February Photo A Day #28

 

Another stop we made on our trip to Atlantic city was Niagara Falls, on the American Side. I've been there more than I can count. This is my favorite picture of a close up of the falls. I think the purple flowers make it look so pretty!

Well, that's it for my photo a day project. I hope you all enjoyed them! I have to admit I was stretching at the end for things to post! But I always enjoy it and probably will do it again next year! 

I'll be back with a normal post soon. 

Until then stay safe and well my friends!

On our visit to Atlantic City we noticed they had a huge population of stray cats. Someone was taking care of them, though. This is a bunch of cat houses and shelters underneath the boardwalk that stretch on along pretty much the whole thing. 

Until tomorrow stay safe and well my friends.

Several years ago Rich and I took a road trip to Atlantic City. We stopped for the night in Pennsylvania and while looking for something to do after dinner I saw in the hotel information book that we were only about 10 miles from where United flight 93 crashed during 9/11 so we jumped back in the car and drove to see it. At the time there was only a temporary memorial there but it was filled with all sorts of memorials, benches and signs and trinkets that people left. This is a picture of the actual crash sight. No one but family members were allowed on it. It's hard to see but there is an American flag right in the center. Made me so sad to be there. 

Until tomorrow stay safe and well my friends.

I cut this little cartoon out of the newspaper back in 1986. At the time I was a stay at home mom to a 7 and 5 year old and my little family looked like the picture! I must have been feeling pretty unimportant then ( I know, right?)  because this really resonated with me! I've kept it in my wallet for all these years until just a few months ago when I stuck it up on my bulletin board. It's still good words to live by, though! 

Until tomorrow stay safe and well my friends!

This was the little sticker closing the box of a mini waffle maker I bought recently. The French interpretation struck me as funny for some reason. Sticker De Sabotage sounds so much more ominous than Tamper Sticker, don't you think?

Until tomorrow stay safe and well my friends!

This is me and Rich in June 1981. We were in my brothers wedding party. I was 9 months pregnant with Shauna. The date was June 20th and Shauna was born on July 11th! When I had the dress altered the seamstress took it up at the waist instead of the hem to bring the fullness up! I actually really loved the dress and the hat too! 

Until tomorrow stay safe and well my friends!

Every January our town has a ice festival where they display ice carvings, have contests and other activities.  Normally all the happenings are together in the park and it draws a big crowd! This year they only had small ice sculptures in front of the businesses so people could just walk up and down the streets to see them. It's freezing cold out right now so we haven't done any walking but I did jump out of the car to take a picture of this one in front of a little boutique. I thought it was pretty with the red roses embedded in the bowl!

As a side note, last year it was so warm the weekend of the Ice Festival that all the sculptures melted before the festival even started!

Until tomorrow stay safe and well my friends!
