DAY 13 ~ REMINDS YOU OF CHILDHOOD

Meet Zip.  He is my monkey.  He is my friend. :)

He is 35 years old.  If you click on the picture to enlarge it, you can see the "K" I marked on his shoe...  He's mine...  do you feel the love yet?  :)

When I was a little girl I was incredibly in love with the idea of having a chimpanzee.  I REALLY wanted one BAD.  I imagined dressing him up and he would be like my little brother (I think being the baby of 6 really messed with me, lol). 

Well, even though I was a cute kid and had "baby" status...Mom informed me that I would not be able to have a little chimpanzee to dress and feed and love... oh how sad.  Instead, she told me to pick out a special toy from the JC Penney Catalog. 

So I sat at the dining table and thumbed through the pages and almost fell out of my chair when I saw Zip.  He was PERFECT.  At that time, he wore a yellow t-shirt with the name ZIP in red letters, a little red hat, held a banana in his hand, AND if you squeezed his arm, he would squeek!

Mom ordered this gift just for me, and I waited and waited (it wasn't like it is nowadays, no 2 day delivery...AND we lived in England).  One day I came home from school and my Mom sat me down and sang me a song... I wonder if anyone remembers this song??? 

Then she told me to go and look on my bed.  there was Zip... in all his glory! LOL :)

30 Day Photo Challenge ~ Days 8-12

Apparently this is more of a "Challenge" than I thought.  You know what really threw me off?  The sunset photo.  Because of our schedule, I'm usually buttoning down the hatches and getting ready for bed around sunset, lol.  Sooo, since I didn't have one, I just dropped the ball.  But never fear...I'm hear to make up for it, lol.


No sunset though.  You'll have to settle for a "stand-in"...a sunrise taken by my precious hubby! :)

DAY 8 ~ SUNSET (SUNRISE)

My Hubby works beachside in the morning, so he almost always sends me a sunrise photo each day. I love him. :)

DAY 9 ~ FRESH FRUIT

Yum...a handful of fresh blueberries!

DAY 10 ~ ANIMAL

I'm really not sure if she classifies as an "animal"...this is my little girl, Stormie. :)

DAY 11 ~ SILLOUETTE

Is a sillouette the same as a shadow?  Hmm, well, this is it, right or wrong. :)
Hey, how about that alien head????

DAY 12 ~ SUNFLARE

Watering my veggie garden in the morning sunlight.

Have a Beautiful Day!!

30 Day Photo Fun!

I haven't blogged in a while, but when I saw this photo challenge, well, it just looked kinda fun.  So, I'm joining in! :)


Each day in June, there is a specific assignment...pop over here for more info.  Here's the "List"...

Since I'm starting on day 2, I shall "catch up"...shouldn't be too hard..except for the fact that I had to take photo of ME... I do not like to pose for myself. 

JUNE 1 - Self Portrait

I thought about getting all dressed and ready to go somewhere then taking the picture, but threw caution to the wind and just shot myself as I look in the morning... yup.  There I am in all my Morning Glory. :)

JUNE 2 - Your Favorite Shoes

I am not a big "shoe" person.  Don't get me wrong, I LOVE shoes, I try them on a LOT, lol.  But it doesn't make sense for me to buy several shoes when I am a simple kind of gal and really, tennies, sandals and garden boots are all I need.  BUT my sister sent me a gift card for TJ Maxx for Mother's Day..SWEET!  I bought these adorable sandals!  Love them.
