Deep In The Forrest

Hello, my friend, hello Its good to need you so Its good to love you like I do And to feel this way When I hear you say Hello So Hello! :) As you can see, I made it back from my biking trip in one piece. We had a good time, although a 17 year old member of our posse was the only one who caught any incriminating evidence of debauchery due to the breaking of Mr. J's glasses, but that's another whole story. We started out way too early on Saturday morning because I thought we were supposed to meet the guys about 6 a.m., and he had said 7 a.m., so we woke up at 4 a.m. and could've slept longer, which I really wished I had in retrospect. So we ate breakfast at Shoney's, had coffee and waited for everyone else who was supposed to head out with us to arrive. Finally we were off to hit the trail. Early in the day clouds were still taunting us, and we encountered a few showers, nothing major. The scenery as we headed up through Tennessee and once we crossed over into Kentucky wa...

Late and short and to the point... It's WWC day. I have not been doing well at this because of lack of creative time. Things have been just too hectic and stressful with work and other issues. I am hanging in here though... Today's words are "8" and "Earth" (Thanks Tink!! WWC Now Brought To Us By Facebook) ;) Here goes: Mom, Cranking the Same Classic V-8 Truck She Used To Drive Me To Elementary School... Dig That! Peanut Butter and Jelly, a Down-To-Earth Snack! My Bike, "Jimi" Always Brings Me Down To Earth When I'm Upset Bonus Photo: "Tornado-Bound Sky"

Today is Weekly Words Challenge day! Normally, I link this over to the Mighty Tink's blog, but since she has deserted ship as it were, she has moved this over to Our Weekly Words Challenge Group on Facebook! So go there and check it out if you are on Facebook and would like to join in, why not add me as your friend if you haven't already... go ahead. Can you make the cut? haha. j/k At any rate the process of posting has changed slightly, but each blogger has decided what to do and how they want to go about it, I think many of us will continue to post the pics on our blogs, and then place a link to that in our WWC Facebook Group... seems like a plan. So here we go. This week's words were "H" and "Fade". I went rather minimalistic on this, rather than cop out completely. As usual, I don't think my photos merit much of an award, but here they are! "H" is for Hummingbird Summer Flowers Soon Fade What else can I say today? It's Tuesday, a...

Here we go. I actually made it eh? I'm quite proud, even though my photos are nothing special. I just can't seem to get into things and/or get time to devote to trying to be very creative. I hate that! Anyways, here's what I have... for what it's worth. I promise to make my full rounds as soon as I can... see you in a bit. -AJ Tink's Words For This Week: "Fear" and "Four" I have a terrible fear of wasps Fear Of Cleaning My Dirty Keyboard Four Pennies, all I have to my name... alms for the poor??

First off this fine Tuesday, I would like to extend a special thanks to the ultra-sweet Angela of 'No More Empty Fortune Cookies' for sending me a very inspirational reminder to stop neglecting my creative soul side. I am guilty of doing just that, I put other things before my own heart a lot of the time, and I have neglected my painting among other things so I appreciate that lovely note Angela! Thanks and I am going to really work on that. Strangely I am not late this week putting up my Weekly Words Challenge (WWC) photos, and I know you are all shocked! The Lovely Tink is our MC as always. This weeks words were "SOUTH" and the letter "O" . Although I never feel like I excel with these as much as I should (or would if I had plenty of creative time-my fault) I have them. Tires are shaped like the letter "O". nOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Face "O" Face When you see "Welcome To Mississippi" have no doubt, you're in the South! W...

Just a quick note to say that I finally updated my photos to the Weekly Words Challenge for this past Tuesday. I was later than usual yes. I only posted 5 photos, but You Can See Them Here. My name is (Aunt) Jaxxx and I approve this message.

Sorry for the extreme delay!! Here are my Weekly Words Challenge photos for this week... Tink had set the words for this week to "Happy" and "Blue". So here you go... Short and to the point! The blue items speak for themselves really... Dragonflies make me happy... Riding my motorcycle to scenic places makes me happy... The end! :)

This is "Weekly Words Challenge" day... it is. The enigmatic and fantastic Tink , our host, had set us up with "6" and "Look Up" for the words. You can click the WWC banner above to check out everyone else's work this week, but I am going to have to bow-out gracefully as I haven't had time to put any thought into photos, and I really don't want to cop out and use nothing but archived photos. I am ready for fresh new ideas and fresh thoughts. Therefore, I will try again next week... I promise. Soz!

Check out who's playing the: Host of the Weekly Words Challenge is the lovely Tink of Pickled Beef . This week's keywords are "C" and "Wood" . Quickly I will get these up, and sorry to admit I had to go archiving once again... sorry to disappoint. Just haven't felt up to shooting much lately and it's been so hot. Here goes. "Wood" "C" Yay.

It's that time again, but of course I was late this week, my apologies once again! Ok, am back. Thanks for your patience and understanding guys. I'll make it quick and mainly about photos and save all my knowledge and philosophy for other posties. Check out who's playing! This week's Weekly Words Challenge (hosted by the lovely Tink! features key words: "A" and "Favorite Song" (reminds of). I'll kick it off with the "A"s... Random Grocery Store Sign At Rest Autozone Park Gate Now with the "Favorite Song" thing... I can never narrow down my absolute favorite song, and it can change from time-to-time, so I just did a few that illustrate some of the songs (remember these are NOT necessarily favorites at all so no making fun lol) Nirvana "In Bloom" The Cure "Heaven" Theme song to "St. Elmo's Fire" by John Parr Bonuses, yeah bonuses!! Where Are The Bison? ;) Rainy Day Highway Until next time, thi...

That title rhymed... isn't that cool?? Ok, short one and to the point today ladies and gentlemen. I will be back later though for a story about "Uncle Richie" (a.k.a. Mr. J). For now, here's today's WWC (Weekly Words Challenge) brought to us by the very lean and lovely Tink of Pickled Beef. (Visit her if you'd like to join us and sacrifice your life lol)! The words for this week were "Lean" and "3" (three): Had to hit the archives a little as I have been super-duper busy... but still hope you like. Angel leaning on the tomb in which it guards Broken piece still appears to be leaning Mr. J leans on the escalator behind a (quite lean) wax figure of Sophia Loren (or is he in Front of her?) Wall mural of a 3-tier Fountain Three Siblings Three Very Different Personalities Three Silos in grassy green field There you go! Also note that I had 3 examples of each word... hehe I'm the clever one. ;) More issues beckon... will be back later!
