Last weeks prompts were: Nature, Vintage or Retro, Whimsical, Cooking and Week's Best. Here are my interpretations (a day late)...
1) Cooking.
I do not cook or bake. And I honestly have no interest in learning. Luckily I have a husband who does not mind it. Otherwise I would be most likely still be eating Pierogies and Lima Beans from the can. However, I do make a mean oatmeal. That is the extent of my "cooking."
2) Nature.
Pittsburgh had fabulous weather this weekend. Yesterday it got up to 70! Our last hurrah before Winter finally takes over. I'll take it though! Anwayyyyy, on weekends husband and I like to walk to our favorite breakfast joint in Ambridge (a suburb approximately 40 mins NW of Pittsburgh), The Maple. We go at least once during the weekend for a cheap but delicious breakfast when we don't feel like making our own or we are out of whatever we need. Over the Summer we got into the habit of walking there (approximately 2 miles each way) as a way to get exercise and enjoy some fresh air. Since it was so nice yesterday, we decided to continue with this tradition. The above was taken on our way back. I love when nature invades civilization.
3) Vintage/Retro
This is a corner shelving unit in our dining room. It has pretty much been the only thing in my house that I have gotten around to "decorating" even though we have lived here for just over 2 years. On the top shelf is one of my favorite antique shop finds; an old Kodak Duex and the second to bottom shelf on the right; an old camera my sister found when she was in England she gave to me for Christmas a few years ago. It has markings on it dating back to July 21, 1896. Pretty cool, huh?
4) Week's Best.
This was taken on our way to The Maple for breakfast. I love the colors contrasted with the black of the bare trees and blue sky and how the yellow balloon is perfectly illuminated by the shining sun behind it.
4) Whimsical.
I love games. Yahtzee, Phase 10, Apples to Apples are some of my favorites. This, however, may be my new favorite. It's called Cards Against Humanity. Similar to Apples to Apples but for a much more raunchy crowd. Great to play while drinking with friends. Lots of laughs will be had by all, i promise.
Hope you have enjoyed my interpretations for the week. I am excited to get back into SHS again. If you do not already participate, you should! It is a great way to share your blog with others and see other people's talent as well.
Linking up with:
Hope everyone has a great week!
