The new challenges are up over at Category Stories and Scrap Mojo. Come play along. There are fabulous prizes to be had!
Here's Category Stories, "Stuck in a Moment." I have this old Fenton aqua hobnail vase that was my Granny's. Every time I see Ranunculus they remind me of her because they were some of her favorite flowers. I always smile when I see them in her vase, and I miss her so much, too. She was the best!!!
and I redid the picture in a 1960's tint and only one picture...which do you like better?
Here's my Scrap Mojo, the prompt is "Desperate Times Call for Desperate Measures." How has the economy affected you? Scrap about it. The second part is to use something square or recycled.
Then this one the other day just for fun. "I never met a cotton candy I didn't like..."
Then today we took a walk through Polanco, a neighborhood in Mexico City. We met a friend from the US embassy for brunch at his house (lasts for 4 hours here, even if you are American you start to adopt the Mexican lifestyle of LONG brunches, lunches and meetings). He has 3 other US Embassy employees there, so it neat to hear where they're from, what they do, etc.
We walked to Lincoln Park about 10 blocks from our friend's house. It was busy and there were vendors of all kinds. We sat under a large tree on a stone bench drinking iced coffees and people-watched for a bit.

Tonight we made a yummy dinner with a dijon mustard, raspberry vinegar and brown sugar marinade (over chicken)my friend Chandra gave me years ago. Accompanied with wild rice and a green salad, a delicious way to end a good day!!
How about you? How was your weekend?
