ABOUT : Picture of The Day

Picture of the Day

By helcha8

picture journal

picture journal

What is it why is it who needs it?

To answer the FIRST question (what is it):
It???s a pictorial of my daily life ??? ???picture diary??? I suppose we could call it.

why is it
A few years ago my friend Shannon, who lives in Arizona, inspired me to create Picture of the Day.    It???s really more like ???Story of the Day??? ??? should I change the name?  Shannon & I have been friends since 1984 and stay in touch regularly but – since we live 2,416 miles apart ??? we weren???t really a part of each other???s Daily Life.  Shannon wrote Day in the Life (her version of Picture of the Day) for one year so I could see what her & her family were regularly doing. She wanted me to share my every day experiences too ??? Where do I grocery shop? What does my office look like? How is my powder room decorated? What did I do Saturday night? Am I biking, playing volleyball or skydiving this weekend? What wine am I drinking & where am I dining? How are the canines & bitch cat entertaining me  these days?? What does my train stalker look like?
Just for FUN ??? as a ???BONUS??? I often include a Positive Quote and sometimes an interesting website.

who needs it
Other than Shannon I didn???t realize ANYONE ???needed??? it???..
I discovered that the more people heard about  Picture of the Day & talked about it ??? the more people wanted  to be ???on my list???. People will often tell me how much they LOVE Picture of the Day. It???s funny how people will recognize  someone featured on my Picture of the Day whereas I never knew they were acquainted.   Sometimes  I am told ??? that was the perfect QUOTE & was just what the doctor ordered.

If you are NOT a Picture of the Day subscriber and WANT to be on my list ???
send me an e-mail and I???ll promptly  get you signed up!  Helcha8@aol.com   .

Better YET — just subscribe to this Blog via the link on the right hand side of this page!

make it GREAT day!

make it GREAT day!

always positive,

(6.12.10)

Tom, Me, amazon Joe, Bob, Roy & Michael.
We rode 52 miles today – my longest ride this year.
It was a GREAT RIDE 🙂
That puts me at 413 1/2 miles year to date.

we were pretty hungry after all that biking.

we all compared our “calories burned” & it was

about 3000 so we decided we could eat

whatever we wanted……

We’ve been wanting to stop at Bowman’s Tavern

for awhile but we always forget about it.

It’s on our way home so this time we remembered.

—————————————————————————————-

later that night we headed over to our friends Greg & Joanne’s house

for a SURPRISE PARTY for Greg that ended up NOT being a surprise.

after biking we stopped at a Farmer’s Market.
I liked how you could buy the alpaca fur
& know whose fur you were buying!
this was Elliot’s fur.
(it’s probably really called wool?)
