Maybe mine. Maybe yours.

Day 192...Evoking Memories...:)
Day 192
I've heard many people say, many times, that anything can bring on a memory...
a smell, a taste, the feel of something...anything...
Well, today, for me it was fried fish!
I was flooded with memories of eating fried fish every summer, all the time!
Multiple times a week!
I learned at a young age, before filleting fish was the thing to do,
how to de-bone my crappy and catfish with the best of them!
I never knew when I was younger that someday having
fresh fish to fry would be such a special treat.
fresh fish to fry would be such a special treat.
I don't have anyone in my life who fishes and brings it to me to fry anymore...
When I became an adult my Dad would bring it to me and we'd have a big fish fry!
We'd have the fish (and Hushpuppies sometimes,) corn on the cob
and sliced tomatoes from dads garden...

Just like the meal I fixed tonight thanks to one of my husbands co-workers
who gave us the fish...
who gave us the fish...
It brought back sooo many memories...
I took those times for granted, never thinking in a million years that you could miss some
insignificant thing like a childhood meal so much...
I miss you Daddy
Unfortunately, my photo does NOT do this meal justice
It was wonderful!
Day 191...Sunflowers Galore!
Day 191
A short little trip out West to the Tonganoxie/Lawrence area
will get you to here! What a view!
will get you to here! What a view!
Sadly, they don't last long...especially with the hot summer weather this year!
The Sunflowers bloomed nearly a month early and grew taller than normal
but are wilting faster than normal due to the heat... :(
Hopefully, anyone who loves the flowers has made their way out to see them!
Day 190...Smiling Faces :)
Day 190
Had a really fun day today with good friends and new acquaintances!
Baby showers are always fun!
While I had my camera up to my face this little guy LITERALLY
walked right up in front of the lens...
Good thing for auto-focus!
He was adorable and smiled no matter where he was in the room whenever he saw me pick up my camera...
except when we wanted him to...now isn't that typical!!!
His Auntie Sarah is the new Mommy to be
I know she's anxious for her very own baby boy to arrive!!
Day 189...Yellow Flowers & Duckies!
Day 189
It's amazing what one small inch of rain can do.
Although we need so much more, my flowers look sooo alive!
Everything seems so refreshed...
for today anyway.
