Girl Scout Cookies, or Not?

Girl Scout Cookies, or Not?

Hi, welcome to Gma’sPhoto!

Each week when Adam and I share dinner and a movie, I like to pick up some sort of dessert/snack. This particular time I had gone down the cookie isle at the grocery store. The Oreo’s were all on special. The mint creme caught my attention. So I bought one package of them and of course one package of chocolate chips.

If you like the Girl Scout Thin Mint cookies, you will enjoy the Mint Oreo’s. Not only are they tasty, the price is even better! Between me and Adam, we ate the whole package that evening.

Have a wonderful week!

Take Care. Best wishes, Debra

Toilet Paper | My Sunday Snapshot

My Sunday Snapshot #15

Hi, welcome to My Sunday Snapshot 15!

My Sunday Snapshot was taken during my ‘Happy Birthday Party to Me’ party. This year I turned 60 and celebrating 20 years cancer free (with God’s grace)! What I find amusing, this is not my first post about toilet paper. You can see the first post about TP here.

The image above was placed onto each table as the center piece. I have included the center piece in the image below.

Toilet Paper Cake!

The main table center piece was made with many rolls of toilet paper 🙂 My folks contributed the items added to this cake from their own medicine cabinet! Mom thought it was funny when I asked her to contribute to the cake decorations.

No gifts were requested. What I did request was a selfie with each of my guests. There were many, here are some of the guests I knew wouldn’t mind me sharing.

I am so grateful and blessed to celebrate my 60 years and that my folks are with me to do so. This was definitely a milestone I will cherish forever. My family and friends made me feel very special.

Thank you for joining in on my celebration!

Have a wonderful week.

Take Care. Best wishes, Debra

A Little Surprise | My Sunday Snapshot

A little surprise

My Sunday Snapshot #14

Hi, welcome to My Sunday Snapshot 14! I had a little surprise waiting for me when I was cleaning the pool skimmer. Usually the skimmer is filled with leaves and a few small bugs. Well, this time a baby turtle!

Mud turtle

When I first saw this turtle I wondered if it was a snapping turtle. Snapping turtles are not a wanted turtle for our fishing ponds. So I text a picture to Kevin and he was the one who identified my little surprise turtle.

Go Back | My Sunday Snapshot #11

Hi, welcome to My Sunday Snapshot 11!

Looking through pictures on my phone, I ran across my Florida trip images. There are so many pictures I want to save to an external storage. Even with my cloud storage, there’s something about saving to my own drive, security. Who knows, those services may raise the price to an amount I would not be willing to pay. I would still have access to my memories. After reminiscing- Oh, how I want to go back.

I can still remember how the sand feels.

On our way to the Wamego Tulip Festival!

Meeting people is fun. While visiting Wamego, Jim was the person who greeted us as we went into the ‘Old Town’ area. He was in front of the communication building featuring the telephones. To see images of the antique telephones and other festival images, click here.

Ten years ago, there were just a few vendors, mainly informational. This year it was packed, vendors, food vendors and visitors! The main entrance took you thru the food court. Many different foods to pick. We arrived right at lunch time. For lunch we went to the tent where the Knights of Columbus grilled hamburgers, right side in picture. And on the way out we went to the Stumpy’s Smoked Cheese food truck on the left in the image. Oh my, the Mac and Cheese with bacon was delicious!

Topeka, KS Capitol | 101 in 1001

Topeka, KS Capitol | 101 in 1001

Hi, I had the fun experience while running an errand for my son. This errand took me to Topeka, KS. This city holds a special spot in my heart. First and foremost this is where my daughter and her family call home. Topeka is a city of history as well. #15 of my 101 in 1001 can be checked off!

While in Topeka I decided to visit the state capitol. The dome was my interest on this trip. For many years the dome was a lime green color. After the restoration, the dome is a dark brown. I wanted to get up close and see the changes.

This is how I remember it looking.

This is how it looks now.

The images of Notable Kansans and of First Peoples were hanging on stone walls.

Briella, Brynlee and I were successful in climbing all 296 steps to the top of the dome!

We discovered after this climb, Brynlee is afraid of heights. Regardless, she was a trooper!
