Today, son Cameron is taking the test for his driving lesson at at the DMV in Bridgeport (these days, the driver's license seems to occur at a later age than for me who just couldn't wait for mine at age 16 a few decades ago :).
Yet here, he looks as if he were ready to drive as he handles a set of keys at age 8...actually, on my keychain is a magnet that operated the magnetic door opener and wheelchair lift switches that were hidden behind the taillight lens.
He looks rather self-assured and confident standing amid the shadows back then. Good luck Cam with those humorless DMV road testing personnel in mom's Hyundai...
Edit: Patti called at 10:46 EST (GMT-4:00) indicated that he passed :) Although the humorless DMV tester said that Patti needs new tires on the Hyundai :(
Ruby Tuesday Too allows us to continue our quest of finding a lot or a little red in any setting.
Here it is the soft pinkish color combined with the red sneakers to meet the theme with a hint of cute for emphasis :)
The year is 1996, the month July, daughter Allegra and two cousins at a family function. Cute may be an understatement here, but the now grown trio might prefer that term to adorable these days. The quest for rubies knows no limitations...
Toby's fun Whimsical Windows/Delirious Doors is back, and a late family feline, Rigby, does like most cats - they project an aura of bravery...when safely behind two layer of glass that is. We humor them as this confidence is so often shaken when they her a knock on the door. So the windows here feature a cat that offers a disarming combination of strength, bravura and cute...
Straight out of the Camera - SOOC -is back and I revert to a print from 1992 and then nineteen-month old son Cameron. At a family event at the home of my sister, he decided to introduce himself to her cat Tiger, a very stand-offish being as I recall. Here the cat seems very accepting of the small person so perhaps I had guessed wrong about Tiger...or the cat liked small people better than big ones. The feline would not say, alas...
Shadow Shot Sunday 2 returns, as do I. Last Saturday was an event that Patti and I attended: the CT (bike) Challenge. Over 1000 bicyclists participated by riding courses from 10-180 miles (16-290 km) to raise funds for their cancer survivorship programs. And they have been very helpful to Patti as she is in a weekly exercise program for breast cancer survivors. It was a beautiful day for all who rode, the BBQ for all (our post) was plentiful and most importantly, the feelings of affirmation for cancer survivors and their supporters.
And of course under the blue sky and sun were shadows. Nobody could ask for more! See Patti's NH Register blog postand...I was able to compile Patti's photos in the following slideshow - of a very affirmative day :)
