Photo Scavenger Hunt #92...


       


Photo Scavenger Hunt #92 will be due on Sunday. October 15, at 11:00 PM EST.


The subject this week is:
  "Trees, leaves, and anything
                                               
changing!"


I know we already had "Autumn", but I think I introduced it a bit too early.  I think we can get some wonderful shots this week!!  Hope you all have some fun with this!  And, yes, Raven

Monday Morning Question!...

 

         


If you could wake up tomorrow morning being suddenly proficient in any musical instrument, which would you pick?


my answer:  I have wanted to play the wooden recorder for some time, so I think I'll pick that.  I have wanted to find a good one for some time and teach myself.  I just haven't done it.  I think the learning is the fun part, too.  I wonder how much one costs?  Anyone know?  What about you What would you like to play?

I wanted to thank Krissy
for allowing me to continue the Monday Morning Question and the Photo Scavenger Hunt while she has been away and has been busy caring for her husband John.  I am honored that she has given her games over to me for this short time.  Thanks, Krissy!  I will probably be doing them this week and next, and if all is well, Krissy will be taking them back in 14 days.  My prayer is that your lives slow down enough so that you can do this, Krissy!  Thanks for stopping by, everyone, and keeping the games alive! xox

P.S.  I realized that I forgot to do "Wordplay" Saturday morning.  It totally slipped this fibromyalgia-fogged brain.  I will try to do it sometime this week, or pick it back up on Saturday.  Sorry if you came by Saturday morning looking for it.

Six weird things about me...

      
      "
I used to think that anyone doing anything weird  
       was weird.  I suddenly realized that anyone doing   
       anything weird wasn't weird at all and it was the  
       people saying they were weird that was weird.
"
                                                         
-Paul McCartney




Krissy tagged me with the "six weird things about me" game that is going around.  I, like her, couldn't think of anything right away.  Then it was hard to narrow it down.  LOL  Aren't we ALL weird?!  So here is my list:

     1.  I type with my toes (in my imagination) in the air when I am in bed at night.
        
     2.  I take tags off of everything I wear - shirts, pants, underwear, even shoes,
          before I wear them the first time, so the tag won't bother me.  I don't even
          give the tags a chance to be a nuisance.

     3.  I walk barefoot every chance I can get - even in the winter and even outside
          and am often seen without a coat in the winter.

     4.  I don't like sitting in chairs.  I sit and lie on the floor a lot.

     5.  I don't like pizza very much.  I eat it if it is the only thing available to eat. 

          I would rather eat liver and onions.

     6.  When I am reading journals from U.K. writers, I very often read them with
          a British accent in my head.


Okay, now I tag anyone who dares to be weird also!!  Have a good day and STOP laughing at me!! LOL  xox

Photo Scavenger Hunt #91...

              


Photo Scavenger Hunt #91 will be due on Sunday. October 8, at 11:00 PM EST.


The subject this week is:
  sunrises and sunsets

This idea came from Greg at Photo Trek.  If you can't get a sunrise picture because you are not an early riser and can't seem to get a good sunset shot, how about any skyshot
?!   Let's see the sky in all it's glory this week!   Thanks for the idea, Greg!!

Monday Morning Question and a reminder...

         

Where is your dream retirement home?

my answer:  I think I would like to have a home somewhere close to the ocean, but still be close to family and friends.  That, or maybe nestled in a small home in the mountains, away from everyone but close enough to civilization that I can still visit family and friends. Anyone want to buy me a house?  LOL   How about you?


I wanted to remind everyone to keep watch on The Gazette
.  Krissy is commenting in there on your submissions!  Thanks!!  I will be back shortly with the Photo Scavenger Hunt participants.  Hope you all are having a lovely Monday morning! xox
