Day #319 - 1st POTUS

I saw someone do this on Flickr and thought it made for a cool picture, so tried it myself. Really looks cool when you click for the enlarged version. Gotta love macro!

Day #318 - Fortune teller...

Guess what we had for dinner??

Day #317 - These little piggies...

Tonight was pamper my tootsies night. They got a sorely needed Swedish file treatment, footbath scrub, nail clip, and lots of lotion. Then I treated them to a paraffin bath and finished up by slathering on more soothing foot cream. Soft as a baby's butt!

Day #316 - Beastie Boy...

I've really been struggling to come up with photos this month and this one was totally uninspired and effortless. The beastie decided my cluttered desk was where he was going to lay his head, so I turned on the light and took a so-so picture of said head.

Day #315 - Raking 'em in...

Getting a little raking done before the football game interrupts ... ;)

Day #314 - Where'd my life go??

Jeez, talk about time flying by!! I've just applied for social security benefits this week and I gotta tell you, it's a mind-bender! How'd I get this old this quick?? lol

Day #313 - Food drive...

Tomorrow is pick-up day by our local troop for the annual food drive sponsored by the Boy Scouts of America. We always enjoy shopping for this one... it's a good thing. :)

Day#312 - Carry out...

Didn't feel much like cooking tonight so we picked up some Panera's french onion soup and smoked turkey panini on the way home from a doctor's appointment. Really hit the spot and warmed my bones on our first cold-enough-for-a-coat day.

Day #311 - Limited view...

This has been my view for most of today. I had an especially nasty attack of vertigo last night and have spent the day tucked nice and warm in my chair dozing, watching a little TV and staying off of the computer. It seems to make me feel woozy. Hoping to feel more like myself tomorrow.

Day #310 - Memory block...

Another sweet memory I came across today. It's been tucked away in the drawer for safekeeping while all the renovating was going on.

My granddaughter and her mommy (Hi Cindy!) lived with us for 9 months when she was a baby while my AF son went to tech school. Then they moved to California. After they left, I found one of her forgotten blocks and dissolved into a puddle of tears because I missed her so. I thought the "U" (you), meaning her, was very symbolic and I've kept it on my desk all these years as a precious keepsake. It can still pull at my heartstrings every once and awhile. *sniff* They grow up so fast...

Day #309 - Feeling the heat...

You know it's a slow day when all I can come up with for a picture is a space heater! *sigh*

Now that the weather is turning chilly, I've acquired a new best friend in this little treasure I found at Target. It has variable heat settings ranging from 60-80 degrees and two speeds. I usually have it on low 60-65 and it puts out more than enough heat to keep me comfy. It's uber quiet and the front changes color so you know it's heating. Oh, and it also oscillates. Great little heater - I am pleased.

Day #308 - Biscuit King...

I'll be the first to admit it - my husband makes waaay better biscuits than me and I take full advantage of the fact. Early on in our togetherness, he introduced me to toasted biscuits for Sunday breakfast and I've been hooked ever since. So, periodically, he bakes up a batch of biscuits which we then freeze. Then we can enjoy a toasted biscuit or two whenever we want instead of having to rely on leftovers. One of life's little pleasures. :)

Day #307 - Deer danger?

This was the weirdest thing. A whole bunch of deer ran out of the woods, across the field, and then just stopped! The whole story is on my regular blog - Lil Bits of Me.

Lew, being the cool dude that he is, ran upstairs and got my camera for me. I'm always impressed with the zoom on my camera; where they were standing is about 1/4 mile from the house - the photo was taken with the zoom all the way out.

Day #306 - Let there be light...

Well, it fits into its contemporary setting, and it'll be nicely functional with the two individual light arms, but I have to admit, our new floor lamp for the family room is a little strange-looking!
