~~Bad Haiku Friday~~

 

It is a grand day

If for no other reason

Because it's Friday

On this Fall weekend

Get in your car and travel

The roads of color

The sweet calm sunshine of October, now
    Warms the low spot; upon its grassy mold
The purple oak-leaf falls; the birchen bough
    drops its bright spoil like arrow-heads of gold.
-   William Cullen Bryant

I'm having...This morning I'm having Irish Breakfast tea.

My teacup is...Boldly colored.  It's eye opening this very early morning.  No picture because cameral is on tripod for celestial photography by Ron.

I'm feeling...refreshed. Yesterday was a day when, although things are not totally completed, I made progress on projects.

On my mind...memories of a summer now passed and gratitude for the pictures to cherish when the winter winds are blowing.

Early Morning

~~Adventure Tour Epress~~

LABOR DAY, 2010
PART I

The adventure started the day before as we began our trek from Indiana to Georgia.   Atlanta has a

lovely skyline.  As it happens Uncle Jimmy had plans for Grandpa, Dad and the four boys.  You see the Dragon Con Parade was on Saturday

And it was a glorious day in Olympic Park.  What a beautiful sky and lovely feathery clouds

There was lots of things of the boys to do while waiting for the parade to begin.  They were able to make stands for their footballs.  All of this sponsored by Home Depot.

What a thrill it was for all the "Boys" to see Bat Man and his Bat Mobile...

And look at all those famous super heroes!

Finally, there was the thrill of having your picture taken with a real race car...Well, maybe not so much these boys, as they live in Charlotte, NC and they get to see these kinds of cars all the time.  But it was fun for Grandpa.

And what were Maddie, Mom, Aunt Kelly, and Mom doing?  We were at the outlet mall just having a wonderful time!!  And as for Maddie...She's a trooper!!!  Yep!  Shopping is in the blood!  And Part II will be shared next week!

Thanks be to God!!

Now it's your turn. Please join in the fun and post an adventure we can all share and then link it here for all to see.

~~Mosaic Monday~~

When I tried to take pictures this week of the full moon and Jupiter I had no luck whatsoever.  Ron went out one evening a just sat patiently and this is the result.  There was no telescope and just the inexpensive Canon...Well done, Ron!!!!

~~~^j^~~~

Thanks be to God!

Visit Mary at The Little Red House and share in the beauty offered there.   Lisa at  Macro Monday  also has much to offer.  The pictures are grand.

I would also like to remind you that Wednesday is Adventure Tour Express.  Be thinking about the adventure you would like to share on our journey together!

Laughter MEME

Picture by Mary Engelbreit

Sue at In Him We Live And Move And Have Our Being has challenged some to a Laughter MEME.  As she says:  

Since laughter is not only healthy (apparently), but also fun, how about challenging folks to post links to the funniest thing they've ever seen? It could be a video or a picture or a joke... but something that's sure to get folks laughing.

So here is mine!!!  I find myself laughing heartily every time I see it.  Please enjoy!!!

Now I offer this challenge to:
