family silver

My daughter-in-law’s mom and sister graciously hosted us for Thanksgiving. It was a delightful holiday, with good food, lots of laughs, time together. And a beautifully set table.

what it looks like inside a dust storm

It was hard to tell if this old house was coming or going…either way, I have some concerns about the stability of the right-hand side. It’s developed a bit of a droop.

To be clear, the dust was NOT blowing the day I was there. But it was definitely a possibility given this place’s location in the middle of a cotton field, which was itself in the middle of an arid region. My mind assumed the dust and through the Magic of Editing™ I was able to get the photo to look the way a dust storm feels. (If you’ve never been in one, you ought to head out here and give it a try!)

fall (in more ways than one)

There is a lot of weird stuff to look at in Mineral Wells.

I can’t wait to go back.

ring light

Barbershops fascinate me, for reasons that I can’t figure out.

But anyway, I can’t recall seeing one that had such modern lighting. (Also I did enjoy the way the two capes were draped over the chairs.)

dancing feet

I was walking toward the mural to get a photo and noticed the reflection in the car window; my trip was halted right then.

Sometimes I can be easily distracted…
