Hi, welcome to Gma’sPhoto! I am changing my One Sentence a Day to the month’s Highlights. October is probably my most favorite month of the year. I’m eager to share these moments with you!
Now that I have passed the general Commercial Drivers License (CDL) test and have my CDL permit, I actually get to drive the bus. Sitting in the driver’s seat!
Sharing same no school days with the grand girls. Many of our days off match up and I am so excited. October 17 and 18 were such days! We went to the zoo, picked up Brynlee’s eyeglasses and went rock hunting.
Hi, welcome to Gma’sPhoto! Do you know who Evel Knievel is? My grand girls had no idea. Back in the 70’s I was in grade/middle school. I remember him as the one who rode motorcycles and got hurt! The Evel Knievel Museum is currently located in Topeka, KS. That’s in my back yard so to speak. My daughter and her husband was headed to western KS for the weekend. I had the whole weekend with my girls! 🙂
Kevin and I were talking about the weekend and what we could do with the girls. This museum came up in our conversation. Evel Knievel Museum will be open in Topeka until November 2, 2024 and then will relocate to Las Vegas in 2025. This will be a good time to visit Evel Knievel while it is still local!
For the one who rode motorcycles and got hurt, see just how many times! Injury Legend
For who is Evel Knievel, here is a bit of info about him.
Evel Knievel was the first live person to be featured as a “Super Hero” action figure. Evel made more from his royalties than from his daredevil stunts.

This excursion was more fun than I thought it would be. The girls even had a fun time. To see all the pictures taken, click the red banner above.
Oh, the museum exited thru the Harley Davidson Dealership. I found my next ride. It would be a special order color, powder pink….
Hi, welcome to My Sunday Snapshot 17. This week’s image was taken while my grand daughter was practicing her piano. I knew she was playing the piano and practiced every Sunday. It’s just been a while since I have heard her play. My youngest was the first to practice. Upon her request, I did not go downstairs to watch and listen to her.
Fortunately, I could hear while upstairs. The sound was lovely. When it came time for Briella to practice, she did ask me to go with her. She had three songs she practiced. Wow, I was mesmerized. It wasn’t until after she was finished that I thought to record. So I asked Brie to play the Scarborough Fair again. She told me she plays slow to concentrate on her finger placement. Then she will bring the tempo up. I like the slower tempo and told her so. If you would like to hear Brie play, click the center triangle ⏵ (or center of below image) to start the video.
She’s just 12 and I am so proud of her. Thank you for allowing me to share this with you.
Have a wonderful week!
Take Care. Best wishes, Debra

Hi, I’m so excited for this wonderful time with my daughter and grand daughter. We had planned to meeting up at my folks house today. Beautiful day outside. Erika brought some sidewalk chalk. It just happened that I was able to mark off #9 from my 101 in 1001 goal list.
Erika had Brynlee lay on the driveway and she drew around her, making an outline.Making an outline of Brynlee.
Brynlee then drew my shadow’s outline. The image of me standing with arms up and out with the shadow, Brnlee took the picture. After drawing other art, I had Brnlee stand where I was standing with her shadow over my shadow’s outline. Couldn’t get her to understand the sun shifted. 🙂
The two horizontal images, Brynlee wanted us to draw rabbits. Top right, Erika’s art, bottom left mine is the face outline and Brynlee’s is above the flowers.
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.Beautiful Sunrise
Take Care. Best wishes, Debra

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.
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!
To see images of us while climbing the steps to the dome and other pictures, click Kansas Capitol Gallery
We discovered after this climb, Brynlee is afraid of heights. Regardless, she was a trooper!
