    T Tuesday: photo op edition

    October 16, 2017 - By 

    The weeks are flying by…sort of…they are long in the fact that I’m not getting my creative time in anymore. But also short…as in I haven’t gotten everything marked off my to-do list…not even once.

    I am having fun with the photo challenge I picked though.

    Here are my photos from the first 9 days….

    Since #8 also is my usual beverage it’s counting as my obligatory photo for T stands for Tuesday as well.

    This past weekend was homecoming at school. Mini-me was in the parade then went to the football game on Friday. The dance was Saturday. A group a 7 girls went and had a blast.

    Sunday had us doing yard work and helping J apply for college. Wow…can hardly believe it!

    Monday night was the Fall choir concert and this time we saw both of our kids performing. What a treat.

    Thanks for sticking with me through my meager and sporadic posting.

    T Tuesday: photo challenge edition

    October 2, 2017 - By 

    Aside from the daily Instagram posts I plan to do a recap of the photos periodically here as well.Welcome to T stands for Tuesday! Won’t you join me for a cuppa and a brief chat…

    Since time is still fleeting for me I’m going to try something new this month. A daily photo challenge. I know at this point I’m already behind but that’s ok…I’ll catch up. I figure I should have time to snap a quick photo with my phone and upload it to my Instagram.

    Now to decide which one I want to play along with….  I’ve narrowed it down to 3 choices, sticking with current challenges.

    Regardless of which challenge I chose, I plan to do a recap of the photos periodically here as well as the daily Instagram posts. It should be a fun challenge keeping up with things and thinking outside the box at times especially with limited time.

    T Tuesday: end of gardening season edition

    September 25, 2017 - By 

    Over the weekend we had the last of the super hot and humid days. People who aren’t from Minnesota think that we couldn’t possibly have tropical dew points like our far southern states…well they are wrong. I’m assuming its due to all the lakes..the sheer amount of water around. I could be totally wrong but that’s my theory and I’m sticking to it.

    As some cloud cover rolled in I decided it was time to pull up the garden or perhaps I should say what was left of it after the critters had chewed their way through it. I didn’t bother taking any after photos as it’s pretty much just dirt and some fallen leaves now.

    Over the weekend while enjoying the comfort of the air conditioning we watched or I should say re-watched a couple movies. Some laid back family time was definitely in order.

    I actually did a bit of sewing over the weekend too but was totally unhappy with the results. I wanted to make a little pouch to hold my hand-sanitizer that would attach to my lanyard. I’ve already gotten one cold from all the germs. Anyway…I didn’t love my result so Mini-me found a store bought one in her room for me to use. Perfect.

    Slowly I am finding time for more things in life. I think I just had to get over my old way of thinking and re-prioritize.

    I’ve been thinking about trying some new things with my blog…stay tuned!
