Ash Wednesday 2019

Thanks be to God.

I hope YOU have had a nice day.

Time to say goodbye…

…until April 18th. Actually, after two pieces, my craving for sweets has been severely curbed.

Have a pleasant evening, wherever YOU may be.

Goodnight!

In Olympia; waiting for contractors to finish before I can shoot. Took a moment for lunch.

I hope YOU are well. Have a nice evening.  

Goodnight! 

Good Monday Morning to YOU!

I had to pull another all-nighter. It’s 7:00 a.m. Time for a nap.

Have a nice day!

Good Saturday Morning!

I hope YOU had a nice Friday!

Discovery Bay, WA (09/22/2017)

Another busy day for me today. Bremerton, Port Ludlow, and Port Townsend are on the agenda.

Focus on hydration today. I’ll do the same.

Please take a moment to smile. Thank YOU. I really appreciate it.

Have a Nice Friday!

I was juggling SD cards and I came across this:

Patterson Lake; near the base of Sun Mountain, WA (05/29/2012)

It’s from the first day I shot with a DSLR.

It was already quite a few years old when I picked it up on eBay.

My Canon Rebel XT

I even used it on some of my early complete listing shoots. Later, I would just use it to mount on a painter’s pole for elevated shots. I think I stopped using it about two years ago. I bet I could still have fun with it.

I really like this Bob Dylan cover…

Have a really nice Friday. Take time to laugh and find YOUR smile.

Thank YOU for visiting. I hope these posts mean at least half as much to YOU as they do to me.

Goodnight!

Good Afternoon from the PNW!  It is a sweltering 46°.

I hope YOU have had a good day so far. The carnitas were problematic.  I'll just leave it at that.

Eat. Hydrate (which I really need to do), and Smile! 

Good Afternoon to YOU!

Still more snow photos…

Silverdale, WA (02/11/2019)

…and I hated yesterday’s selfie. Today there was overcast. That helps.

Still need to shave.

I hope YOU have had a nice day so far. 

Have a restful evening.  Eat something yummy.  I’m going to try to make carnitas with one of those pressure/slow cookers that everyone seems to have.  Mine is some off-brand one that came free with an air fryer that hasn’t arrived yet.  I’m kind of excited to try both.

I hope YOU know that YOU are WONDERFUL!  I could never express that enough.

Goodnight!

Good Morning!

Did YOU have a nice night?

Mt. Baker from Fort Worden, WA (02/26/2019)

I’m going to the dump today so, needless to say, the atmosphere here is electric. Cannot stop; will not stop, even without a subject in my sentence. #dangerous

Have a great day! Smile!!

Guilty Pleasure

I don't think my pastors see this blog,...

 ...only because I'm a hopeless romantic, it has a good dance beat, and it's been an exceptionally long day of work that isn't even close to over. 

I hope, again, that I caught YOU in time to wish YOU  a good night.  YOU mean so much to me!

Sorry for not getting anything up sooner.  Busy, cold day.

Fort Worden, WA

I hope YOU have had a nice day so far.  Smile and eat something.  That's next on my agenda. 

I took a lot of these pics...

…literally and figuratively, low hanging fruit.

Silverdale, WA (02/11/2019)

I hope YOUR day has been treating YOU well.

I’m in the process of decluttering.  It’s liberating, but there is SO MUCH to do!  FYI- I was not inspired by that Netflix show; just a desire to be able to function in my own home.

Clean house or not, YOU are always in my thoughts.

Goodnight!

Good Monday Morning to YOU!

How was YOUR Sunday?

Silverdale, WA (02/11/2019)

From Saturday; a little culinary improv, which describes most of my cooking…

I remembered to add the vegetables after the sauce had reached a decent taste and consistency.  It was a good veggie mix, but they were frozen.  As they thawed, the sauce was both cooled and diluted.  After I brought the heat back up, the resulting reduction didn’t come close to the original sauce.  I was really quite bummed out about it.  I did, however, use fresh Thai basil.  That stuff rocks.

Today, I ask YOU to do something very easy: eat something better than my meal on Saturday.  Thank YOU.

Have a great day!  Smile!!  YOU matter so much!!!

Have Blessed Sunday!

The Symbolum Nicenum (Credo; the Nicene Creed) portion of the Mass concludes with Confiteor.

Confiteor unum baptisma in remissionem

peccatorum, et expecto resurrectionem mortuorum,

et vitam venturi saeculi.

Amen.

(I acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins;

I look for the resurrection of the dead,

and the life of the world to come.

Amen.)

God Bless YOU!

Peace be with YOU, always!

Good Saturday Morning to YOU!

I hope YOU had a nice Friday.

Dyes Inlet, WA (02/11/2019)

Have a nice day today.  Eat something with caramel then smile. 

Never forget how BEAUTIFUL a person YOU truly are!

Thank YOU!

How's YOUR Thursday?

I hope YOU are having a nice day.

Dyes Inlet, WA (02/11/2019)

I’m going to get the rest of my snow pics up this week in order to make room for new blossom shots, which I hope are just around the corner.

I know I have posted this song before, but it is a favorite and Weezer just recently put out this cover. They actually have done a number of 80’s song covers; paying homage to clearly the best decade for music that ever was or ever will be.

Have a nice Friday! Please take time to do or find something that makes YOU smile.

YOU remain in my thoughts wherever YOU are.
