Semi Retired | My Sunday Snapshot #32

Hi, welcome to My Sunday Snapshot! I am finding more and more things to do now that I am semi retired. Going from 40 hour work week to 20 hours is giving me so much more time to do as I wish and not because I have to. After my morning bus route, I stopped into the public library to work on my site and seen this poster.

Heck, yes. I am so doing this. I chose to paint a rock. This rock!

The evening was an absolute blast. I met new friends. Laughed. Laughed a lot! And best of all, I have the rocks as keep sakes of a fabulous memory. What was even better, it was free!

Are you retired or at the semi stage, same as me? What are some of the things you enjoy the most with your added personal/home time?

Have a wonderful week!

Take Care. Best wishes, Debra

Cute & Little | My Sunday Snapshot #31

Hi, welcome to My Sunday Snapshot! While working in my new school position, I noticed the school’s bike rack. All the cute little bicycles!

Did you notice? Not one of them is locked up. None! It must because this is considered a ‘small town’? Although it is not as small as it once used to be; Kansas City is just East of our town. More of the population is moving out of the big city to the surrounding areas. Drive time to the West side of Kansas City is just a short 25 to 45 minutes depending on where a person works.

Have a wonderful week!

Take Care. Best wishes, Debra

Up Close | My Sunday Snapshot #30

Hi, welcome to My Sunday Snapshot! Today my snapshot is of a tree frog. Have you seen or heard one of these? Cute little critter! One of my absolute favorite thing to do is sit outside in the late evening (dark) sitting by the poolside, the solar lights glimmering and the sound of tree frogs. Peaceful.

This is the first time I had the opportunity to get up close to a tree frog. It was on the side of our cabin (down by the pond). It was a beautiful day when my daughter and her family came out for a visit.

Have a wonderful week!

Take Care. Best wishes, Debra

What to Wear | September 2

What to Wear | September 2

What to Wear will feature different palettes providing ideas when you plan the wardrobe for individual pictures or your family images during the holiday gatherings.

What to Wear | September 2 features ideas for all family members: mom; dad; big brother; big sister and little brother and little sister. Have fun preparing your stylish look for family pictures!

It is not necessary to purchase new clothing for better images. When planning the wardrobe, do wash and dry the clothing. Immediately after drying, hang the clothes on a hanger. Or iron, if you like. The main goal is wrinkle free clothing.

Shoes do not need to be new either. New shoe laces is an inexpensive purchase to spruce up the look. Polishing leather or washing canvas shoes is another solution to brighten their appearance.

Have the socks match either the pants or shoes. This is important for anyone who may be sitting or squatting in the group. Imagine if the pants are navy blue, shoes white and you see bright green socks. Very distracting. Your eyes will go straight to the green socks and not the person’s face! However, if the socks were either white (matching shoes) or navy blue (matching pants), your eyes will flow over the person and land on the face/eyes of the person in the picture.

Take Care. Best wishes, Debra

Mysteries

Mysteries | My Sunday Snapshot #29

Hi, welcome to My Sunday Snapshot! Today I got up early, went to the grocery store. As I walked toward the entrance I happened to glance at the bike parked at the bike rack. Not exactly why it caught and kept my attention. But it did. It took a moment, but did you notice what grabbed me? The bike had no seat. I wondered if someone tried to steal it. So I walked up closer.

I was more surprised. Now the mysteries are really rolling through my thoughts. 🙂

Have a wonderful week!

Take Care. Best wishes, Debra

Inspiration | My Sunday Snapshot #28

Hi, welcome to My Sunday Snapshot 28! Today’s image did not materialize until just this morning. Hence, my later than usual post time. I first need to explain the conversation I had with Kevin last evening. Out of the blue, he asked, ‘Would you want to go to 8 O’Clock church tomorrow?‘. Sure!

So this morning while selecting the clothes to wear, I was going thru my closet. Starting at one end, I looked at each of my shirts. As I was nearing the end, I had found THE one. It reminded me of my Aunt Phyllis.

Here I am wearing my Auntie P inspired shirt!

The sermon was just what I needed to hear. It was like the Good Lord knew I was going to be there. 🙂

My day is filled with love.

Have a wonderful week!

Take Care. Best wishes, Debra
