Letter K

I haven't read it yet, but this is the only K I could think of...

K is for Kuchen - yummy strawberry cake with the last of the German strawberries of the season.

Letter J

Grocery list, keys, sunglasses, gum, EpiPen, ligher, pen and pencil... J is for Junk drawer.

J is for Johannisbeere - red currents! 

Letter I

... we all scream for Ice Cream! Our ice cream man makes this stuff from scratch. And if you ask, he tops it with Amaretto (or whatever you prefer.) It just doesn't get any better!

I'm going to get that string!!! I'm not going to get up from my schnoozing position but I am going to get the string!

Letter H

H is for Holland - here's the Maastricht, Netherlands skyline. Great day trip - already scheming to go back.

H is for Hiding....  Meet Stanley. He hides a lot.

H is for Horror!  I almost set the whole house on fire.  Sat this case of gatorade on the stove and hit the knob and turned it on.  When I returned to the kitchen with more groceries there was lots of smoke and actual flames shooting from the box.  Good times!

Letter G

G is for "It's going to be Gooey!"

G is for grapes... which will eventually be W is for Wine!

G is for Guacamole.

Letter F

F is for France - we are so lucky to live just a 2 hour drive away.

F is for Flowers... in France!

F is for Friends.

Letter E

E is for Event.  This is at the neighborhood pool this afternoon, Swim Meet.  They take this very seriously.

E is for Escargot - Mmmmm!

E is for Escargot for me as well... I couldn't resist!

Letter D

It's Fletcher the Wonder Dog.

Still trying to get the iphone to do what I want.  Here is my little man - D is for Dork.

D is for DISASTER!! I've broken my measuring spoons. But is can also be for Delightful as I have another set! The only one that didn't break was the 1/2 tsp and that's the one missing from my spare set! 

Letter C

C is for Cake, not just any cake, but 12 layer chocolate, homemade, chocolate melted in a pan - real cake.  Have not eaten it yet, still looking at it.

Uh, that cake looks a lot better than cantaloupes. I don't even like cantaloupe! But I like pictures of piles of round things like this.

Just like on Sesame Street, C is for Cat! Meet Stella, one of our crazy kitties! Stanley has made an appearance before in this blog... it was Stella's turn!

Letter B

B is for Bar - we had a few pre-Eagles Concert drinks at our favorite swanky hotel bar.

B is also for Boy.  As fun as bar, but in a much different way.

B is for Breakfast. This morning it was lovely french bread with homemade strawberry balsamic jam. 

Day 2.0 - Letter A

Here we go!

A is for Apartment. Which I can not believe I live in at this age. But don't get me started... Thanks a lot, Army. Oh! A bonus A.

Yes your eyes are not deceiving you, this is an axil. Glad to be back.

A is for alcohol. And for Ah, no, I didn't fill this by myself, I had a little help from my friends. 

We're baaaaack!

Six months was long enough to rest our creative muscles! Too long, in fact.

So: watch this space starting Saturday when Carey and I are joined by my friend Tricia for photographic adventures. We'll start by working our way through the alphabet: one photo inspired by one letter, one day at a time.

And then we'll come up with some other assignment when this first portion is done (feel free to make suggestions!)

I'm excited to photograph with a purpose - and with friends!

Cheers,
~Elysia
