ABC Wednesday ~L

Isn't it funny how fast the days fly? Last week on this day I was sitting in warm sunshine on a catamaran, just off the coast of Key West. That all seems like a dream, as I am now back in the 50 degree temps of Wisconsin.But my heart and soul is aching for summer. The result ... the pick for my ABC Wednesday~L ...

L is for Lakes and Lazy Summer days ~


Last summer, my daughter, her friend, and I took a trip to Northern Wisconsin to Lake Minocqua.


The first evening we went to the Lake and took pictures of the sunset.



The next day we went to a smaller Lake with a beach area to relax and enjoy the sun.

You can find more posts on the letter ~L~

Meet Me on Monday


It's Sunday night and time to join in on Meet Me on Monday.  What is that ... you may ask. It's a fun little meme hosted by JAVA @ Never Growing Old. Each week Java offers 5 questions. The idea is we get to know each other a little better. So, come on in and join the FUN!



Questions for Sunday April 3, 2011
1.  If you had to eat only one food for the rest of your life, what would it be?


I agree with Java on this one, but not just any bread ... I LOVE crusty bread and rolls!

2.  Do you write your blog posts in advance or the day you post them?


I always post the same day, usually right after I write them.

3.  Have you ever ridden in an ambulance?


Yes. When I was a Senior in high school I was in a car accident where a car sped through a yellow light and hit my car when I was turning left.  The car that hit me sped around another car that was also turning left, but going in the direction that it was going. The guys had been smoking pot and left the hospital before police could question them about the accident.

4.  What is your favorite candle scent?
From Bath & Body Works



5.  Coffee or tea?

BOTH!

2 cups of coffee in the morning.


Sweet Ice Tea the rest of the day!


AND ... occasionally ... a cup of HOT tea before bed! 

Now it's your turn!
Head on over to Meet Me on Monday
and make some new friends!

PS. Take a look through my blog, I was unable to post last weeks MMoM, but I did post on my blog. Leave a comment or 2 and become a "friend"!

                                                                                                          

By land, sea or air -Thematic Photographic 140 -

By land, air, and sea ~


It's Thematic Photographic time. Carmi over at Written Inc provides the theme , you provide the photos. I will probably post more than once this week for this theme, but for today, I'm going to try to post all 3 at one place, like my friend, A Paperback Writer.


These are photos taken a couple of years ago when we took a trip to Chicago.


The Hall of Transportation in THE MUSEUM of SCIENCE and INDUSTRY  shows all 3 modes of transportation.
