“Overdressed?” I’m so glad that today’s prompt of “dress to impress” was not this month’s self portrait! Dressing to impress is definitely not my thing. My daughter, however, is always willing to dress or perhaps overdress. Today doing her daily bread baking chore, she was moI‘mre “dressed” than I get most days – for anything. I have often said to my girls, “I don’t wear outfits; I wear clothes.” Dressing is purely functional. Bottom line: I want to be comfortable.
“Action, we wish!” We did arrive safely in England and today, our second day here, I feel like a human again. We sang the first service of our tour this evening, Evensong at Exeter Cathedral. Free wi-fi seemingly is not very popular in public places in England. Without an international data plan on my phone and iPad, my options for posting are limited. I did post, I thought, yesterday’s picture of the day from the hotel via my iPad last…
“Urban Art Texas Style” Nothing says Texas better than a big ol’ armadillo.
“Packing Shades of Blue” Sorry, I forgot to post this yesterday. Shades of blue should have been a no-brainer for me. Everything in my physical world is blue because blue makes me happy. Unfortunately, I didn’t have a whole lot of time to give to this today. We are leaving Monday for two weeks in England and so were busy getting stuff gathered and packed. As I separated my clothes into the stacks of requisite concert black and the other…
“Eat, Drink and Be Happy” I am blessed that there are so many, many things in my life that not only make me happy but bring me great joy. Most of those things I photograph often. I decided today to head toward the silly rather than the serious side of things that bring me happiness. This is not to belittle the prompt but to attempt to document all the little quirky things that make me, me. For the most part,…
“Old and New” Last night we met some friends for dinner down in the Bishop Arts district in Oak Cliff. This is a funky neighborhood that has been totally revitalized over the past several years. It has gone from a run down section of town to a lively hot spot for specialty shops and dining. For those of you not from Texas, Oak Cliff is home to the Texas Theater, famous for being the location where Lee Harvey Oswald was…
“Kruisin”” This month’s self portrait was to be a cropped photo. I’m good with that; no pictures of my face! You get my feet on my Krazy Kruiser. And when the shot is taken from behind, you can’t tell how big my feet really are! Krazy Kruisers are very cool three-wheeled scooters that are powered by shifting your weight from side to side at the hips. Since I don’t have much hip action to speak of, it took me a…
“Past and Present Meet On The Street” The juxtaposition of the old sign and new sign for this building one on top of the other made me chuckle.
“Ordinary Anniversary” Today is our anniversary. When asked how long we have been married, our typical response is “forty-six years but only three to each other.” We had a short conversation about what we wanted to do to celebrate and came to the conclusion that we are pretty happy with our ordinary days and didn’t really want or feel the need to do anything special. I gave my last final exam of the summer term this morning. Weber picked me…
“TGIF!” It’s Friday, the last day of the work week and the day of the month of May. It is also my last week off before starting summer school next week. I could have done without that realization! Oh well, it is only five weeks. It will go quickly. We had a fun evening with friends tonight – pizza, fireworks and ice cream. Good, clean, adult fun. Carrollton, the city adjacent to us is turning 100. To celebrate they…
