I'm Late, I'm Late, For The SPSH Date

I am so sorry that I am so late posting this. The Summer Photo Scavenger Hunt organized by Patio Postcards should have been on my blog October 1. I had houseguests and just did not get around to finishing it before then. I was busy and it just slipped my mind until this morning when I was doing a little blog cleaning and organizing. OOPS! So here it is, in all its lateness! 




June:  A Breakfast of Champions  
July:   Favourite Time of Day
Aug:   Something To Represent Home But Not The Building
Aug:   Head In The Clouds; shapes or interesting patterns

Aug: Something That Is Cause For Celebration
June:   Your Marie Kondo Moment – Or Not 
Aug:    Inside Your Fridge Or Cupboard
June:   Your Best Doodle Art (not public graffiti) 
July:    A Guilty Pleasure; Something That Recharges You
Aug:    An Exit
June:    Upside Down, Right Side Up  
Aug:    Steps, But Who's Counting 
Aug:    Decades Of Sharing; find something in your home that is from the 70's or80's or 90's or      00's




This is my interpretation of the prompt "an exit". My sister and I sold Mom's house and experienced the ending of physical ties to our family home.




Ya'll are crazy as loons if you think I am ever going to post a picture of the inside of my refrigerator. You are stuck with looking inside my pantry.




Sorry about the blurred photo. I never see the FedEx truck or the UPS truck when they deliver to my house. I was literally walking out the door when I noticed the truck, stopped to make a delivery to the house across the street. I grabbed my phone from my pocket and got one quick shot before he left.




Pre-Covid, I volunteered at a facility to provide social and recreational needs for adults with different abilities. A local business donated a lot of all occasion cards to the organization for the participants to use as they wished. This week, I received cards from some of the them. If this  is not a cause for celebration, I don't know what is!



Steps, but who's counting, from Mom's deck. I will confess I have counted them hundreds of times going up or down them. I imagine I will never count them again.


We have experienced one of the wettest summers I can remember and I have never have a camera handy on the few sunny cloud filled days. Instead of heads in the clouds I opted for heads on the wall. When my older two sons were young I cast their faces in plaster. Both casts had a couple of accidents before I had them mounted and framed. They have lived on my bedroom wall for a long time now. When Son3 was the same age I tried to cast his face, but he was having none of it!




Nothing says home like Sneaky Jorge, the butler who lives in my foyer. He has been known to greet dinner guests with their favorite beverage (if I know in advance what it is). 
Today he is just holding a ticket stub though I have no idea why.
His face is a little terrifying, but overall he is a pretty nice chap. 



And last ,but certainly not least, is the photo of something decades old. Uncle Bob made these for all of his great nieces and nephews, regardless of their ages, for Christmas one year. I know these were made sometime in the 80's.


So thank you for providing all these wonderful prompts.
It has been fun!

    1. I am not a photographer, but it is interesting to think about the prompts and how they relate to your personal life

    1. He is a fairly good butler nd as long as I give him a little heads up, he is likely to have a cold beverage ready.

  3. Frankly, I'm besotted by Sneaky Jorge! And so touched by the greeting cards, knowing your presence wasn't forgotten. Yep, I recognize several items in your pantry -- the green salsa and Hatch are staples in my kitchen.

    1. I think a lot of things in a pantry are just universal items!

  4. Yay a picture of Sneaky Jorge! He is awesome!
    I'm impressed with the face casts of your boys too. I had trouble getting casts of hands from my kids, and I can only imagine the meltdown if I tried to cast their faces.
    Fun photos!

    1. My older two were much better sports when it came to casting their faces. Son3 was just not on board with it at all.

  6. Neat photos! I love the casts of your son's faces and would like to try it with my grandson....but I suspect he'd be like your 3rd son and want nothing to do with it.

    Sneaky Jorge is a real character and a conversation starter. Very cool!

  9. I love Carole King and still have my Tapestry Album. In 2012 I was able to go to a tribute concert to her that was also a benefit concert. She was there and many performers sang her son. John Legend, Alisha Keyes, Katy Perry and Amy Grand were some of the performers. You have a well stocked pantry!

    1. I still have Tapestry and also have the piano book. It is in pieces now but I still hang on to it and am a threat to play Smackwater Jack.

Hey y'all thanks for leaving a comment. They are much appreciated. I read them all and do my best to respond to them, except for trolls or spam and I delete those suckers forever.
