Sometime Inspirational

Sometimes you wake up. 
Sometimes the fall kills you. 
And sometimes, when you fall, you fly.

              ~ Neil Gaiman ~

Sunday Snapshots

As you might remember, my folks visited this week.

Saturday

 
They arrived Saturday afternoon and wanted to go out to dinner.

Mom chose Red Robin (Yum!); so we piled into the van and away we went.

Halfway there I realized I was still in my work shirt.

Luckily, Red Robin is attached to the mall, and one of the stores had a sale.

 

MST3K shirt detailHooray for MST3K!

 

Sunday

 
On the way out the door for Sunday church, Mom realized that Dad and I dressed very similarly:

As we were close to the beach, we visited Fort Macon and Atlantic Beach between the morning and evening services.
 
First up, Fort Macon:
 


 

As I wandered around looking for unique architectural details, I noticed something about the springer.
 


 

Then, it was on to the beach!

 And onto the beach, as it were.

 


 

That evening, we were back at church. What luck it was a fellowship night!
 


 

Monday

 

We went shopping for groceries to make apple pie.

 

 

Dad also cleaned our coffee pots. He did a good job, even if I did have to stop him from trying to take apart the Keurig.

 

Tuesday

 

We visited the Farmer’s Market and Tryon Palace

 

 

 

I made a Venison Roast, which I didn’t take a picture of; however, we did have apple pie and vanilla ice cream for desert:

Wednesday

 

Mom and Dad left Wednesday morning, but not before we ate breakfast at Baker’s Kitchen

Thursday – Saturday

 
Soon after they left, I developed all the symptoms of a simply wonderful summer cold.

So, I used the time to catch up on my TBR:

Sunday Snapshots

I cleaned this week; picture opportunities seldom presented themselves.

That said, here’s a glimpse of my non-cleaning activities:

Books:

 

signed last will bryn greenwoodI rediscovered my signed copy of Last Will by Bryn Greenwood.

Food:

 

german coffee
This German coffee powered most activities this week.

This was the last piece of pie [with more of that German coffee].

 

Miscellany

 

haircut july 2015
I got a haircut for the first time in three months.
This is the “after” picture; I think I accidentally deleted the “before” picture.

In addition to cleaning, our church’s Vacation Bible School took up most evenings.
This was my view for a good hour – or more – each night.

 

 

vbs script 2015
I took part in the skit each night; here’s a glimpse of one of the scripts.

 

 

lion head or holy grail
This decoration supposed to portray a lion.
I can’t help but see the Holy Grail surrounded by rays of light.

 

 

Coffee and the Holy Grail
Obviously, the Grail contains coffee.

Apple Pie Half Gone
The pessimist sees half the pie eaten.

The optimist sees half the pie remaining.

The photographer sees all the people angry he interrupted the enjoyment of pie.
