365 Day Photo Challenge for Saturday - August 14th, 2010 till Friday - August 20th, 2010.

Happy Friday everyone...It's been an interesting morning.  My dad and I had some errands to run and we left at 7a.m. to beat the heat. Well, the car sounded really funny when he turned it on..so we did one errand and then headed over to the dealership where we purchased the car. It turns out the battery was starting to die. So we were able to get it fixed and it was going to cost $20 for labor..but since I also paid for a much-needed oil change...the service manager waived the $20. The car sounds really nice now.

Here are my photos for this week's installment of the 365 day photo challenge. Enjoy :) :)


Saturday ~ August 14th, 2010 A "crepe myrtle" plant near a local church in my neighborhood. It's so beautiful and bright.

Sunday ~ August 15th, 2010 Some lovely handmade soap from my friend Gerry at Gerry's Soap N Stuff. Check her blog button on my sidebar. I styled this soap with this handknit cloth made of sugarcane fibres!!!

Monday ~ August 16th, 2010  Looking at life from a different angle...tea and jewelry :) :)

Tuesday ~ August 17th, 2010 This was the skies above my home at about 4 p.m...it rained a little bit later that evening!! This photo is completely natural.


Wednesday ~ August 18th, 2010 The only cure for roses, is more roses :) :) :) These are some of the roses from the bouquet my dad brought home!!!

Thursday ~ August 19th, 2010 A very lovely gift of crocheted dishclothes from my friend Miss Antoinette. You can find her blog button on my sidebar..."Practical Simplicity" :) :) :) She made the card, too!!!

Friday ~ August 20th, 2010 This was hanging in the car dealership's waiting room. I snapped a photo of this while my dad and I were waiting for the car to be fixed. This was made by a gentleman by the name of Charles A. Fomby..in memory of 9/11/01. A somber occassion, but I thought this flag of ours is so very beautiful :) :)

I did manage to stop at two yard sales today and found some great things. So I'll be posting about that this week :) :) :)  I hope you all had a great week ...and that this weekend will be a restful one full of good things and lots of fun!!! I'm praying that God will make His presence known in your lives and you'll experience something great this weekend. That's the news from Oregon for this afternoon.  Love and hugs, Heather :)
