    Photo-A-Day LOVELY.  Today my LOVELY daughter Selena turns 42. I can’t think of a better LOVELY! Selena is LOVELY inside and out.  She’s a daughter, a sister, a wife to the Golden One Dan.

Selena is a Volunteer for the Sexual Assault Response Team/ DV response team She hikes, she paddleboards, she camps and she manages to make me smile everyday.

  • April 4th Photo-A-Day Childhood Toy

    Antique Doll Photo-A-Day Childhood Toy

    Photo-A-Day a Childhood toy. Seriously?  This prompt has my eyes wiggin’ out!! Which ONE of my childhood toys to share? OF COURSE I have toys!! I mean helllllllllllo, have these past Photo-A-Day pictures not made you a believer when I say I AM A HOARDER?!? One of my all-time favorite toys was actually my Moms. When my Mom was 5 she wanted a brown eyed babydoll. This was at a time when most of the dolls had blue eyes. Leave it to my Grandpa to find a brown haired, brown eyed doll at the Goodwill!!  By the way, did you know that the Goodwill has been around since 1902?? And in the United States since 1915??  I had no idea! This is Suzy. Suzy has a wind-up heart; which is a ticking noise. My late sister Patty was terrified of this doll. Sooooooooooo wanna know why my sister sends her spirit to haunt me?  On-naa-counta I may have wound up Suzy’s heart and threw my sister in the same closet. She screamed so loud that she had hives for the rest of the day.  Yup, I got my buttocks WHOOPED but good after that. Course, when I was a teen…

  • April 3 Photo-A-Day SHAPES

    Party time Freshen Up Your Home Home Renovations House in Sandpoint Idaho

    Photo-A-Day Shapes. When we bought this house the previous owners left the table. Probably because of the sheer size! It’s massive. It’s solid. It’s HEAVY!! It looks as if it’s handmade. It’s so pretty. I plan to LIGHTLY sand the table and apply a dark stain to it. I just want the coffee rings off, but to keep the character marks. I plan to recover the cushions. I bought a plain dark brown material.  It’s all on the very long ‘to do list’ Seriously, by the time I get my list done I’ll be 110 years old. ANDDDDDDD mostly I’m lazy, well more like easily sidetracked. Like photos a day. Or painting. Ohhhh no painting like the doors nooooooooooo like craft painting. Yeah……. easily sidetracked. So here is my awesome HUGE table with unique SHAPES And of course Bear! Get out the camera and she thinks it’s all about her!! Which normally it is. Once again, I could have cleaned off the table and made it look all pretty but I got sidetracked. AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!! Did you see my Photo-A-Day Lovely prompt?
