CB&WPC: Winter Trees

In my previous post for RDP, I mentioned that we had a mild winter this past year. So mild, in fact that trees began budding in February. This was a couple of weeks after the biggest snow storm we had last February! But winter lingers and teases – when in March we all ready for […]

RDP: Slippery in Winter

Last winter was a mild one for the Chicago area in comparison to others in recent memory. We got some snow, after which it thawed a bit, then turned cold. This made the roads and sidewalks icy and slippery. It became easier and less hazardous to walk on the crunchy snow than on the sidewalks […]

In the Pink: Yum Yum!

Becky’s Month of Squares challenge for September is “In the Pink.” I love cookies! And cookies with frosting are nearly irresistible! After taking this photo of a heart-shaped cookie one Valentine’s Day, I was tickled pink that it was mine to devour! Yum yum!

So I have transferred my more recent photo files and documents to my laptop computer (which I am using now) until we can figure out why my desktop isn’t getting online. […]

Month of Squares: Pink Bossa Nova

Becky’s Square Challenge for September is “In the Pink.” This is a Cuban restaurant in Lincolnwood, IL called 90 Miles Café. We went there one evening with friends to hear Brazilian music by Bossa Tres – and to eat Cuban food, of course! The dance floor was lit with this bright pink hue. Note the […]

I’m not sure what this is, but it’s somewhere in rural Oklahoma. Sign in Uranus, Missouri (very strange place – I’ll be posting more of it […]
