Snapshots

January 17, 2011

I’m out of practice. Just two days without writing and I feel all creaky rusty.

It takes a lot to keep me in working condition. I think I’m what you’d call A High-Maintenance Person.

In times like these, photos come in handy, prompting me with something to talk about. So—

HEY! I just got an idea! I was going to say that I’d post the pictures and then write about them (whoa—how original is that!), but then I got me an ay-dear. I’m going to post the pictures and let YOU write about them (choose just one or write about them all). Then I’ll do another post (such organization! such planning!) with the same pictures and the best, most creative, most interesting captions. (In this case, truth holds not a drop of water. Live wild!) I’ll eventually tell you what the pictures are really about. Or not. We’ll see.

What say you? Does it sound like a plan?

Okay then. Here goes!

    P.S. Re: paragraph two above? Definitely, yes. 🙂

    P.P.S. Re: photo #7 — did the first starts not make it or are you taking plant reproduction into your own hands?

    #9 — Six minus one.

    (The first bag didn't make it past Mr. H's lunchtime at the Frankferd Farms buying group pickup spot. Didn't he 'fess up?)

    number five: You ate so many French baguettes last week that you can't stand the thought of shoving one more tiny morsel of carbalicious goodness into your mouth. Instead, you stand there and make sculptures with it.

    number six: Come on Mr. H. I'm pretty sure you know how to fix that little drip.

    number nine: You thought maybe you'd stash the chips on the floor to fatten up the mice so they don't scurry so fast through the walls at night.

    #1 – I just knew I shouldn't have answered the phone!

    #3 – This ISN'T the hole to lubricate my Cuisinart?

    #5 – Okay, which one of you kids didn't eat your crust?

    #8 – No talking during Mommy's break time!

    #10 – I know this isn't the way Mommy makes grilled cheese but it's the way I do it.
