What's wrong with this picture?

OK, so I don't actually have a picture. But, today when I was out and about I saw something I thought was pretty funny.

Picture this:

The local Subaru dealership parts delivery vehicle is... a Toyota mini-van!

I kid you not! It's true.

I judge you when...

I'm a member of a group on Facebook called "I judge you when you use poor grammar". There are so many photos of examples of poor grammar that they had to create another place for members to post examples of poor grammar. I'll post this photo there but just in case my readers aren't members of that group I thought they'd be entertained here too.

I've been driving by this store on Market Street in Northampton for years and have always thought that something was funny about the sign on the window. It wasn't until today, when I just happened to have my camera with me that I realized what it was.

Old Barns

We live in Hatfield, Massachusetts, in the Connecticut River Valley. Towns on the Connecticut River have some of best soil in the world, including Hatfield, which is famous for its soil, and because of that it's also famous for potatoes and tobacco. There are still plenty of tobacco barns in Hatfield. The tobacco that's grown here is used as cigar wrappers and is known all over the world as some of the best tobacco. Although we don't have tobacco growing in the field across the street from our house there's still an old tobacco barn.
I wandered over there this evening as the sun was setting and the light was hitting the barn just right to capture the texture of the old wood.

Beki & Jason's Wedding

My dear friend, Beki Phinney, married a super fantastic guy, Jason Greenwood on Saturday at the Quidnessett Country Club in North Kingstown, Rhode Island. I've known Beki since she was a toddler (she's 27 now), and we've gotten to be quite good friends over the past few years. The wedding was lovely and perfect "Beki & Jason". Their close friends had some really funny & sweet things to say both during the wedding ceremony (which my husband's cousin's wife, Rev. Sarah Buteux, performed) and reception. I had a really good time and was really happy to be there. (Even if Trevor couldn't be there with me to enjoy the fun).

The Happy Couple met swing dancing and really know how to dance! I was impressed. Beki looked beautiful in her dress and Jason looked dapper in his tux.

CAKE!

The adorable George A. Dole and his father, Andrew Dole (Trevor's cousin) talking with Bob Perry at the reception.


My grandniece, Jillian Grams, was a hit on the dance floor. Here she is dancing to Michael Jackson's "Thriller".

Wedding Gift

Normally the wedding guest brings a gift for that Happy Couple but at the wedding of my dear friend Beki I received a gift of an opened box of wine. Or as I like to call it, Chateau de Cardboard. I've introduced Beki to cardboard wine, as she likes to call it, and she had some leftover from making sangria for the After Party. Of course she'd want to give me the leftovers and she knew that I would be both grateful and highly amused. And I am.

How do I work this thing?

I forgot how my alarm clock works.

Seriously, every time I have to use it recently I have to stop and think really hard about it. I've figured it out but these are the unexpected side effects of being "between jobs" like I am.
