RDP Sunday – Sleep
Here is my idea of peaceful sleep: my head in someone’s lap, feeling secure and safe, and not a worry to keep me awake. My doglets, Radar and Sergio, have their sleep perfected. Radar is the one at the top, and Sergio is the larger one.
Switzerland Mountains
I was delighted to see the challenge from Photo by Johnbo for lens artists photo challenge with the prompt of Mountains. I took some interesting shots while in Switzerland this spring, and am glad to share them.

Day of the Dead–Last Supper
It’s Day of the Dead time, celebrated in Mexico, on November 1-2, honoring those loved ones who have passed. I recommend you watch or rewatch the fabulous movie Coco, a delightful illustration of this annual time of remembrance and its meaning. One store in town had this wonderful depiction of the deceased having a meal,… Continue reading Day of the Dead–Last Supper
My Husband Died Today
“My husband just died,” she announced when we met on the street. The confused look she gave me was sad, and her voice sounded perplexed. After a hug, she shook her head and lamented, “I don’t know how I feel.” Her husband had dementia for 20 years, and had succumbed to a respiratory infection while… Continue reading My Husband Died Today
Festival of Leaves
Autumn in San Miguel de Allende isn’t spectacular with changes in the foliage, but in southeastern Oklahoma leaves do change, color bursts from the hills, and brilliance dots shorelines.

Old School
My Granddad was ‘old school’. I’m talking very old school. He was born in Georgia two years after the Civil War, on land that is now part of the National Park Service’s Chickamauga Battlefield, located just south of Chattanooga, TN. It was a short battle in September of 1863, but a significant one for the… Continue reading Old School
Instant Needs
Instant gratification seems to be a growing need I am buying into, and that is undermining my sanity. When I get a phone call or an email or a text or a knock on the door, I am motivated to answer immediately. Actually, I’m more than motivated, something inside me says I am required to drop… Continue reading Instant Needs
FOTD
Haven’t a clue what flower this is, but I love the velvety look of it. This is my contribution to today’s Flower of the Day Photo Challenge. https://ceenphotography.com/2022/10/09/fotd-october-10-side-view-of-a-dahlia/.
Parades and Celebrations
It’s been a week of celebrations in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. And in San Miguel, a celebration always includes parades, fireworks, crowds, color, and family gatherings. This year was no exception after two years of skipping all the festivities except firecrackers. Mexicans have a ‘thing’ about loud bangers set off in the middle of… Continue reading Parades and Celebrations
