Published on Monday, October 29, 2012 by Katherine Downtown Norfolk is flooded.  The winds are starting to kick in.  I just don’t think it wise to swim my way to The City for a photo op! My next best choice involves Fake Barbie, some foil and many prayers for those in Sandy’s path.  Especially for those in THE city.  America’s most well known city.  The city that many of my family and best bloggers live in...

Autumn 29. The city 30. Blackout Today, Autumn… check.  Now comes the problem.

Published on Friday, October 26, 2012 by Katherine When I let the dogs out early this morning, I was stunned to find today’s challenge word just under my feet.  It was a brand new, dew-covered crop of mushrooms in the shape of a heart.  I was stunned by their beauty. When I showed my daughter the picture, she said it did not look like a heart at all.  My co-worker didn’t see it either.  Neither did my oldest ...

Published on Thursday, October 25, 2012 by Katherine Do you ever have the feeling you are being watched? For those of you waiting to hear more about Fake Barbie, I am sad to say I REFUSE to give her any attention today.  Because last night I found her at my laptop, about to click on a video that GOOD Fake Barbies do NOT watch.  Shame on you Fake Barbie.  SHAME. I think Fake Barbie simply needs to feel she is in...

Published on Sunday, October 21, 2012 by Katherine Day 21 of the Photo Challenge:  “Broken” Introducing Moon! A few years ago I rescued a deaf Dalmatian, Emma.  Many people who own deaf dogs get a second for companionship.  Emma is enough of a handful that I never actively looked for another.  I always told my daughter, “If a dog happened to fall in to our lap, I just might consider adopting it.” An...

Published on Saturday, October 20, 2012 by Katherine Alas, once she realized she was not a brand name Barbie, she knew all hope was gone.  There was nothing left to do but nail herself to a tree, desperately holding on to her Qwerty “Q.” As I came upon this gruesome sight I knew I had my photo challenge word for the day: Nails. As I missed "Steel" because of our trip last night, I will be enjoying your "Nails" ...
