I save old photos.

I really like this photo. I call them sisters, 

but no words or dates to verify on this old photo.

Which sister is the older?

What are their personalities? Is one dominant?

Is one shy or direct?

What are their names? I guessed Prudence and Penelope?

But, which is which? And, their age?

I chose this image for the lead art. Do you agree?

 

A few of you checked on me yesterday because my blog was short.
Thank you for caring and commenting, I really do love comments.

And so, some leftover photos from Sunday morning ... 
while still at the house on the hill. Everything was quiet.

They have a beautiful white leather couch in their living room.
They found furry evidence that it was a popular spot, so
they spread a white furry blanket to catch the hair. 
I sat in the middle and both Granddogs sat on either side. 
I put on tennis on tv from the Australian Open.  
Zoey and I watched, Laker slept.

A little later we three went out on the patio.
I sat with my head way back in an armchair and saw this.

Life is good.

Today included a trip to Kaiser's Urgent Care.

I  gave in and got a Rx for cephlexin to battle infection.

I wisely took my new book to fill in the inevitable waits.

So many of you told me I would love it and, you're right, I do.

I love the way she writes, lyrical is what comes to mind? 

"Barclay Cove served its religion hard-boiled and deep-fried."

I'm only one third into it, but look forward to it all.

From there, I drove to Anaheim Hills to meet Ann at BJ's Grill. 

I had only had orange juice, so I was hungry. 

After lunch, we went to see the new movie, "The Farewell".

The winner of the Sundance Film Festival it is described as
"A funny, emotionally intricate and deeply moving tale of severed connections and renewed family ties." A 2 1/2 minute trailer here.

We were out at 3:30 and I drove to the house on the hill.

WonderWoman had asked me to puppy-sit 4 - 10 pm, I said, sure.

I took photos during my six hour stay, to share with you.

Zoey was glad to get out of her kennel and play.

Laker watched as she pulled out special toys.

I caught the sunset as it dropped.

In a hurry to get somewhere else?

After playing and eating, she finally rests a bit.

I watched some sports.

Everything looks better on their big screen.

Zoey, when in the right mood, enjoys watching TV. 

Nature programs like the Serenghetti are her favorites.

She even talks to the animals, trying to warn them.

Not tonight.

Day 1083: My Wimbledon tradition ...

21, collages, digitally blended

No, I have never been to Wimbledon, but ...

I feel like I have.

When I lived in Australia, ages 11 - 15, tennis was required.

There were other requirements too, but I'll save them for later.

So tennis attire, lessons and practice were on my docket. 

I was never skilled, but I developed ...

a real appreciation for those who are.

Thus Wimbledon. 

I watch the finals faithfully every year, as if they need me.

So today, I write a dozen things ...

I love about Wimbledon:

1. Manicured everything! 

 

2. The decorum, a grand stateliness.

3. The manners, more than other venues, in my opinion.

4. The tv cameras shrouded in green, so as not distract.

5. The lithe, speedy, disciplined ball boys & girls.

6. The cool uniformed linesmen and judges.

7. The announcer saying just "Please" to quiet slight noise.

8. The obvious fitness, agility & strength of competitors.

9. The way the competitors handle struggling with ...

a point, a match, a set, crowd reaction, their temper.

10. Wimbledon allows the players to shower 

after the final match, before the presentations.

11. Watching for graciousness in winning as well as losing.

12. Seeing well behaved McEnroe brothers in suits, commenting.

It's my July tradition.

A smile for Tuesday ...
