Realistic | My Sunday Snapshot #27

Hi, welcome to My Sunday Snapshot 27! I had a lunch date with my friend, Cris, yesterday. I had taken her wedding pictures last year. We try to get together every 2 to 3 months. The Legends is half way for us to meet. Wonderful place to meet. After lunch we walked thru the moll and visited many of the stores. Girls and shopping, what else can I say 🙂

Checking out several clothing stores, we finally went into Maurices. I typically shop Wal-Mart, yep. Well, the one thing I noticed was all the signage. Not just here, but at all the clothing stores. It was here, I saw more realistic posters. The featured image, in my opinion, is a better representation of the ‘average’ female person. They had the slender models in other posters. It was just refreshing to see ‘this’ poster and the one below. I felt more comfortable seeing them 🙂

Have a wonderful week!

Take Care. Best wishes, Debra

Kansas Comfort | My Sunday Snapshot #26

Hi, welcome to My Sunday Snapshot #26. I had the most wonderful time visiting and photographing a lovely young lady, Cresinda. Senior Portraits! As I have mentioned, I am a ‘retired’ professional photographer. However, if any of my past clients/friends request that I take their photo, I am pleased to do so. This was such an occasion. The featured photo and the ones posted below were taken with my iPhone. The actual images for Cresinda’s gallery were taken with my Nikon. I must say I was quite pleased with the phone pictures.

Have a wonderful week!

Take Care. Best wishes, Debra

Commercial Driver’s License

Commercial Driver’s License | My Sunday Snapshot #25

Hi, welcome to My Sunday Snapshot 25!

This week my image is more about a change. This change was unexpected. Currently, I work 9 to 5:30 from home. This isn’t too bad one may say. For me, not the best. In no near future will I be able to work the open shift, 7 to 3:30. when I did have this shift, I was able to be in the pool by 4. Get an hour in the late afternoon sun. As it is now, the pool is mostly in the shade. I am 60, my kids are grown and I am only working for the health insurance. Otherwise I would be ‘retired’. Okay, rant over.

One of the local towns I drive thru to get to Lawrence is Tonganoxie. One day in July I had seen a huge sign that the school needs school bus drivers. Ding, ding 🙂 With an inquiring mind, I went to the USD website and looked up the description. Full time is 20 hours a week. One can select either the health insurance or vision/dental insurance premium to be covered 100%. It would be split shift, morning route and an after school route. but I would have 4 hours between the two shifts I can be floating in the water 🙂 There would also be the occasions for extra driving time with school activities. I completed the online application. So we will see. I’ll keep you posted.

One more little rant. After picking up the CDL manual and reading; there is a section on Road Rage. I found this interesting. Many times I wonder if other drivers (especially the ones out of driver’s ed) knows this. On highway’s with more than one lane traveling the same direction, the left lane is for passing, not to just drive in. Did you know this?

don't drive slow in left lane — Don’t drive slow in the left lane.

Here is more from Flo (Progressive).

Have a wonderful week!

Take Care. Best wishes, Debra
