Day 160 – We went to the Classics and Chrome show today and got a chance to get close to this beauty. Built in Germany in 1939, this Maybach Special Roadster is one of only two ever made. Its top speed is 120 mph. The MM on the logo stands for “Maybach – Motorenbau”.
Day 157 – “Take me out to the ball game, Take me out with the crowd / Buy me some peanuts and cracker jack, I don’t care if I never get back / Let me root, root, root for the home team, If they don’t win it’s a shame / For it’s one, two, three strikes, you’re out, At the old ball game.” – Take Me Out To The Ball Game by Jack Norworth. We went to a baseball game today at Miller Park in Milwaukee, Wi. The LA Dodgers versus the Milwaukee Brewers. Dodgers won 4-3. But the game was exciting, the clubhouse was relaxing and the company was wonderful. Put me in coach, I’m ready to play.
Day 155 – I love to eat. I love to indulge, in moderation. Food should be more than just fuel for the body, it should also nourish the soul.
Day 154 – After a couple of black and white photos I thought I’d bring back a little color and fun.
Day 150 – I love these daisies with the purple and yellow centers. They are all in full bloom at the Lincoln Park Conservatory. It’s a wonderful place to visit (and it’s free). There are rooms for ferns, orchids, garden plants and palms.
Day 145 – “Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter, and those who matter don’t mind.” – Dr. Suess
Day 144 – One of my favorite Johnny Cash songs – “I’ve Been Everywhere”
Day 139 – “O bed! O bed! delicious bed! That heaven upon earth to the weary head.” -Thomas Hood
*credit for this photo goes to my husband who so lovingly snapped this shot of me during my marathon 6 hour nap today.
Day 138 – Does anyone else remember Saturday night slide shows? The hum of the circular carrier and the smell of heat from the lamp, the occasional backwards or upside down slide, and of course, the endless viewing of unknown places and faces from your parents’ past.
Day 133 – I knew a woman who loved daffodils. She painted them on sheets of shale with delicate calligraphy.
