Thinking Of You - Part 2

As promised, here are the next set of photos that I took with you in mind:

(If you are a regular commenter and don't see a photo for yourself, please check my previous post of Part 1)

Last year, Secret Agent Woman did a post showing how she and her husband built a Little Free Library structure for their town. I thought it was the neatest thing, so imagine my surprise when a Little Free Library showed up in my town! I was so excited to take this picture for her.

Sometimes, bloggers write very timely posts. Joe wrote about whether or not to vote on his P&G proxy materials. Wouldn't you know it, the next day this arrived in my mailbox. Thanks for the preview, Joe!

I posted a picture of this year's fairy garden in my previous post for Crystal Chick. This photo is for Kat. She introduced the concept of fairy gardens to me years ago on her blog. My daughter made this one last year, and it truly had a fairy theme going.

Pixel Peeper often posts about foods she finds at Aldi. She is a native of Germany. I thought about her a lot last year, when my son was living and working in Munich. He sent me this picture because he thought it was funny that the grocery store near him provided magnifying glasses to read the fine print. I might do a post in the future about all his fun food finds in Europe.

Mark is currently wrapping up a trip to Rapid City and the surrounding area. I had a blast following him on his blog and Instagram and seeing all the sights, as we did a family trip out there in 2007. I didn't know Mark back then, but this picture of the Badlands is for him because he didn't have time to visit this time around. It was a cloudy, misty day when we were there, but very cool, nonetheless!

Mary usually posts reviews, photos and videos, but nothing cracks me up more than her posts about her weird neighbors! However, my neighbor takes the cake . . . please enlarge and look at the white object in the center of the photo. Yes, you are seeing that correctly . . . a urinal. This is the beauty I have in my backyard! Fortunately, we have a wood pile to block the view, so at least I don't see it from my house.

Just a few months before I flew to Hawaii on this airplane, I read Rob's post about his trip to Hawaii. Rob likes to fly just about as much as I do. I think he will agree with me that it's not just the actual flight, it's all the worry that leads up to it (Will my multiple alarms go off? Will my flight be delayed, causing me to miss my connection? Will I get sick right before my expensive trip? Will I get a flat tire on the way to the airport? Will I arouse suspicion while going through security for no apparent reason? The list can go on and on for me.) Knowing that Rob managed to get to Hawaii and back gave me at least a little bit of hope that I could do it too! Thanks, Rob!

  

One thing I have in common with Nick is a love of books. While I don't think we necessarily have the same reading tastes, I think I can safely say that he has about as much interest in Amish fiction as I do. Is it just my library, or does everyone's library have a freakish preponderance of these sort of books? Who is reading this??
