“Living By Bread Alone” Without a doubt, I know that I can survive on bread alone. I love it. I might even be addicted to it. It doesn’t matter what kind of bread. I love everything from basic white bread to seed breads to cinnamon raisin bread. And when it’s homemade, I don’t even need any kind of spread on it, though homemade butter or peanut butter just makes the eating experience that much better! Since Brooke has been home,…
“Object Lesson” Pastoral is not a word that describes life in the suburbs. With no time to head out in search of “pastoral” I amended the prompt and decided that I might be more successful if I looked for serene as we walked around our neighborhood. I suspect that you are looking at this picture thinking that it is neither pastoral or serene. In fact, it isn’t even a good picture. All of those things would be true. So why…
“Uncontained Passion” Today’s prompt was intended to be a splash at the beach or pool, a picture of summer water fun. That wasn’t happening around here. We did, however, have a brief afternoon downpour. I grabbed a clear bowl and set it out to collect the rain. I managed a few splashes as the bowl filled. And yes, I’m obviously still on my quote kick.
“Lookin’ Macho” Here are the two most important guys in my life giving me their best macho looks. I’m not so sure about macho, but they sure are sweet!
‘Close Your Eyes, Mom!” I am definitely not skilled at applying make-up, especially the overdone make-up that is necessary when one is on stage under bright stage lights. I had to enlist the girls as both consultants as to what to do and then have the do the application as well. It took both of them working their magic to get it done. Today’s prompt’s title is a little misleading. Though it only says from the side, the additional instructions…
“Tower of Solar Power” Happy Flag Day, everyone. As you can see, this is not a picture of stars and stripes. Despite the fact that I had a dress rehearsal tonight for a concert that consists entirely of patriotic music, I failed to get a photo containing stars and stripes. This is a photo of Museum Tower taken from inside the Dallas City Performance Hall in the arts district of downtown Dallas. This tower is at the center of…
“Reach for the Stars” North Texas is not exactly known for its sandy beaches. And, today started with a 5:45 am call for Resounding Harmony as we were lucky to have a spot to sing on a local morning TV show to help promote our concert this weekend. Then I had to teach and then go to the dermatologist. With the way today played out, there was no time or energy to go hunting for sand. This little cactus pictured…
“Oh to Have the Life of the Cat” The cat is the only one around here right now who seems to have time to relax. Between summer school and several concerts in the next two weeks, I barely have time to check my calendar to figure out where I am supposed to be next let alone to have even a minute to relax. This spot on the back of the arm chair in our bedroom is the cat’s favorite spot….
“Hands” For whatever reason, I had a hard time with today’s photo. You would think that photographing “two” would be a simple task; our lives are filled with things that come in twos. I just was not thrilled with anything that crossed my mind. When I thought about photographing two pennies as my two cents worth, I realized that I had better just be happy with something before sarcasm completely took over. I resorted to quotes for a little…
“Birthday Boy and His Book” Though today was Weber’s birthday, there wasn’t much celebrating around here. He is not much of a party guy. Brooke made a small cake – orange spice with fig jam between the layers and we went out to our favorite Italian dive restaurant for dinner. The birthday gifts were equally as low key. I did find a copy of The Gospel According to Peanuts, a book that he had had previously that went missing.
