I finally figured out how to change the post editor, so hopefully this makes it a little easier to read.


November 9

I know that I've taken lots of sunrises so far, but this one was really pretty. By far the best one yet.

November 10

This is my current book I'm reading. Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll.

November 11

Now that it gets darker earlier, the sun sets on my way home from work. This is over the Owens Corning world head quarters along the Maumee River.
November 12

This was another day of no clouds and sunny. This is a new boat dock area added to the future Marine District Project. Eventually there will be apartments, shopping areas, etc to this area.
November 13

I wanted to take some pictures around Promenade Park along the Maumee River. There is a chain that runs along the river. There are lots more photo ops so I may be going back when there's snow.
November 14

I was on my wa home from the library and saw that downtown Sylvania was decorated for the holidays. I was stopped at the light when I took this.
November 15

All along downtown Sylvania are these horse posts. Years ago, that's where people used to tie up their horses when they vistied. I took lots of pictures there of the holiday decorations and likes this one best.
 November 16

I was on my way home from the grocery store and saw this. When they were filling up their gas tank, they must have set the drink on the back. It fell off as soon as they turned the corner onto the road.

I wanted to do a theme day of the week. So I choose doorway Wednesdays. I saw this idea on another blog. So each Wednesday, I'm going to take a picture of different doors I see.

 November 17

I kept seeing a church steeple when I would leave downtown Toledo. I decided to see where it was. These are the main doors to the Historic Church of Saint Patrick. I've heard it on the news all the time but never knew where it was. Now I do. I didn't try to get inside. I hear it is really pretty.
 November 18

This is my bingo bag, yup N'Sync. I've been playing bingo for a few years now. One day I was at Toys R Us and saw this in the clearance rack for a $1. How could you go wrong with an N'Sync lunch box turned bingo bag.
 November 19

My two friends and I went to a local sports bar/pizza restaurant. The pizza was good, but the dessert was even better. They have bread balls which balls of bread with cheese on top. These are the dessert balls. Dough with chocolate mousse filling and on top, drizzled with chocolate sauce and a scoop of vanilla ice cream in the middle. They were so good.
 November 20

This is one of the old buildings in the warehouse district in Toledo. I thought it was fun with the pink walls and mint green doors.
 November 21

The makers of Bananagrmas made Pairs in Pears. This is a game where you build pairs of words. It's pretty fun.
 November 22

My mom and I went to see New Moon. In the theater they have Alice in Wonderland movie posters. I can't wait until March 5 to see it.

November 8
I was just hanging out at home. Did I mention, I like fun socks.
November 7
My cousin came to visit from Utah. That's her in the Vikings sweatshirt. I haven't seen her in a while. It was a nice day to get the family together for a cookout. These are my cousins on my mom's side, minus the boys. That's ok, girls are better anyway.

November 6

We didn't much going on, it was a nice night and a fire sounded fun.

November 5
I was sitting in traffic on my way home from work trying to decide what I wanted for my photo of the day. I thought, I wonder if my wedding band fits around the buttons on my steering wheel. Guess what, it does. My wedding band on the band button, get it? It make me chuckle a little.

November 4
I was stuck in traffic on the expressway due to an accident. So why not snap some pics of the sun setting.

November 3
This was one of the first hard frosts of the season. I'm sure many more are to come.

November 2
The time change sucks. The sun sets so early now. This was taken about around 5:30.

It's been too long!

November 1

I bought these 2 prints from a local art fair a year and a half ago. I finally got around to getting frames and hanging them on the wall. They're both cafe pictures.


October 31

We went to an 80s theme Halloween party. I got my costume on ebay. Ross was Orko from He-Man.

October 30

My friend Patty gets me a Halloween treat bag each year. This year she got me this little blue man. You wind him up and he sways back and forth and "dances."

October 29

Our mailboxes

October 28

The outdoor lanterns had just come in and were glowing a nice orange. The color didn't come out so well on the color photo. I think this one in sepia looks kind of cool.

October 27

Yup, tis the fall season. Luckily this was at the local park near our apartment and not our yard.

October 26

These are our pumpkins this year. Ross did the left and middle ones, I did the right one.


October 25
I went to a baby shower for Ross's cousin. These were the table decorations and are so cute.

October 24
My friend Rachel and I at her Halloween party.

October 23
This is my pumpkin I carved this year. The pattern name is Hammy.

October 22
The wild sunflowers are falling ill to the fall weather.

October 21
My friend game me this Halloween card. It's a movable skeleton.

October 20
Today is Ross's 29th birthday. I treated him to dinner at Red Lobster. He loves that place. He's enjoying a yummy b-day drink.

October 19
On the way home, I notices that the sun was making little rainbows in the sky with the clouds.
October 18
We went to a Toledo Walleye hockey game opening weekend. This was a Sunday game. They won about 40 seconds into over time.
