Random Photos Reminding Me of Warm Days

Today's photos for the Scavenger Hunt Sunday prompts are a bit random. I searched through my archieves for most of them. Hope you like them anyway! 

1. In a Row

Last Sunday evening Joe and I packed up from the market and went to Tulsa for a few supper (Okie word for the evening meal) and a few groceries and some much needed mailing supplies. Our first stop was Sam's Club. No cars in the parking lot??? Sign by the door showed they close early on Sunday. We thought we may as well drop by a thrift store before eating. Closed. We tried another, and another. Both were closed. Next stop, Panera Bread. Closed for a meeting! We finally settled for CiCi's Pizza.

After supper, we stopped at Quik Trip for gas. They were open. Yay! It was quite windy and the flags fluttering between the store and the gas pumps made a beautiful sound. This isn't what I expected when I took the photo, but I love all the colors!

The flags were all in a row,  but not as many rows as appears in this shot. I was pleasantly surprised. I had expected the blur, but not the duplication.

2. Salty

A photo to fit the salty prompt was not an easy find. This was from several years ago when we took a friend to California to live with his son. We vacationed our way home. My daughter fell in love with the ocean.

3. Sweet

We came home from the market a couple of weeks ago with several bags of apples. We took this batch to my mom. The bag burst before I got them to her door. This was worth the effort it took to pick them up. They were nice and sweet, especially after mom put them in a cake!

4. Sitting Down

My grandson loves to perch in high places. You may remember the shot of him last summer sitting high on a rock reading a book. Technically he isn't sitting down at all, but I love the photo. 

5. Just Because

This is one of my favorite shots of the wagon train expedition we did with our home school group several years ago--just because!

Hope you enjoyed my interpretations for the prompts this week. Thanks for stopping by. Please leave a comment to let me know what photos you like the best. If you posted in Scavenger Hunt Sunday this week, I will visit your blog and comment. Wishing you a great week!

Scavenger Hunt Sunday--Week 27

It feels like summer again. Maybe it will last awhile this time. Joe turned the heater off yesterday morning and put the air conditioner in the window today. Tornadoes danced all around us last week but we weren't in the path of any. My heart goes out to those who were affected by them. I just can't imagine... Despite living in Oklahoma in the middle of tornado country, I haven't been in one. I would love to keep it that way. They terrify me.

I haven't had time to get my camera out much this week. I have been busy working on the schedule for the Successful Writer Conference my writing group from Tulsa is hosting the 31st of this month. I have worked on creating / formatting a program for it every night this week. I didn't get it perfect, but was able to get it close to what I wanted and posted it on the facebook page for the conference. I am still exhausted. Tonight I was finally able to think about SHS. All my photos are from inside the house. Here goes!

1. On My Feet

These are my favorite shoes. Sadly, they the won't stay on my feet.  :(

2. Shapes

Vintage cooking cutters came in many shapes and sizes. These are just a few. Children have a lot of fun making cookies with them. The dough doesn't always release from the cutter as perfectly shaped as I would like, but the grand kids love them anyway. 

3. Little Things

I like little things. My house is full of them. These are just a few. The little perfume lamp is my favorite in this group.

4. Good

Last weekend we were given fresh spinach and radishes. Yesterday a friend shared a loaf of bread with us because she didn't want to freeze it. We bought steak from the markdown bin and we had the potatoes. All we needed was a grill. Joe found charcoal from a year or two ago. This old black smith bellows made a handy grill after he added an metal cake pan from the scrap pile and a rack from an old icebox. The charcoal didn't want to stay lit but as you can see below, the steaks did get done--a little too done, in fact.

We put it all together to come up with this meal. Mine had a sweet potato. His had red potatoes. We had $15 in the whole meal and got all we wanted to eat and had the left overs for supper tonight. We don't eat red meat often, but the steak was GOOD and the price was great, especially since we both ate two times from it. 

5. Egg

I found this cute little egg basket at a second hand store a few days ago. It won't hold many eggs, but I only needed one for this prompt. Notice the old apron under it? I never think to wear it when I'm cooking but it made a great prop for this picture. I love the orange ric rac.
