The Secret Garden | My Sunday Snapshot #24

Hi, welcome to My Sunday Snapshot 24! I have been walking this path on several occasions. One of those walks, I encountered the morning dew. On my most recent walk, I discovered ‘the secret garden‘! I’m surprised I never noticed it before. All the privacy fences look like most fences. Each house back yard is facing the main road. You can see each house similar fences in the top image below. And then the last one in the row, ‘the secret garden‘!

Of course, I just had to take a few images of the pretty flowers. Notice the critter in the white one? Not sure what kind it is. Tried getting close to see. Can you tell what it is?

Have a wonderful week!

Take Care. Best wishes, Debra

Morning Dew | My Sunday Snapshot #21

Hi, welcome to My Sunday Snapshot 21! Friday morning I needed to be at the hospital for my Prolia shot. Getting up early allowed me to go on a morning walk. Beautiful morning, a soft breeze, not hot, As I was walking I notice the sun sparkling off the grass dew. I tried getting a picture of the sparkles. My lens did not capture the prism off the wet grass. However, I was able to capture the water drops on the grass/weed leaves!

The little white flowers caught my eye. Not sure if a flower or weed. Cute what ever they are. Little tracks caught my eye as well. At first I thought when the critter whose wet paws made the tracks was instead created when the concrete was wet and the tracks are now permanent.

This morning walk was well needed. Started my day out right, refreshed, happy and not rushed.

Have a wonderful week!

Boom, Bang | My Sunday Snapshot #20

Hi, welcome to My Sunday Snapshot 20! My husband’s favorite holiday is Independence Day. For the past 8 years we have been driving to this one particular fireworks warehouse, PJs Fireworks in St. Joesph, MO. This year he spent more then ever before. Kevin was like a kid in a candy shop. As we rounded the end of one isle we were face to face with a new firework we have never seen. It’s the Kevin image above. Remember, my husband’s name is Kevin. We both laughed. Very fitting for him. Check out what’s in the cart below.

Of course we had to get one! Many different options to choose from. Always fun to see what he picks out.

We have a nice pond area. A small cabin with a fire pit is on one side of the pond. All the girls and kids get to set and watch as the guys are on the other side of pond lighting the fireworks.

A grand time boom, bang! I am looking forward to seeing this year’s display.

Have a wonderful week!

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

My Sunday Snapshot #16

Hi, welcome to My Sunday Snapshot 16!

Today’s image was purely unintended. The grand girls and I were trying to get the remote shutter connected to the phone when we were taking some selfies of us this weekend. We got a few bloopers. This blooper turned out rather interesting.

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 center piece — 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
