SkyWatch Friday

Disneyland ~ Anaheim, California

While visiting the park last week, I looked up and noticed the parade float toppers were Mickey and Minnie inflatables. Which both made for a nearly irresistible photo opportunity given the deliciously cloudy sky as a back drop. And when the Mickey shaped confetti started to fall, I clicked away at furious speed, capturing the classic Matterhorn Mountain and even a little glimpse of Tinker Bells fly-line in the sky. And I giggled when I saw the final photo; it looks like Mickey has his arms stretched out to see if he can catch some of the celebration…..or he is giving the sky a great big hug.

Association Quote of the Day

"Respect even the little things, for they can become big problems when you aren’t looking."   This photo was taken by The Association’s roving reporter (yeah. fine. He’s my brother.) outside a local drugstore yesterday. Seems this poor driver kinda misjudged the curb…and tried to just drive over this little rock. I guess the rock [...]

Its 1976 all over again.

What the heck? There is a SHOT for the SWINE FLU? Um, where is that shot now? Its all Dottie’s fault. And in case you are worried about me and my PIG raising children. I have been reassured that, since my little piggy was breed, born and raised in Fresno (no where near Mexico) we [...]

Only the trees are happy.

As a writer, or any artist for that matter, I grew up with dreams of making a career and marking it with accomplishments which would legitimize my choice. One of those dreams was to become a writer for a major newspaper. Recently I have had the opportunity to write some pieces for The Orange County [...]

Mr. Literal strikes again….

  "Hey Honey! I just thought of the next big thing! HAND SOAP. Only they will actually be HANDS…. Get it?" . . Whoa. This is off the creep-o-meter scale for me. Especially since I expect them to come out with a HAND towel any day now. And I hear a FOOT board is in [...]

AdTalk: All wrapped up.

It was Jill’s mad Saran Wrap skills that drove Mike Reynold’s crazy. He came to the church picnic early just to watch her in action. This made Jill glad, even though she thought Mike was a little clingy. They have been married for 20 years now, and still know how to keep it fresh.   [...]

  Before you get ready to leave a comment about me over-doing the color saturation on this photo- let me save you the trouble. This photo is UNEDITED. Those are the actual colors; neon yellow pants, turquoise laces, purple shirt and lime green glasses. This is what Jack wore to school today. And he would [...]

If my life was one big fantasy I would ride a magical rainbow on the back of my pink unicorn to endless streets filled with antique stores. Yeah- you heard me…I am an antique freak. You wanna make something of it? Anyway…I bring to The Association today a trio of photos found within the first [...]

Don’t tell Paul Giamatti*. But I drank a Merlot. And I liked it.

Over the weekend we invited a few friends over for a wine tasting party. And thankfully this was a kid-free event since my mom took the boys for a sleep-over (thanks mom). Everyone brought a wine, and all of them were placed in brown bags and numbered. On the placemats (craft paper) each person numbered [...]
