scattered saturday

Happy Saturday!

I'm joining Tanya - a little late - for Willy Nilly Friday 5

1. When I arrived home from work on Thursday - the photobook I designed for
Laura and Jeff's wedding had arrived  :-)




- yeah, awsome...
To give my daily step count a boost, I've started getting off the subway a mile from my office.
- not a terrible way to start the day.



3. My daughters gave me a Book of the Month membership for my birthday.
Awesome gift, girls!
I just finished my September selection, A Gentleman in Moscow - so beautifully written!

4. If you enjoy reading current fiction, please join me on Goodreads
- disclaimer -
my ambivalence towards social media makes me a pretty unreliable "friend"
(how's that for an invitation?)

5. Karen was a common name in my generation.
Maybe not so much anymore...



That's it for me - I hope you enjoy your weekend!

chain link - city style


Hi!
So - is blogging kind of like riding a bike?
- because, I'm feeling like I've pretty much forgotten everything
- or maybe everything has changed
-or maybe...

Anyway - it's been a very long time since my last post -
in a nutshell:
Greg and I moved from our home near the city to a town up the coast a ways (aka Major Upheaval)
I was promoted at work (aka Death of Blog),
and our daughter got married in August (aka Summer of Laura)

But, hey - otherwise life is the same - and we're still heading to Away for the weekends
(well, sporadically...)
So now, I'm not really sure where to begin
- let's see - how about some urban chain link fences


Scenes from my weekday life -
(NO idea what that graffiti means - but I do applaud the colors on this dreary day)


Ah yes - the orange line - I could probably write a sonnet
How do I despise thee? Let me count the ways...

I actually took these photos a few months ago during a lunchtime walk
- and found them sitting on my computer


but I'm dusting off that big girl camera
- and getting back on that bike (so to speak)
- and probably needing to relearn lots and lots of things (my head hurts thinking about it...)
I'm happy to be back, though, and looking forward
to seeing everything that's going on with you!

Have a wonderful day!
