Okinawa Photographer - Daily Snaps- today is...

Sick

I can not go to school today

Said little Peggy Ann McKay.

I have the measles and the mumps,

A gash, a rash and purple bumps.

My mouth is wet, my throat is dry,

I'm going blind in my right eye.

My tonsils are as big as rocks,

I've counted sixteen chicken pox

And there's one more-that's seventeen,

And don't you think my face looks green?

My leg is cut - my eyes are blue-

It might be instamatic flu.

I cough and sneeze and gasp and choke,

I'm sure that my my left leg is broke-

My hip hurts when I move my chin,

My belly button's caving in,

My back is wrenched, my ankle's sprained,

My 'pendix pains each time it rains.

My nose is cold, my toes are numb.

I have a silver in my thumb.

My neck is stiff, my voice is weak,

I hardly whisper when I speak.

My tongue is filling up my mouth,

I think my hair is falling out.

My elbow's bent, my spine ain't straight,

My temperature is one-o-eight.

My brain is shrunk, I cannot hear,

There is a hole inside my ear.

I have a hangnail, and my heart is - what?

What's that? What's that you say?

You say today is...Saturday?

G'bye, I'm going out to play!

Daily Snap -

I wish this poem were true about Typhoon Trio. Last 24 hours have been rough especially with lack of sleep. I was worried today because we were about to run out of fever reducer lucky there was some at the BX. The fever reducer and jello in the picture have been our must have items today at our home.

Pray that we have a restful night and that the fever breaks.

Okinawa Photographer- Daily Snaps- rain

Rain

I open my eyes

And looked up at the rain,

And it dripped in my head

And flowed into my brain,

And all that I hear as I lie in my bed

Is the slishity-slosh of the rain in my head.

I step very softly,

I walk very slow,

I can't do a handstand-

I might overflow,

So pardon the wild crazy thing I just said-

I'm just not the same since there's rain in my head.

Daily Snaps - 365 project

Yesterday felt like spring but not so much today. It was not only cold but it was wet out too. I am not a fan of being cold much less wet. While waiting for Typhoon Trio at the bus stop, I decided to take my Daily Snaps photograph. They say the best camera is the one you have with you. Mine just happens to be an iphone.  

Hope you had a warm and dry day =)

Daily Snaps - colorful moments

There's too many kids in this tub.

There's too many elbows to scrub.

I just washed a behind

That wasn't mine.

There's too many kids in this tub.

Daily Snaps - early bird

Early Bird

Oh, if you're the early bird, be an early bird

And catch the worm for your breakfast plate.

If you're a bird, be an early early bird -

But if you're a worm, sleep late.

Yeah!!!
We have reached our first week of Daily Snaps. If this happens to be your first time reading a Daily Snap and would like to see more isolated observations into my life. Then start on day one with the Candyman post.


I would like to thank everyone that has been reading the Daily Snaps. Even though you haven't been leaving me any "blog love" I know you are out there =) I appreciate your support greatly and look forward to the day that you leave me comments and we can converse.


Today's Daily Snaps is going to hit two birds with one stone. Today was a early, early day. I was out the door at 0530 for a couples photography session. I was really happy for one it wasn't raining and two this was special for them because they are PCSing soon back to the states. While I was waiting for the couple to arrive I took the first picture. I love how the sun kisses the night goodbye with beautiful colors. The session started out great and then we hit a 5 second down pour that soaked us to the bone. Lucky for me this couple was very laid back and willing to have fun. So they changed into dry clothes and we finished a wonderful session. I hope that Kevin and Amy find lots of blessings on their new journey. It was a pleasure to have met them. 


The second and third picture were taken after the session. I love, love, love morning light. It's so soft and makes everything look so beautiful to me. Since it was still early, I was able to drive slowly thru the agricultural area of Yomitan. Then I saw a patch of yellow. I was so excited because I thought maybe just maybe it was a pumpkin patch!!!  I LOVE Okinawa but if there's one thing I don't like about being here is missing out on Autumn!  I love the fall time. I miss how you can smell it in the air, the crisp cold of the morning, the majestic show that nature gives us with the changing of the leaves, warm hot coco with marshmallows and snuggling out on our back porch when we lived on the lake. Sorry off on a tangent... so when I saw the flowers I thought PUMPKINS!! But the patch wasn't right next to the road I had to walk approx 10 to 15 feet to it. Which isn't bad but it's bad when you sink into the ground about 3 inches and have clay tennis shoes by the time you get out of there. Unfortunately, it wasn't pumpkins but Goyas aka bitter melon. They are still pretty and the flowers are too so I decided to share them. Needless to say by the time I got out of there I had to stomp my feet on the asphalt for a bit trying to get the clay off before getting into my funcargo. For those in the states a funcargo is a really cute vehicle made by Toyota. I love my car =) 


Okay that's it I'm done rambling on =)


Thank you again for joining me this week.
Sweet Dreams Okinawa and have a blessed day to the other side of the world!


It was great sitting here with you for a bit. I'll catch you tomorrow =)
