Saturday Photo Scavenger Hunt

THEME: PARTY

Here is Caleb opening all his presents with his Daddy at his 1 year birthday party back in July. It is amazing how much he has grown in only 7 months.

THEME: OLD-FASHIONED

WOW!! It has been way too long since I've done the Photo Hunt. Sorry for my absence. But, I am ready to be joining everyone each week. Here is my "Old-Fashioned" pick for this week.


I know my husband will just love me for this one. ;-) This is a picture of him receiving his very first Personal Computer for Christmas. The times and computers sure have changed, haven't they? Check out those clothes!! Hee hee! I Love You, Honey!

THEME: HOT

Apparently, Eowyn just wasn't hot enough this evening. She is usually pretty skittish when it comes to cuddling on the couch and any such incident is quite a treasure. She usually wants to stay on the floor or on her beanbag. I guess she was feeling extra cuddly and cozy.

THEME: CLASSIC


Here is my CLASSIC Harley Dude.
Cute, huh?!

THEME: PINK

This beautiful flower was located in Chris' Grandmother's yard in Poland. It is just one of many, many more. I was in awe of how beautiful her garden was.

THEME: CURVY


I wish I could take credit for taking this picture. A very good friend of ours went on a teaching mission trip to Zambia and he took this picture during a day off when he went on a safari. Cool, huh?

THEME: ORIGINAL

This ORIGINAL photo was taken in a small restaurant down in a basement near the city square of Krakow, Poland. The Pierogis were absolutely delicious and were actually served on a yummy bread plate. The best part was that this meal was super cheap when converted to American Dollars.

I dare anyone in the Photo Hunt to also have a picture like this. If you do...leave a comment!

THEME: MUSIC

Chris loves to piddle on his piano as a way to relax after work and Caleb loves to play along. Many times it is only the piano that will calm Caleb down when he is tired or frustrated. Chris will place Caleb on his lap or beside him on the bench and Caleb bangs away. It is music to a Mommy's ears.

THEME: HAPPY

Daffodils are by far my FAVORITE flower and they make me very happy. Doesn't this flower look so happy?!

THEME: TWO

I was fascinated by the prevalence of nuns and monks in Poland. I know there are plenty of nuns and monks in the U.S. of A. but they don't seem to wear the same garb. In Poland they where the traditional habits and robes. Very cool!

THEME: ROW

I couldn't resist. I have three (or more) photos for this week. But, they are all things "in a row." The common theme is that they were all taken during our trip to Poland.

This picture was taken in the little grocery store just down the road from where we stayed. Most people in Poland grow their own vegetables. So, the grocery store had a very small produce section but there was an entire aisle dedicated to seeds.

Same store, but in the bread aisle. All that bread was baked fresh for that day. Oh, how I loved being able to walk down the road and buy fresh bread. I think eating all that lovely bread is what made me really pick up my bread baking and make an effort to get better at it. I have a very happy family for it too.

Finally, I took this picture of these traditional musicians just outside the city gate to Krakow. They played well. I loved listening to all the different musicians that were performing on the streets.

Okay, one more picture. Speaking of street musicians. I just had to post this picture. I saw these "not so traditional musicians" at the same spot at the city gate of Krakow, POLAND that same day, but in the evening. They are standing in a row, right?

Theme: Funky

I had a hard time with the Photo Hunt this week. How do you define 'Funky?'

Don't ask me how Caleb could be sleeping in this position.

Theme: Tiny

This adorable dog is named TINY. She is a Rat Terrier/Jack Russell Terrier Mix and belongs to my In-Laws. She was a "replacement" when Chris went off to college and she has been a family member ever since. She loves to play with our dog, Eowyn, and does especially well with Caleb. It almost seems like she thinks Caleb is her pup. The above picture was taken years ago by my sister-in-law when Tiny had a lot more spunk. The picture below was taken a couple of weeks ago when we were dog-sitting her at our house. That is pretty much what she does these days. ;-)

Theme: Shadow(s)

I took this picture during our trip to Auschwitz-Birkenau. It is right inside the main gate (see left) which is casting the shadow. I was touched by the flowers left on the cart (see right). You can see how the train would pull in right here and then the people would be "selected" further down the way and they would either go to the right to work or to the left to go straight to the gas chambers and crematorium. So much evil was done here and that will forever cast a shadow on the beautiful country of Poland.

Theme: Sweet

Here is Caleb eating one of the cookies that his Great-Grandmother bought him while we were in Poland. Oh course, he thought they were so sweet. The chair he is sitting in was his Great-Grandfather's favorite chair. Unfortunately, Great Grandpa didn't live long enough to meet Caleb, but we thought about him every time Caleb ate his cookie in that chair.

Theme: Shiny

I couldn't resist snapping this picture of Eowyn on her pillow in our utility room. The sun streams in every morning for about 30 minutes and Eowyn is always on her pillow for the full duration. She is enjoying the summer especially as the sun is that much stronger. I kept calling her name trying to see if I could break the spell but all Eowyn would do is barely open one eye and give me that "leave me alone" look. "Okay, Baby...enjoy that warm, shiny sun."
