The traffic was bumper-to-bumper and the extra half hour they had given themselves was quickly going away. They were going to be late for the show at this rate.

Home is where I feel at peace and happy. Snuggled here on the couch with Snake is just a wonderful place and one of my favorite ways to wind down before bed. Mmm…

I saw a quote online today that basically said that as a parent you are expected to guide someone else while still trying to figure out what you want to do when you grow up.

When we go to a hotel, it’s always fun to play with the mirrors. This photo was a reflective one that I sent to Snake as a good morning.
Continue reading “D is for Double”B is for Books
Books have been my best friend for as long as I can remember. My mom, who did love to read, could never understand why I’d spend summers reading rather than being outside with the other kids.

“What should I wish for?” He turned to see her holding a dandelion between her fingers.
Continue reading “W is for Wish”D is for Distraction
I try hard to not interrupt Snake while he’s working–until I feel like it’s time for him to take a break. And then I can be so distracting….

Mirrors and candles are some of our favorite props. This one added a vase for a little extra reflection.

“Jess!” I heard my name called down the hall. He sounded frantic and I ran into the bedroom.

“Would you like the check?” he asked as he picked up the empty glass left by her companion. She could tell he was thinking she had been dumped and left with the bill.

It’s Saturday and my wish for you?
Continue reading “W is for Wish”F is for Feet on the Dash
There’s just something about going on a road trip. The music is playing, there are snacks and drinks in the car and you have nothing but time.

“Do you trust me?” I looked at him as I asked the question, waiting for the response.
“Of course,” he replied. “Wait, what are we talking about? I’m not going on that roller coaster again. Ever.”

The woman had been sitting on a bench in front of the painting for over half an hour. She would cock her head one way and the other from time to time, but mainly just sat perfectly still.

There’s nothing quite as wonderful as the feeling of sun on your bare skin. Mmm…
Continue reading “W is for Warmth”M is for May Prompt
Technically, I should make the May prompt about celebrations. Snake’s birthday is the 2nd and Mother’s Day is in the middle of the month, here at least. And while we will be celebrating his birthday in typical Charmer and Snake fashion, I think that I did celebrations not too long ago.

Just pumping up the colors in this picture made the sun and my hair fiery… This was a wonderful trip!
Continue reading “F is for Fiery Sun”J is for Jelly
Her feet hurt and the noise in the enclosed aquarium was getting on her last nerve. They had been planning this date for a month so, of course, it would be the day when the entire place was filled with school field trips.

This is part 2 of A is for Appointment. You can read it here.
The commute to work had been a blur. He’d almost missed the first train because he was running late. His mind had been racing with thoughts of tonight and he ended up missing his stop and having to walk back to the office from the next one.
M is for Mexican Food
A good friend of mine keeps telling me that no one is ever sad eating Mexican food. I sure can’t prove her wrong because it’s one of our favorite things to eat.
Continue reading “M is for Mexican Food”P is for Playing with Fire
Fire can be dangerous, but sometimes it is fun to play with it just a little bit. You never know what the reaction might be…

She had taken her easel and paints to the backyard. The sun hadn’t quite come up over the horizon, but it would soon. It was supposed to be a scorcher with a chance for thunderstorms.
