is the theme of Gothic Arches this week. I struggled a bit with this one as I couldn't find any decent images in my stash til I ran across this one. That and it was DH's B'day on Sunday and I had a meeting for work that day is why I'm a bit late for this one.
When I was a kid, my parents divorced and my mom remarried, taking me with her when she did. I had a very hard time with this and to escape the reality that was my life I spent more time with Barbie and the house I made her out of a cardboard box than I did with other people until I was befriended by the family next door. The scene in the image shows the place where I wish I could have been. I think she looks happy in her secret spot (that her parents set up!) playing with her favourite doll.

What a wonderful arch! I think everyone needs a private garden spot to enjoy solitude and think deep thoughts. I've never had one, but am still hoping....it's never too late....Your arch and your story remind me how much I long for that private garden paradise.
Mary-beth, this is gorgeous.
