Dr. M & I both took photos of the zinnias this week, but our focus
was just a smidge different.

Peaches the Rose is just so pretty right now. I love how the flowers cluster together to give you these big floofy blossoms.

Dr.
M’s zinnia flowers – he caught a photo of a butterfly too!
Here are my zinnia photos. I posted them with this caption: Things die & things bloom & we go on and on. Good news? Hard news? Yes.
Dr. M’s Dolly post.
I was trying to find the end of this yarn and it was giving me fits!
A friend posted a poem talking about going to Goodwill & getting a prom dress from 1982. Which made me go track down a photo of me from 1982 wearing my senior prom dress. Ha! The one on the left is from 1981, my junior year. P.S. the advantage of going to your proms stag is that you don't have to crop anyone out of your photos later.
I decided to add leftover homemade bourbon chicken to our morning omelet & the verdict from Dr. M and me: Weird.
Later - I am entirely TOO FULL of banana pudding to change that paragraph up there. What food is too tempting for you to resist?
I laughed out loud at Dr. M's tribute pan! The yarn you were trying to find the end of looks like some sort of string candy, but that starfish! Good heavens. Those slightly crossed eyes really do give it quite an expression! I'm glad you're happy with those hearing aids, too. Fully functioning body parts are pretty darned important!
ReplyDeleteThe eyes were supposed to look like they have eyelashes, but then I sewed them on sideways, so now I have no idea what's going on. It would be pretty hard to take them off & try again, but I might have to attempt it!
DeleteI think the starfish is cute! I remember prom dresses like that from my high school days. (Not on me, obviously!) That first one has a sort of Laura Ashley/Holly Hobbie vibe! I like your past-their-prime zinnia pictures.
ReplyDeleteI LOVED that dress when I got it, but now I'm not a fan. Ha!
DeleteProm dresses certainly have changed.
ReplyDeleteYes they definitely have!
DeleteOh, I haven't had banana pudding in eons! It sounds SO GOOD right now.
ReplyDeleteMy prom dress--circa 1977--was made by Gunne Sax/Jessica McClintock. Very similar to this one!
Laughing (but in reverence!) at The Professor's skillet!
Love your dress! That was definitely an era of its own.
DeleteOne thing I love about photos is seeing different vantage points, a reminder we see things differently, not necessarily wrongly. Things bloom and things die...yes. Your school was in it to win it with the "photo booth" setup. I guess in those days it was very important to make it count.
ReplyDeleteThe photo booth was a very important part of prom! I was never on the committee, but I know that they put a lot of thought into it.
