November Six Word Photo Story Challenge: “Happiness” — The most fun on two wheels. I got this beach cruiser for Christmas last year. At first, I was disappointed with the color because I was pretty sure we’d ordered black and pink, but when we took it out of the box, it was army green and pink. It took me a bit to get used…

Jumping for joy with the letter J — An A to Z Challenge — Jigsaw puzzles I’ve always loved jigsaw puzzles. The quiet concentration. The satisfying click of a piece falling into place. I don’t have them anymore, but I can still remember my earliest puzzles — Wonder Woman and Mork & Mindy. Once I start a puzzle…

Indulging in images that start with the letter I — A to Z Challenge — Ice cream I’ve been craving frozen yogurt lately, but after one of our recent lunch trips my husband and I stopped by Jeremiah’s Italian Ice — this was as close to froyo as I was going to get for the time being. They serve gelati, Italian ice, and soft serve…

My back-to-school playlist for 7th grade — I’m always late to the party, but I have arrived with 12 songs on my back-to-school playlist. I fell in love with rock ’n’ roll the summer before my 7th grade year. Before that, I listened to some country because it’s what my parents listened to and I loved Duran…

October Six Word Photo Story Challenge: “Site or Sight” — An iconic sight at the fair. We’ve been going to the State Fair of Texas for years. Sometimes multiple days in one season. Like this year, the husband and I went on a Friday and, the next day, we took our youngest son and granddaughter. Both days were fun and I experienced different sights (and food!)…

October Six Word Photo Story Challenge: “Site or Sight” — Walking to ward off the blues. I’ve had a lot of nervous energy the past week and a half, and thankfully the weather is finally nice enough to allow me to get out and breathe in some fresh air. Sitting too still and letting the quiet surround me is too much right now. Besides, I’ve cleaned…

Happily highlighting things that start with H — A to Z Challenge — Hearts Whenever I tell my granddaughter about a prompt or theme for a story I’m going to write, she immediately wants to help. It makes creating photos and stories that much more fun. We were at the park last weekend, and on the way out, I asked her to take…

September Six Word Photo Story Challenge: “Shadows” — The bookish shadow solves the mystery. It’s slowly getting darker earlier. I’m ready for the cooler temps, but I still want that sunshine til 8:30p.m. I guess we can’t have it both ways. I was sitting outside yesterday, enjoying the sunshine and when I turned to come back inside, I noticed my shadow on the back…

September Six Word Photo Story Challenge: “Shadows” — Plump pumpkins line the garden path. This is from our visit a few years ago to the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Gardens. It’s a beautiful, peaceful place. I especially love going this time of year when all the pumpkins are on display, like this bunch of pumpkins with their little shadows. The garden has its Autumn…
