A year of self #5 – Cookie!

Daughter and I usually bake cookies for the holidays but this year work schedules conspired against us. One of our standards is a delicious Ginger Spice refrigerator cookie. We’ve used the recipe so many times, the cookbook opens automatically to the dough-stained pages. We love them, and I really missed not getting my fix this year.

So imagine my surprise today when I walked into the break room and saw a baggie full of what appeared to be my favorite holiday cookie! Their size, color, and sugar-coated cracks caught my attention right away and a quick nibble confirmed what my eyes beheld.  Of course, I had to eat more than one!

A year of self #4 – Of sweatshirts and puppy dogs

The session started out quietly enough . . .

But then it got too hot for the sweatshirt . . .

And if I’m on the sofa, Nina has to be there too. So up she popped to check out the goings on in the cul de sac.

Pentax and Portra

My brother and sister-in-law recently bequeathed me two of their film cameras. I took the Pentax K1000 out for a spin with a roll of Kodak Portra 400.

These were shot at work on a rainy day.

Some of you will recognize this hydrant. I have featured it before.
