Sam & The Lobster Part 2

Taking Out the Stuffing

Sam & The Lobster

Serious Business

It's been awhile since I shared some pics of the dogs.  This one has been processed and sitting in my folder of ready to post pics for quite some time.  I guess tonight is the night for posting. 

If I remember right, it was a couple Christmases ago that this stuffed lobster was brought to the dogs by Santa.  He's very good to our goofy dogs.  And they just loved this lobster.  That is until Sam removed all his stuffing.  Poor lobster.

Happy Thanksgiving To All

I want to thank each of you for sharing this wonderful experience with me.  I appreciate the comments, the feedback and just knowing that you are out there receiving my work.  And for that I am very grateful.

People find it far easier to forgive others for being wrong than being right. ~ Albus Dumbledore from Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

Through The Looking Glass, Sort of . . .

The Big Win at the Carnival

I know I've heard that title before.  Not sure if it's a movie or a book or both.  Either way, I've never seen it or read it.  I think maybe it was a thriller or something like that. 

This was taken within the past month.  One of those moments when my son would let me take his picture.  He always seems to be more willing when he knows it's going to be something different.  And for that I am glad.  For me, it's always just a little more fun to not only photograph things that I find interesting, but to include people that I care about makes it just that much more special.

My last few quotes have opened up a few discussions - which I've enjoyed.  I like hearing other people's perspectives - that is as long as they are not starting a conversation with the single purpose of showing me that I am wrong.  That drives me crazy. 

So I think there are a few more words that deserve a better look.  And, we will get to those each in their own time.  Like I said the other night, judgemental is something that is very hard to talk about without getting into other emotions and feelings and "words" the get all lumped together.

But for tonight, here is a wise quote that always makes me smile.  Enjoy:

Wisdom doesn’t automatically come with old age. Nothing does - except wrinkles. It’s true, some wines improve with age. But only if the grapes were good in the first place. ~ Abigail Van Buren

The End - of this run of photos

A Study in Clothespins Part 4

I promise, this is the end of the clothespins. 

Earlier this evening, I asked Ryan to get some items together from around the house that I can photograph.  We will see what he comes up with.  Should be interesting.

A Simple Question for You



A Study in Clothespins Part Three

 You know, after looking at clothespins for three days, I have a question.  Does anyone really use clothespins anymore?  At least for what they are intended for - to hold clothes onto things like hangers and clothes lines for drying?

Not at our house.  Here are three of the current uses for clothespins in our home - a toothpick shooter, a whistle and a "hold onto my craft project while the glue is drying" item.  I have a small bucket of them that sit on my desk for just that purpose - and they go nowhere near laundry or the closet.  Too funny.

So, do you or anyone you know still use them with clothing?

Okay, here's the quote for tonight.  I'm not going to elaborate on this one - of course I say that now and then will surprise us all by getting long winded again (me included in that surprise.)  What?  It's happened before...

This quote is simply food for thought.  A little tag along to last nights posting.

Action seems to follow feeling, but really action and feeling go together; and by regulating the action, which is under the more direct control of the will, we can indirectly regulate the feeling, which is not. ~ Dale Carnegie
