The Brenda Photo Challenge (9-25-10) Orange

ORANGE Apron taken at the Gunther House in San Antonio, Texas....
ORANGE Motocross emblem on the back of my Grandson, William's T-Shirt....
An ORANGE pillowcase.....Hahaaaa....Yes...I was a bad photographer again! I didn't get a chance to get out and about this time to hunt for Orange...In fact, right now, I am HOPEFULLY waking up in Voluntown, Connecticut, where I am visiting my cousin, Roni and her husband Mike! Last week I just decided I was tired...Couldn't go another step...done...out of gas. Hubby couldn't come with me because as Usual, there were JOBS to be tended to. It must have been the look in my eyes that prompted his quick response to my question..."But there's NO reason why You can't go!" So I did. Hopefully by the time this post, I'm drinking coffee and packing up to head back to Texas. Y'all say a prayer for my flight please...One of the jets is a fifty seater and I'll be by a window....great....I hate flying, but I really needed to get back up to see all my family. My cousin Roni lost her twin sister recently and I felt compelled to visit. We were last here seven years ago right after my Dad crossed. I told Roni NOT to tell anyone I was coming so we'll see how That works out...Today is Sept 14th and I leave on the 18th to head up North...Confusing, huh....LOL! I've "scheduled" this post ahead of time. Hope it works! Oh well, the point is, with my pitiful explaination, is...I'll visit all of Your photos HOPEFULLY on Sunday!
Y'all have a great weekend and I'll post about the trip when I get back....

Hope your trip was a good one & the flight wasn't to bad for you.
We always find it hard to get away too, but sometimes it just comes down to making yourself just pack & go.
Looking forward to you blogging about your trip when you get home.

Your "orange" subjects are great. Your grandson is a doll. Hope your trip went well -- I'm no longer a good flyer either. In fact, I haven't been on a plane since 1997. lol Hubby has been in your shoes and has traveled to Washington state to visit family several times.
I happily remain home tending the home fires.

Great choices for orange, I love that apron.

Hope you are having a great time visiting family and friends. Flying can be a pain these days even for those of us who enjoy it, hope it wasn't too bad.

Al said...

Wow! The aprons are just so great! I know you had a great time bonding with your family and of course your grandson...yeah!

Jo said...

Donna, your orange subjects are great. And I LOVE your grandson. He'd do well in our family with motorbike/mx mania. I trust by now you are with your family and you gave them all a WONDERFUL surprise. I LOVE surprises and look forward to reading about your visit. Blessings and hugs. Jo

Love all of your orange Donna! Hope you had a safe trip back!!! I don't like flying either.

Ann said...

Now how can you say you were a bad photographer? You captured clear, crisp images that fell perfectly into the theme. You threw in a bonus of your grandsons beautiful eyes and charming smile. In other words, You did darn good.
How the trip was a good one and you're feeling all refreshed by now.

Debbie said...

Donna said...

I am praying for your safe return! Your grandson is certainly going to melt a lot of young girls' hearts as he gets older!

Brenda said...

Welcome home sweetheart! Your pictures are great! I love how clear, and crisp they are!

Dolores said...

I love eating breakfast or brunch at the Guenther House in San Antonio.

Hoping you had a wonderful visit with your cousin.

Your grandson is a cutey!!!

WR said...

I actually really like your photos on the fly and perhaps that has nore meaning than usual! :) Hope the family visit is heart warming and soul connecting!

Janice said...

I love your pictures! I neeed those aprons!
I've learned that a picture is not about a perfect background, ect, but about capturing memories and life as we live each and ever day. To me those pictures hold more meaning and are special.
P.S. Hope you are having a wonderful time and the flight back to Texas is good!

Sally said...

Love your pics and, of course, anything featuring Will makes my day happier.

Safe trip - have missed u. Hope you had a good time.

Orange is orange where ever you find it! I had a hard time finding orange too. Enjoy your trip and safe return.
