Brother Vincent fell apart, but the others remained stoic. “Unto dust thou shalt return.” They'd never guessed it meant collecting dust.

    You've just reminded me that there are a few things decomposing on my bric-a-brac shelves. I should quit computing and get the dust rag -- later. ;)

    Excellent take on the pic!

    Superb MM, Grandma. Love the "dust to dust" phrase--if dust is holy, my whole house must be a shrine.

    Have a great week.

    I guess there is more than one way to returning back to Dust. Wonderful MfM Grandma.

    They WERE pretty dusty -- they had a good scrubbing before going into the box, but for their feelings maybe I should have done it before the photo! LOL Oh poor Br. Vincent!
    :-D

    I really liked yours! Isn't it amazing how many different stories can be dreamed up, by looking at a photo?? I'm new at this, and really enjoying it!
