2015 - 365 Project. Day 197, July 16

365 Project. Day 197, July 16: Two-fer as a TBT picture! Super hard to get a good clear shot of this, but removing it from the frame and scanning it was too daunting. Jennifer was six in this picture. Pretty sure this spawned (pun intended) her obsession with mermaids. — with Jennifer Philbin.

2015 - 365 Project. Day 196, July 15

365 Project. Day 196, July 15: There are some things in life that make me feel like a kid again, no matter how old I am. Off the top of my head: 
- going to Disneyland 
- eating a popsicle bought from the ice cream truck
- cleaning a horse corral
- And THIS - driving through a car wash.

And yes, I see that the carwash has red hair too...

2015 - 365 Project. Day 195, July 14

365 Project. Day 195, July 14: today, Jennifer had a Champinellies coaching session ths afernoon in Long Beach with Lynne Smith. I took the last dog I'll ever own to Rosie's Dog Beach. He had fun, when he wasn't peeing on our bag, trying to hump other dogs, finding inevitable evil things to eat in the sand, and refusing to drink the fresh water I brought for him because he was certain that I was trying to kill him with salt water. Vicki Epsteintrekked out to join us for a bit! We discussed how great it is to have cats. I included the last couple shots of him drying in the sun and snuggled in the back seat of the car, because I suppose there are some people who would find this cute.

2015 - 365 Project. Day 194, July 13

365 Project. Day 194, July 13: As I've said before, I simply can't knock every single one of these out of the park. So I'll share two things I really DISLIKE about this 365 photo project. The first is having to number my days. Life goes more and more quickly, the older I get. Counting each day as it hurtles past just makes time seem to fly even more quickly. Second, this project pretty much has to be on my mind several times a day, so that I don't have to settle for a less-than-worthy photo. For today, I'm making do with showing the darling high school grad who sets up and takes down our chorus risers. He is totally rocking a man-bun, and he's such a sweet guy. I should have just asked him to pose, but I chickened out.

2015 - 365 Project. Day 193, July 12

365 Project. Day 193, July 12: So, when one is super, SUPER tired, Shakespeare sounds like "Blah blah blah, Ginger". Still... wine, dinner, cookies & good company, and NO BUGS. Can I get a hollah for Southern California summer outdoor evenings? — with AnneMarie Lachance-Sureau and Diana Barber at Hesse Park.
