Well, we’re odd–I mean off–and running with this year-long project. I still need my hand held while uploading a photo, but I’m sure the procedure will eventually stick in my head. I’m a little frustrated I cannot date this 1 November, but I assure my readers, that’s the date the photo was taken!
Sitting at Starbucks last night, with friends who are so special they’re actually family, I glanced at the table and decided on my first official KRMB photo. There were four cups of coffee, three scones and a slice of some sort of yummy blueberry/banana bread. There were three cell phones. Joseph was using his to deal with an adrenaline rush-causing alert from his home’s burglar alarm company. Once the emergency was downgraded to merely an irritant, we added his phone to the table. With very little staging, and another brave use of my camera’s macro setting, I got this fun photo. The rhyme came to me later.
Starbucks, by the way, was just the last stop of many this day. Ginger, Kelly, Joseph and I spent the day fabric-store-hopping and shopping. That may not sound like fun to most people, but for us, it rocks! We had a great time foraging and scouting for beautiful brocades and voluptuous velvets. Ginger had a hugely successful day of finding fabulous stuff. We visited five stores, squeezed in lunch, and by 6 p.m. we were ready for some caffeine, and an excuse to stay off the I-635 parking lot freeway. So, there we were—lattes, snacks and umbilical cords. Thanks for a great day, my friends.
