i heart faces challenge

because i've never entered one before

because i am usually behind the camera

because my husband took the picture and for some reason i love it

i am entering into the i heart faces "self-portrait" challenge

will i win?

probably not.

but i 'heart' this photo

notice the play on words? eh pretty creative

i love this photo because there is a sense of peace

a sense of calm

it was right after two Zumba classes

and i have sweat off all my makeup

but its one of the few photos i look at it

and think

you look pretty 

so here's to the i heart faces challenge!

regardless of the results 

it won't be my last.

the many signs of key west

during our cruise

we ported at key west, fl

it's a very nice town

along with many roosters roaming about

kenneth and i noticed the many unique signs

key lime pie on a stick...yummy?

ok, first it was the large cookies that got our attention

then it was the word fudge printed boldly across the window

it made me think of ralphie in "the christmas story"

one of my favorite holiday movies!

really? $1,100.00 for this dog? 

so did we or didn't we?

you will never know!

kenneth really liked this sign.  

it matches the decor in his "man cave"

yes his "man cave" has decor.... moving on.....

so this isn't a sign but i love "the thing"

i found one when i was 15 looking for my first car

the only problem

it was burnt orange

and well you driving a burnt orange car in norman is asking for trouble.

this was a really cool cemetery.

one headstone read:

"i told you i was sick"

there were other funny headstones as well.

out of respect for the dead i did not take pictures of the headstones.

we walked most of the island of key west

only by accident

and failure to ask for directions

but really enjoyed the scenery

we even found a piece of real estate.

the home was a fixer upper.

real potential.

the price had recently been lowered

to a mere 2.6 million

quite a steal considering 3 years ago it was listed for 6.5 million according to the neighbor

what interesting signs have you seen lately?

friday fun fact

dr. seuss's "green eggs and ham"

was the first book i ever read

there is your friday fun fact!

***

now come on, 

i would not make your friday fun fact as simple as that

there is something else special about "green eggs and ham"

it only uses 50 words!!!

no joke!

count them.

i dare you.

dr. seuss was challenged by his editor 

Bennett Serf

to write a book using fewer words than the 225 he used in 

"cat in the hat"

and by george!

dr. seuss did just that.

the fifty words are:

a, am, and, anywhere, are, be, boat, box, car, could, dark, do, eat, eggs, fox, goat, good, green, ham, here, house, I, if, in, let, like, may, me, mouse, not, on, or, rain, Sam, say, see, so, thank, that, the, them, there, they, train, tree, try, will, with, would and you.

happy friday everyone!

now go read a book!
