Vacation
For our family the word "vacation" means one thing, Stillwaters Resort on Table Rock Lake, just outside of Branson Missouri. We rent a condo, I take my boat, and we swim, fish, tube, nap, shop, and just enjoy a week being a family. The grandkids like this place better than Disney World.
Food
A local farmers market features this little food trailer serving fried to order, mini donuts. You can order 8 or 12. If you order them dusted with cinnamon, eight will not be enough. Trust me.
Sound
If you think this little '35 Olds Coupe, with rumble seat, looks good, it "Sounds" even better! A friend brought it over so we could use it to photograph some Prom pics. It is one sweet ride.
Texture
To be perfectly honest, everything has some sort of texture, even glass. I just thought that this batch of mixed lettuce that I found at the farmer's market had an interesting combination of color and texture. Just a few more veggies, and maybe a little grilled chicken breast and we have ourselves a great salad.
Anything
It is Memorial Day week-end, so I thought it only fitting to remember my father, who served in the U.S. Navy during WWII. While Memorial Day was originally set aside to remember those who lost their lives serving our country, it has evolved into remembering any of our loved ones who have passed away, regardless of the circumstances. Dad passed away in 2009 and I do miss him often. He was special in so many ways. Have a blessed week end.
The picture of your father is fantastic - thank you for the time he spent serving the US!

ReplyDeleteGreat old car! And yes, I would definitely get 12 mini donuts!
ReplyDeleteWell done - love the tribute to your dad!
ReplyDeleteI love your vacation shot. Your grandkids sound like pretty smart cookies to me. We have never taken our son to Disneyworld just because standing in long lines just doesn't sound like much of a vacation to us.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo of your Dad.
That lake is so inviting! love that shot! So sweet to put your dad's photo in there. Happy weekend to you.
ReplyDeleteThat sure does look like one smooth ride!! My step father was in the navy during WWII also. He died this past September.
ReplyDeleteExcellent use of the prompts. I remember many loving posts about your father. What a great tribute to him.
