Trees on Tuesday 02.24.2015

Saw these on Twitter. Breathtaking!

The World's Most Ancient Trees

Shifting Days - Monday edition

Because I forgot to post "Pinterest Sunday" yesterday, I'm giving the link today:

Fran's Pinterest Board "Canine Inspiration"

So much wisdom and happiness and CUTEness on this board!

#LoveYourPet Day

I thought #LoveYourPet Day was today, but it was yesterday. I'm still going to show off these pictures of Zing. Talk about expressive! We love this goofy little guy every single day.

 

Fran-tic Friday

Fran-tic Friday is a miscellaneous, unrelated mish-mash post with a high probablity of backdating.

I saw a great link today:

Ten Famous-People with Autism

This is why I wanted to share it:

James Durbin, American singer and guitarist was diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome when he was 10 years old. A finalist on the tenth season of American Idol, he says that he does not see his diagnosis as a disability. In fact, he feels that it gives him somewhat of an edge over normal people.

Two more submissions are going out tonight: one short story and three poems. I forgot about the "regular" poem I wrote a while back, so I'm submitting it with two tanka poems for one of the entries.  :)

The moon tonight is waxing crescent, 3 percent illumination. It has a tiny star friend. Couldn't resist this pic. Even at night, still in the light.

#ThrowbackThursday

I really love #tbt!

I mentioned these things when I posted the top picture on FB:
Metal tray on the high chair
Bulletin board with my colored masterpieces
Wood paneling
My mom's hair


Other thoughts from either/both photos:
I wonder how old LJ (a/k/a my younger sister) is. If she's 8 or 9 months, it'd be Christmas time or early January.
I like how in the first picture you can't see the door on the right, but in the second one you can. It shows how small the kitchen/dining room  actually was.
I'm fairly certain I see an ashtray on the table. It's round.
I definitely see a yellow butter tub, a half gallon of milk, and a Tupperware cup with a straw.
In the second picture, I love my little hands. Caroline's hands looked like that when she was younger.

Tomorrow is #Friday. And not one day too soon :)

CNBC vs. USA

Tuned in to USA Network to watch Westminster. Imagine my delight when WWE "Raw" was on instead. I searched my program listings, which brought up USA's showing of Night 1 that will air tomorrow at 8:00 a.m.  NOT tonight on the REAL Night 1.

Bitched about it on FB, and a friend let me know it was live on CNBC. When I looked at the listing for that channel, it was titled "The 139th Westminster......."  Who knew I should've searched "The" instead of "Westminster."

I always thought USA had the exclusive on the dog show.

At least I won't miss the sporting group like I did last year. I already have everything set to record the first run of Night 2, and both nights on the repeat showings.  Just in case. ;)

Love Day 2015

Please have a look at my Pinterest board called

I Heart This 

These were inside the card that Caroline made me. How creative is that girl of mine? Hand-drawn Valentine confetti :)

Happy Valentine's Day to me. If you like dark chocolate but you've not tried this combination of flavors, you have to eat a piece as soon as possible. You'll thank me. Announcement:  I don't care about the fat, sodium, or other unhealthy ingredients. Bottom line: it's chocolate on Love Day.  Let me live!!
