Photos on Bathroom wall

The coffee shop in Eastland has some really awesome wall decor.  These photos are clustered on one of the walls in the ladies bathroom.  

I love the different frames and it's always fun to look at retro photos.

Photos

When I was still living in upstate NY, some friends and I would take a fieldtrip once a week to a town.  We each had a list of photos to take. Once we got there, we would separate for about an hour to get the photos on the list, then meet up for lunch and discussion about the images we got.  

It was a lot of fun seeing what we each got for the same prompt.

Before I moved there was going to be an art show, so I framed some of my images and left them with one of my friends.  She was kind enough to keep them all these years and when I saw her recently she showed me the pics.  There were originally 9 of them, but I only wanted 6.

Here they are.  They're on the wall in my dining area.  Three are from upstate NY and three are from where I live now.  

When/if I move, I'll have a lot of careful packing to do.

Tall, skinny bookcase

My parents had this bookcase in their place before they both passed.  I always loved it so, in spite of the sadness of them being gone, I was happy to get it.  

I have way to many books right now because I belong to a bookgroup that meets once a month and many of the books were obtained through used book sites and they only cost a few dollars.  I don't purchase every book we read, just the ones I think I'll want to keep.  Sadly, I keep too many of them, but I love to read and I often read a favorite book several times.  

I need to STOP buying books.  There is, after all, a library in town.  We'll see how that goes.

Decor in a Coffee Shop

My fave coffee shop has a wall that separates one seating section from another and on the back side of the wall are these 4 portraits.  

No names, but the photos are retro and are so sweet to look at.  Young people today will never know the joy of looking back at old photos of their family and friends.

Very sad.

Portraits of members of the WWII WASPs.

These are just a few portraits of the women who were WASPs (Women Airforce Service Pilots) during WWII located in the WASP Museum in Sweetwater, TX.

Checking Out the Tree on the Morning of  Christmas Eve Day

My daughter and I and two grand kiddos went to this fantastic burger place for breakfast in one of the nearby towns this morning.  They usually aren't open for breakfast, but since this is Christmas Eve day they made an exception.  They were also running a competition for the best photo of people wearing their PJs.  The winning photo will win the maker a gift certificate.

Right inside the entrance they have a beautifully decorated Christmas Tree. My grand kids are very difficult to photograph but while I was trying to get them to turn around they decided to both look at the tree and the ornaments so I grabbed this shot which I actually like a lot.

Maybe we'll win the gift card.  Maybe not.  Either way, it's still one of my fave burger places.

Merry Christmas to y'all, 2020.

Second Pond Trail,  5.4 RT

74/365

Another hike.  Another spectacular day.  However, I think I'm going to have to stop posting about our hikes.  Not that they aren't great, at least so far.  Not that they aren't worth writing about.  Not that they aren't a great opportunity to get outdoors and spend time with good friends. 

Just that they're beginning to look an awful lot alike.  Really....the woods are the woods are the woods, and even I'm beginning to think I don't really need to take photos every time we set foot on a trail.  So maybe I'll only post the images of whatever might be a little out of the ordinary.  

Now that we have a few "moderate" hikes under our belts, we're talking about tackling longer ones.  

Oi !!!  

But I digress.  Today's hike ended at a small lake, at a not-too-hiker-friendly area.  No comfortable place to sit, no way to get close to the water.  But we managed to eat our lunch and enjoy the breeze.

Just as we were getting ready to trek our way back to the car, one of the ladies  ventured off the trail for a few yards and found the real camping area where there was a wide open area and comfortable rocks.  Whatever~  we still had a great time. 

The Islands

I wanted to do something else with the blocks after my post from yesterday. I had a very short window of time while the baby was sleeping, so this is what I came up with.

I'd love to try something like this again with some Island accents. ie. flowers, lei, photos etc.
