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.
So thank you for providing all these wonderful prompts.
It has been fun!
Thanks for the fun photos that show us some of your behind the scenes. I plan to participate in this challenge every month but haven’t yet. Maybe October will be the one.
ReplyDeleteI am not a photographer, but it is interesting to think about the prompts and how they relate to your personal life
DeleteSneaky Jorge is wonderful! I'd be happy with any beverage he felt like making. :-) Fun photos, neat post -- thanks.
ReplyDeleteHe 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.
DeleteFrankly, 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.
ReplyDeleteI think a lot of things in a pantry are just universal items!
DeleteYay a picture of Sneaky Jorge! He is awesome!
ReplyDeleteI'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!
My older two were much better sports when it came to casting their faces. Son3 was just not on board with it at all.
DeleteLove the photographic peek into your life/your world.
ReplyDeleteI like to keep things around me that make me smile!
DeleteNeat 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.
ReplyDeleteSneaky Jorge is a real character and a conversation starter. Very cool!
Jorge has lived here for about 10 years and I have never gotten tired of him!
DeleteGreat finds for all the prompts, Anne! I especially enjoyed seeing what was in your pantry!
ReplyDeleteThe October monthly photo challenge's theme is "Autumn" if you'd like to participate. 5 or more photos of Autumn.
Thanks Bless. Where do I find the challenge?
DeleteIt's over on Eileen's blog:

She mentions the October theme at the end of the blog post.
I love the casts of your sons' faces. What a wonderful idea! And Sneaky Jorge is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI am glad I cast their faces even though they are in much worse shape than. they were originally.
DeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteI 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.
DeleteI love Carole King.
ReplyDeleteMe too!
