The past couple of days have been great emotionally, physically and mentally. Not so great Fat Secret-y though. Well, not horrid but things like that darned corndog that grabbed me by the nose and force fed me.
I think I may have chipped or cracked a lense on my Nikon when I dropped it yesterday. Crazy. You can see it in the top left corner:
I call this one ‘the worlds most stubborn butterfly’ because it would never spread it’s wings for a better shot
I love these roses - they have the most incredible fragrance
And this photo was for Kathy but I couldn’t figure out the two bumbles and Blondie said they were … well.. bee porn.
Yesterday was ‘Dance your Feet off Friday’ in Bellawood. I was cleaning and rearranging some things in the shop and had Paul Simon playing (yeah, I know.. I’m OLD) and really couldn’t control myself on ‘loves me like a rock’ or ‘kodachrome’. I was having a great time except my UPS driver wouldn’t dance with me. My USPS carrier did. So did a couple of customers. It was great.
The downtown festival kicked off last night. I walked it several times today - first time I was ever able to do it without rushing back to check on Cutty. I bought two small paintings and walked off my already danced off feet. I ran into several people I know including my Yoga teacher and we stopped into the winery and split a burger and a bottle of wine. Then she went to the auction with me. I won a Lane sofa for $75; it’s beautiful, NEW, and CLEAN (the nose knows!) I’m excited. Will get Blondie’s crew to help me go get it tomorrow.
Speaking of auctions and Blondie’s crew - a couple of journals back I mentioned buying a huge lot of jewelry for her at the auction to sell this weekend during the festival. She wouldn’t. Didn’t want to open, blah blah.
Well color me the ‘delighted deal maker’ because after pulling out at least 30 or so really interesting necklaces and pairs of earrings I stopped at the first vendor booth selling jewelry and asked if they’d be interested in buying it all. They were! I doubled my money from the auction and could still fill a huge jewelry box with the pieces I kept!
Maybe it was just having a day off, nice weather, and the smell of corn dogs in the air but it was a great day. My legs are aching but my heart is happy.
One last photo before I go. I cannot figure which I want to kiss the most… that mushed face or those precious feet. Dare you not to laugh or at least smile.
And that’s it. I’m getting sleepy. Thank you for stopping to visit with me.

PS - one last thing.. saw this the other day but don’t think I’ve posted it - very thought provoking (to me)
