Day Two Hundred Nineteen 2013

Lesson for the day: Never park your car beside a road that floods in a heavy downpour. That little red car is mine. I went to climb in after Neil and I had finished our subs and had waited out the heavy rain, never thinking that the car coming toward me on that street was going to drive through that flood and send a giant wave of water into me. If I hadn’t had my umbrella over me, I would have been drenched from head to toe.  I still got soaked from chest to Crocs. And was about to get soaked again, but the next car in line took pity on me and slowed down enough so that the wave wasn’t a tsunami. It's funny because we were sitting in a window booth, watching this road start to flood when I took this random picture, and I was thinking that anybody standing out there on the sidewalk would get drowned by the wave from a passing car. Well, duh! [Where's a surf board when you need one?]

Random TGIF

Hope your TGIF is fabulous.
P.S.  Happy 17th Birthday, sweet niece peep, Sarah!

Day One Hundred Four 2012

Friday night life in my small town usually means people are looking for some place to eat. I just noticed I caught the time on the dashboard clock at 7:22. The days are certainly getting longer. Happy TGIF!

Day Eighty Three 2012

The sun sets on a beautiful spring day. The sky here is always crisscrossed with electrical wires no matter where you go—evil necessity but a pain when you’re trying to take a picture of something awesome. Happy TGIF!

Day Fifty Six 2012

Sunny, windy Saturday. The wind had a bite to it again today. Mother Nature seems to believe it's March already. Hubby Neil and I let the wind blow us once around the block. We did manage to make it back to the house, even though the sign said 'stop'. Hope you are having a groovy weekend!

"Why, what's the matter,
That you have such a February face,
So full of frost, of storm and cloudiness?"

Day Three Hundred Twenty Seven 2011

My Street~So thankful to have a place to call home

Thank you, dear God,
for all you have
Given Me
for all you have
Taken Away From Me
for all you have
Left Me.

Day Three Hundred Eleven 2011

 
Busy November Monday. My sister Ann and I took our 90 year old mom to the dentist (she’s in for some oral surgery in her near future), then off to Ocha (our favorite Thai deli) with hubby Neil, sister Ann, and daughters Kelly and Holly for a yummy rice and spicy chicken lunch, then off to Starbucks with Kelly around two for a salted caramel mocha (decaf!) and then home to continue laundry day and greet the grand peeps and niece peep as they came in after school. Kelly headed back home around four as did daughter Holly and grand peeps. House too quiet, all of a sudden. Finally made my wall calendar for November and continued with the laundry until hubby Neil came in from work around five thirty (dark already—he hates that), and off to Subway for a low cal supper and back home again to put laundry away and sit down here with this computer on my lap and realize this is the only picture I managed to take today (other than one of Kelly’s Starbuck’s tumbler full of iced mocha). This picture kind of captures the beautiful, perfect temperature, blue sky, puffy cloud, November day that it was. I thought I’d fill in the blanks of all the stuff the picture didn’t capture, in case you were wondering.
