Lizzy Tex Borden's

The assignment was to take a picture of something that

you have had since you were very young. I chose this

little (what I have always thought of) as a monkey. When

I was about ten years old my mom and I were staying at

my aunt's house in New Jersey. They had gone out for the

day leaving me at home to watch old "Bowery Boys"
movies on TV all afternoon (still love those guys).

They had gone thrifting, flea marketing, garage sale-ing, etc.

My mom bought this little figure for me that day and I have
had it ever since. I'm not sure what it is made of. I always
thought it was soapstone, but it actually seems more
durable than that.

Anyway, that's what I chose for the assignment.



And just to balance things out, here is
a hamburger and fries from Tommy's.
