Patience and Experience

RDP Tuesday: PATIENCE

Patience
Sebald Beham1540

My Great Grandmother ( six times removed ) was named Experience and her sister who died when she was only five years old was named Patience.

Their Father’s name was Lancelot and his wife was named Eve.

The name ” Patience ” shows up often in our family tree but not so much ” Experience “.

If you knew the women in my family, you’d think that was funny too.

Instead of a quote, I am going to post a picture because

sometimes one picture is indeed worth a thousand hellacious words.

Thoughts On Being Blue

RDP Friday: BLUE

I am a person who enjoys dark, cloudy skies and the deep rich colors of the fall- reds, orange, green and the color black and every shade of it that lives in that particular household.

But I also love the color blue, it calms my brain when I am anxious, I can taste it when I am outside and take a deep breath ( it tastes like raspberries just before they get mushy and inedible ).

Blue is a friendly color, it’s soft and sturdy , it’s reassuring. When blue talks it sounds like crickets.

Blue is a friendly color, until as the saying goes, it isn’t:

The ice-choked lagoon called Jökulsárlón formed in the 1920s when part of the massive Vatnajökull glacier began to pull away from the salt water of the Atlantic Ocean on Iceland’s southeastern coast. The depression left in the land gradually filled with melting ice, and by 1934, Iceland had a new glacial lagoon. As other glaciers in the icefield calve, hunks of ice plunge into Jökulsárlón, reflecting the blue water and creating a breathtaking scene popular with visitors to the nearby Vatnajökull National Park.

The 155 Challenge

Judy Dykstra-Brown has come up with a weekly prompt that she calls “The Numbers Game.” This week’s number is 155. To play along, we need to go to our media/photo file and type that number into the search bar. Then post a selection of the photos we find under that number and include a link to our post back to Judy’s Numbers Game post of the week.

Some of these were pictures I took ( or was in ) and others are just cool things I found on the internet..
