Art Collaboration | Sunday Snapshot #43

Hi, welcome to My Sunday Snapshot! It’s spring break. One day at my daughter’s home we had planned on going to the zoo. However, the weather turned winter like, 30’s with slushy rain. Instead we stayed in and painted. Brynlee had a large canvas that was divided. In the bottom picture, my painted section is the lower left quarter. It was a fun time shared, memories made!

We folded the laundry after painting. You know how it is, the important stuff first!

Have a wonderful week!

Take Care. Best wishes, Debra

Generations | My Sunday Snapshot #40

Hi, welcome to My Sunday Snapshot! Family time. I truly enjoy family time. My mother rarely likes to have her picture taken. This time was different. Here is a picture showing the four generations of ladies in my family.

We were sitting in the living room and my daughter suggested we stand up from shortest to tallest. My phone was in my purse. As we were getting in line, I rushed to get my phone. Tossed it over to my son-in-law. Asked him to take the shot. He did!

Erika (daughter) had Briella (grand daughter) stand beside my mother. Briella has gained some height in the past several months. She’s the tallest of us now!!

Years ago my mother had collected many different pictures of family members. She cut around the people in the image eliminating excess space. She then put them all together, creating a collage of sorts. Framed the collage. She was pointing out people and naming them for Brynlee.

Have a wonderful week!

Take Care. Best wishes, Debra

October Highlights

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.

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.

Take Care. Best wishes, Debra

Evel Knievel Museum

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!

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….

Scarborough Fair

Scarborough Fair | My Sunday Snapshot 17

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

Sidewalk Chalk Masterpiece | 101 in 1001

Sidewalk Chalk Masterpiece | 101 in 1001

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.

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.

Memories made!
