Yesterday, we spent much of our day tidying up the garden area, moving the walking stones, pulling weeds, and spraying fungicide on the roses... so, by the time our evening rolled around, although we had plans to go to the movies, we ended up staying home & watching "CHOCOLAT" on DVD.
Oh... how I love my weekends... but, don't you find they sure speed-by?
But, enough of that ~~~ this week's SCAVENGER HUNT words are:
CROSSED, A GLIMPSE, HANDWRITTEN,
BLISS, & GRAY.
 |
| CROSSED |
 |
| from Sundance catalog |
I really wanted the wire hanger from the Sundance catalog, but they were sold out... the difference is hearts or hooks {World Market version}.
My choice for something that's CROSSED...
 |
| A GLIMPSE |
Want A GLIMPSE into our summer travel plans? we've booked an OAT (Overseas Adventure Travel) Tour to Peru. We're keeping our pre-travel books handy... I've started to make a mental list of photos I want to capture on our tour. If any of you have traveled to Machu Picchu or the Amazon Rain Forest, I hope you'll consider sending me an email so we can chat about your experience.
HANDWRITTEN
Here are my Grandma Jesse's {maternal} diaries from 1947-49... these were the years my parents met & began dating, married & started their family. I turned the page to the day I was born... my Grandma documented everything... what was eaten for dinner, the chores completed for that day, what bills were paid & the cost, which errands were run, the high school & pro football teams scores... what they watched on TV (they watched a lot of wrestling)... even their pinochle scores. It's such a treat to see her HANDWRITING & read her dailies!
BLISS
BLISS for me!!! sitting in my great-grandmother's rocker, reading magazines & sipping a cuppa tea or coffee!
GRAY
Gosh, without resorting to taking a picture of the GRAY sky or my GRAY pants... I really struggled with what to post??? so, I went to my photo archives & posted photos from another SHS... personally, I like the original color shot! how about you?

ReplyDeleteOh you are so lucky that your grandmother wrote a detailed journal. The things you could make with those journal entries.
ReplyDeleteI like the color version better in your final shot - I think it adds a richness the gray one lacks. How cool to be able to read your grandmother's journal entry about your own birth! Nice set this week, Christine.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful set of photos! My favorite would be the handwritten journals! This just tugs at my nostalgic heart!

I also love your bliss image, such a treasure to have your grandmother's rocker!
