Less is more…

Three articles in a row on a similar theme usually means that someone is trying to tell me something.   First there was the book review of a new book entitled The Book of Marvels by Lorna Crozier. It’s a book of essays on household items – relating them to life. Something like… a bowl can […]

Where the sidewalk ends….

I have a few regrets in life and sometimes I don’t realize that I should regret something until I hear someone say, “Oh I did this or I remember that” and it wasn’t even on my radar screen.  Well it happened again this morning I was reading the “Impossible” blog and some one posted a

“Some are born great…..

…some achieve greatness and some have greatness thrust upon them.”  And I would like to add that some just live down the road from greatness and feel that their lives are elevated by mere happenstance or serendipity. This is what I posted for the heading “old” in the latest photo scavenger hunt.  It’s the side

Impossible…????

OK I have decided that I want one of these T-Shirts.  You can buy them from here – http://joelrunyon.com/two3/category/good-stories Well this is just one of his blog posts – but he does do these challenges and you can write to him and maybe he’ll send you a T-shirt, if you have done something…well, impossible.

What’s a book store….?

Funny you should ask….I was in Indigo last night – my husband needed another mystery book so we combined it with a walk and I kinda “hung out”  and waited for him to get something to read.  I had my camera so I amused myself by taking pictures of the shelves where books used to

Sunday..Sunday..

I know that the song is Monday, Monday, but yesterday – Sunday was awesome – in a spiritual sense it really was a holy day.  First there was the sun – all day and the angels in the sky….. And then there was nature at her loveliest…Swan Lake, for example…. And then there was the

Who’s on board….

I posted this picture for the photography scavenger hunt heading – community. I can’t help looking at these decals when I’m behind a car or van with some in their back window.  It’s a brilliant idea to get people to spend money!! and a little akin to the ubiquitous sign “Baby on Board,” which made

Destinations Unlimited

I do a lot of photography and a lot of knitting, so I post a lot in these groups, in addition to writing blog posts, which I do for fun or for sanity or to remind myself that there is a lot in this world that doesn’t make sense and that’s OK as long as

Culture Wars

This is what I posted for “Culture” in the August photography challenge.  I am fascinated by grocery carts and cupboards.  Fortunately my husband does the food shopping or I would have been in jail  long ago for voyeurism. That being said, I would never open another person’s cupboard or medicine cabinet without permission.  I was

Who is watching…?

Another catch 22 today – actually it started yesterday.  Our wall phone and land line stopped working two nights ago. We suspect that it may have been the cat who ate through the electric cord that powers the phone.  Years ago I opted for a plug in rather than a battery powered one because I
