Today's Photo

'Bedside"

Now that I am a Widow

I get 2 Bedside tables

Both are antique pieces which I adore

The above table I found years ago at a Rummage Sale

"LOVE IT"

This one belonged to my mother's parents

LOVE IT As Well!!!

Catching UP...

2012-03-03T15:29:00.000-08:00

Whew...

I have been away from my

365 Photo Blog

Way too long

So, when my friend Gretchen

Posted this challenge

I decided it was time to

Play some catch up

March 1 ~ UP

While sitting in my backyard

I photographed the moon

Which was UP

In the middle of the day

March 2 ~ FRUIT

I took this little 'cuties'

Out to play in the yard

So they could soak up

SoME extra vitamin D

March 3 ~ YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD

Well, my neighborhood

Usually looks like this

Very few children and

Way too many vehicles

But, it's quiet!

Now lets see if I can keep up

For the entire month!!

Tomorrow

BEDSIDE!!

While driving home through my neighborhood

I spotted This:

I thought I lived in a nice suburban area

Not in New Orleans at Mardi Gras

I'm glad I won't be cruzin' the streets

Alone tonight!!!!

CHILDREN:

When your momma

Is in her office

With the lights out

Only the computer screen on

Working on a project

Totally oblivious to the rest of the world

It is NOT ok

To sneak up behind her and

Do THIS:

Just Sayin'

Now...
I think I'll go change my clothes:)

I usually don't have ANY brain power left at the end of a day

But, when I came home tonight

A friend shared a link regarding

How to change you facebook to the new timeline thingy

So I spent some time doing just that

I'm not sure what it will mean 4-6 weeks from now

Yet, it was kind of fun to play

Have a super night

I've been a bit slack

In posting here on my 365 blog

Below is a photo I took on Thursday

When my sister, her daughter and 2 of her kids came by

Cousins

My K~Bel on the left

Sis's E on the right

Just 3 weeks apart

It's fun to have our grandkids

Being raised together

Reminds us of growing up around our cousins

09.15.2011

2011-09-15T18:53:00.000-07:00

I absolutely LOVE

My Thursdays with K~Bel

But today
I especially enjoyed watching her do this

Just one more reason

I know I am Blessed

I have ignored my camera

And my 365 Photo of the Day Blog

For a week now

How Rude of Me :)

Anyway,

I got my camera out

In hopes that

By posting this photo

We would get some rain

You know how you have your car washed

And then it rains

Well, I'm hoping that

By telling you all that this Monsoon

Has been Extremely Dry in Ahwatukee

And posting the above photo as proof

It will decide to start raining

I wouldn't mind at all

Here's to a Good Down Pour!!

Sometimes

When you have had a long day

You come home

To find

Blah ... Blah ... Blah

You have no choice

But to Just

Dig In.........

Although today was not necessarily a Happy Day

I did receive some "Happy" Mail

I have created and ordered a couple of these Memory Boxes

From PaperCoterie

The first one I received was for my MIL

This one I will keep

And fill with some of the treasured items I received after Mark passed

I plan on placing all of the cards, letters and printed emails in it

As well as a few other precious items

Like my favorite photos

PaperCoterie is definitely

A place I am learning to LOVE to shop!!

2011-08-25T19:30:00.000-07:00

It looks like we may be in for

A little Stormy Weather tonight

But

Certainly not like what the East Coast

Is preparing for

Praying for all of our

East Coast Friends

I LOVE Happy Mail Days

And Today was a Perfect One

Last week I ordered a memory box for my MIL

I plan to put a few select items in it

And send it to her for Christmas

I'm sure she will add some special treasures of her own

Well...

It arrived today

It's hard to tell from these photos

But the box is about 9x13

And will hold many pictures

As well as lots of other treasures

I like it so much

That I will be going on-line tonight

And ordering one for myself

Today

It has been 8 months

Since I lost my precious Mark

It's been a tough day...

Getting ready for the weekend

I cannot remember the last weekend

When I didn't have plans outside the house

So,

Saturday I will be heading to Home Depot

To purchase

Some more of this

So I can finish a few projects

I LOVE this Dark Truffle

And stuff to put in these

We have WAY TOO many BUGS

Around this house

And I am freakin' out!!!

I also plan on taking a meal

To a friend who had surgery last week

And maybe spending some time with my

Granddaughters on Sunday

That always makes me Smile :)

What about you?

What are you doing this Weekend?

08.18.2011

2011-08-18T19:05:00.000-07:00

The Exciting Life of a Widow

Yup!

I'm watching football

Have Mercy!!

2011-08-17T17:16:00.000-07:00

HONESTLY

I DID

NOT

TAKE

THIS

PHOTO

However,

Coming home from a long day

And hearng that the boys

found one of these

by the pool today

Does NOT make this Momma happy

This weekend I will be dawning

"Have No Fear Armor"

And Spraying

EVERYTHING

In and Near my home

I suppose when you don't take care of those things

For a year

Well...

Let The Sorting Begin

I finally had all of my photos

From my trip to California

Copied and placed on CD's

I ordered several copies of each photo

Now I just have to sort them all

And prepare them for their final destinations

A long night ahead

I Do Believe!!!

2011-08-15T20:00:00.000-07:00

Just as I was getting ready for a quiet evening

These precious people

Stopped by for a swim

I'm so blessed

To have my kiddos live in the

Same neighborhood as I do

While searching for a few items

I needed to give myself a pedicure

I realized that I might just have

An obsession with

Make~up brushes

I think I was better off

When they weren't all in one place

Too bad I left my Kabuki Brush

At a resort last year

Never could afford to replace that one

Oh My

Do they have counseling

For this sort of thing

08.07.2011

2011-08-07T17:29:00.000-07:00

Today's Photos come from our little

Trip to California two weeks ago

We stopped at the World's Biggest

Dinosaur (museum) of sorts

It's just outside of the Palm Springs

Palm Desert area

And a perfect place for a

Quick break on a very long trip

And besides:

It's right next door to the

Brighton Outlet Store

And you know This Girl

Wouldn't pass up that place

Here's to a Super Week

GIRLS JUST GOTTA HAVE FUN

In these intense and sometimes long

Work days

As we prepare to upgrade our

EMR system

Some days you just
Need to take a minute to laugh

My employer and I had just

One of those moments yesterday

She is in the last days of her

Mini mouth restoration

And I am in the first weeks

Of my Major Mouth Renovation

We wanted to get a quick

Photo before her braces come off

Next week

Because I have clear brackets on the top

She didn't think anybody could see

Enough of my metal mouth

Let's just say this turned into

A comedy of Sillies

SMILE :)

Hi Photo Peeps :)

I just don't know how this happens...

You leave town for a few days

Your desk is completely cleared off

You arrive back home

And find this...

Are there mail fairies in AZ??

I guess we all know what I will be doing tonight!!!

At least I got a license plate for my new car:)

Have a great one!

2011-08-01T18:43:00.000-07:00

This week I will share just a few photos

From my trip to visit with my MIL

Here I am with her (Liz)

On the last day of my trip

It was so wonderful to share

Some precious time together

While on our little trip away

Little Miss K-Bug

Learned how to shoot

Her Great~Grandpa's

Red Ryder

May I just say:

She was a Quick learner

Which made her Daddy

A Very Happy Camper

I know what he will be purchasing

For his Little Girl

For Christmas:)

2011-07-25T20:34:00.000-07:00

Taken this morning

At 6 am

Just a 20 minute drive

From where I left a portion of my heart

And God said...

A new dawn

A new day

A new beginning

Lord, I trust You!!

As I drove home from work

I was in the midst of yet another

Haboob - Dust Storm

Fortunately

It was not as intense as the last one

I was able to shoot these two photos

From my pool area

Which, btw, is now totally dirty again

I suppose that is just life

In the Desert!

Enjoy your evening,

Cindy

Hi Friends :)

Welcome to my new Photo Blog

After completing my

30 Day Photography Challenge

I decided to start a

365 Blog

To highlight my days or weeks in pictures

I'm not sure if I will really post a photo a day

But I will enjoy

Learning to use my Camera

Editing

And Posting as often as I can

So, again Welcome to

A Clear Lens
