“Sunday Soak” This photo is one of wishful thinking . . .if I had had time to relax, this is what I would have done. Time soaking in the hot tub is good for both my body and my spirit. Today was a full day of church and singing, regular Sunday services this morning and then a beautiful Choral Evensong this evening followed by dinner with a dear friend. Though it was not particularly relaxing, it was a good day….
“September Saturday Selfie” The second Saturday of the month, self portrait day. I had a busy day that began with a rehearsal this morning and ended with a concert this evening at school. I wasn’t sure how I was going to get a selfie done. These usually stress me out anyway; add to that a full day and it becomes a bad mix. But, I knew I needed to do it. I went outside this afternoon to check the…
“The 13th Table” Many of the people who are part of the Capture Your 365 community are avid and very talented scrapbookers. Yesterday many people posted scrapbook type collages as a documentation of the details of their day. It was cool to see an entire day in snapshots. Because I worked from home today, I decided that I would give the collage thing a try. I had tons of work to gone done today and most of that was going…
“Real Life” It doesn’t get much more real than this during the evenings at our house. Sad, but true. Since we both usually have work to do at night, it is nice that we share a home office. If we didn’t, we’d never see each other!
‘Scheduled Maintenance” Wednesdays are over-scheduled even without a visit to the dentist!
“The Evidence” So, the girls have started a business of a weekly bread baking and delivery service. I am proud of their entrepreneurial spirit. Weber and I have become investors in this new venture – it is all taking place in our kitchen. Therefore, we are “underwriting” their “rent” and utilities. Last week was their first week to deliver bread. Though they are still fine tuning the workflow, it was a relatively successful opening week. This week’s photo prompts are…
‘Routine Breakfast” This week is all about photographing the details of daily life – both the ordinary and the extraordinary. The above shows how we begin almost every day – well, how we begin after we smack the snooze on the alarm a few times, stand in the shower in an effort to become coherent, get dressed wearing clothes that hopefully match and finally stagger out to the kitchen for that first cup of coffee. The coffee is accompanied by vanilla…
“Water Ride” We are having a great weekend in Portland. I am way too tired to write, but I’ll catch up when we get home.
“Simple Comforts of Home” Today was a day of travel – planes, trains, and automobiles – and a few blocks on foot. We made our way home from Portland to Dallas via a brief layover in Phoenix. Though we had no snafus in our travel plans, it was still and long day and tonight will be a very short night. After being gone, even for just two nights, it is nice to come home to the simple comforts . ….
“Left on the Street” We are in Portland this weekend for a NOAH gathering. I am traveling light. Translation: I forgot my card reader for my iPad so posting from here is a little tricky; but, where there is a will, there is a way. I didn’t take many pictures today because much of the day was spent in airports and on planes. Tomorrow we are doing the tourist stuff here in Portland so I’m hoping for a good photography…
