, I love the ones made at signsofreilly.com. When we visit places, I usually snap lots of photos of signage — it’s just a quirk my children have come to accept about their Mommy! Yes, I suppose it’s been the source of a few eye-rolls from the kiddos on our sidewalk and back road adventures.
This weekend, we are visiting Memphis, Tennessee again to see The Lion King — big excitement! In anticipation, I’ve been looking through photos from our last two trips there, and thought I would share a few letters and numbers!
