Candid Camera

Mark picked up his phone and said smile. 
So I did. Sort of.


Mark has recently learned how to take photos with his phone. Now I have to be careful, he could be around every corner. I've actually had two busy, for me, days. I was out of the house for several hours on Monday, PT and other things. Yesterday we had appliance delivery in the morning. A funeral in the afternoon, a corporate client of Mark's, for over fifty years. He was 97 and a very good man, one  that I knew and liked. So, that's what I have been doing.

It's a sunny, mild day. We are hoping some rain happens soon. It's very dry. Today will be back to usual for both of us. I need to ease into this peopling slowly.

  3. Sandra, you look wonderful, you look cute!
    I am going to try and make Swedish flat bread again today.( I made some month or so ago) I took notes from my last attempt to improve the bread this time. It is really torturous to wait for the dough to rise.
    Take Care,
    Kaye

    1. I agree, Shirley. I feel more connected when I can visualize the person on the other end of the keyboard.

  11. You look so good! I was looking through my photos when I couldn't fall asleep last night and realized that we didn't take a picture - if I'd known Mark couple operate the camera, I'd have had him take one!

  16. Aww I love the photo of you! A new appliance sounds exciting. What did you end up getting? My mind is on home projects these days because we are finally going to have our kitchen cabinets refaced. Yay! Hope you have a great rest of your week!

  19. Mark took a lovely photo of you, thank you Mark. It's so nice to see you Sandra :)

    I am very sorry about his colleague passing away. Sounds like he lived a good long life but always sad to have to say goodbye.
