Selfies in Seattle Challenge

14 Replies

I am meeting a challenge to post a selfie..and wondering if I’ll be brave enough to post one I don’t like.  Okay, off to the hunt.  Brb.

Not a selfie and not taken in Seattle, but a zippy title, no?  This is a shot someone took of me at my all-school reunion a week ago. Why is it that it is that the lips that get thinner  with age and not the hips or arms?

Okay, now I challenge all of you to post a photo taken within the past few weeks. You can call it a selfie even if you don’t have one of those arm-extension dealies or a tripod and timed-release camera.  It is a selfie if it is of yourself only, no matter who took it–taken within the past two weeks. Please link to my page via the comments so I can see that you’ve answered the challenge.

This post was done in honor of the glittering one.  See her selfie here:

The Long and the Short of It

Here are two very nice people from my past with whom I became reacquainted at my all class reunion last week.  I love this photo. She was actually a year ahead of him in school and they hadn’t seen each other in more that 50 years.  I talked Gordon into going to the reunion and from the looks of it both he and his wife Judy had a great time.  He is a gentle giant who bakes peach pies with his granddaughter and who doesn’t remember how he used to tease us shy Freshman girls when he was a mighty senior basketball star.

Happy Birthday, Duckie


High Cholesterol

Bake the pies and roast the beast.
Call your friends from west and east.
They’ll enjoy the food, at least,
as from sparse greens my meal is pieced.
For I fear my life’s long feast
has, by necessity, now ceased!

Murdo Snaps

Leave a reply

Since my malfunctioning camera coincided with my short photographic attention span due to an overactive urge to chat during my recent trip home to the town I grew up in in South Dakota, you might want to see another blogger’s version of the All-School Reunion and 100th anniversary of the county I grew up in.  Her blog, entitled “Murdo Girl” is all about growing up in our tiny town that is shrinking year by year.  In the 50 years since I graduated, the high school has shrunk from 100 students to 49, even though it has gone from being a town school to  a county-wide school.

Go here: https://kipandmary.wordpress.com/2016/07/18/murdo-girl-the-reunion-part-1/
to read Mary’s account of the festivities.  I might add that it is meant to be tongue-in-cheek.  I hope!!!
