Day 115 (480)


Facial Feature

Today's photo challenge.

This was taken last weekend when at the Sculpture Garden with this challenge in mind.

Tonight I took the photo below and with my whacked sense of humor I was going to try to tie this into today's photo challenge. I'm sure if I thought long enough I could come up with a way of connecting the dots. ha!

Hippie Potions and Lotions

Image
Fun day today.  The past several days have been spent getting things done before we leave for Florida.  My business is the most organized it has ever been.  This morning I cleared my custom order board and mailed out all pending orders.  Late this morning I headed for the kitchen and created some wo nderful lotions. The pretty peppermint jars contain "Peppermint Perfection", a luscious hand balm that has a heavenly peppermint scent. The "Green Stuff" is a boo-boo salve.  It works great on cuts, burns, very dry skin and it stops bug bites from itching. And the pretty lotion in the middle is "Mara's Magical Moisturizer" which I created for my granddaughter to help relieve some of her dry skin caused by eczema.  This is a new and improved version.  I am hoping this will work even better than the last batch. Not in this photo is the body wash I made.  Super rich and its wonderful smell is peppermint and sweet orange. The fun

  Laugh out loud moment...   Today was a crazy busy day and time to take any photos just hadn't happened.  While in the shower I came up with this idea.  Yes, a quiet moment to myself and I'm trying to come up with a photo idea.  Whatever!   The laugh out loud moment of this whole scenario was the behind the scenes hilarity.  First, it was REALLY steamy in the bathroom which made my lens on my camera fog up (duh!) and I couldn't keep it clear for very long.  Second, I couldn't wear my glasses for the same reason so this was shot half blind.  And third, I was trying to turn the bulbs in the light so I had a little less BRIGHT light while wrapped in a towel.  I'll just leave the third item at that.  I'm pretty sure all of you have great imaginations.  ha!   Someone posted on Facebook to make sure to have a laugh out loud moment today. I'm so glad I have no problem laughing out loud - at myself.

Memento

This is my great grandfather Frederick Wilhelm Gustav Engel.   This is one of my favorite photos of Grandpa Gus.  There is something so familiar about him.  Is it just because we belong to each other? The pocket watch was handed down oldest son to oldest son.  When my uncle died my cousins gave it to my Dad who turned around and gave it to me. It took me almost two years to figure out what to do with the watch. But with the help of my hubby making this custom shadow box I have the perfect place for this family memento. I love being the "keeper" of my family history.  Genealogy is what I LOVE to do.  I always say "If this paid better this is all I would do." Edit:  I had thought about cleaning and shining the watch but then started to think about all of the people who had touched it over time.  Gus and probably my great grandmother Mary.  Their children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.  As well as great, great grandchildren and great, great,
