Here is my submission for the week, it is my idea of what summer really looks like. This is the Grand Floridian at Walt Disney World. We had the privilege of staying there for the Disney Social Media Moms Celebration. The cast members there were fabulous as well as the accommodations. I would LOVE to go stay there again some day.

Congratulations to Jama who won last weeks Color Carnival with her lovely photo. Now, let's see your best colorful photo, I know you all are wonderful photographers, and then link up to Maria's Space, then return on Thursday to vote for your favorite.

Self-Portrait Sunday ~~ New Sunglasses

.



My friend Maria over at Maria's Space started this meme to get us out from BEHIND the camera and showcase our own lovely faces on our blogs.... We don't want to have a blog full of our family, friends and children and when we go back years later and wonder.... where the heck were we and what did we look like?




I recently got a new pair of sunglasses to keep the sun out of my eyes and help prevent migraines. Bill laughed at me and said they were too big. I think they look great, what do y'all think?

We took four of the dogs out for brunch this morning to celebrate Mai-Li's birthday and when we got home Mumbo was so excited to see us that he was jumping all over me, so I got down on the floor to play with him. (No easy fete I might add.) Then I decided to take a couple of photos while I was down there.....

This photo is from one of our trips to EPCOT at Walt Disney World when we were there to see one of the old time rockers (I'll do a full post later) at their Flower Power Concert series. (Yes, I know that I forgot to wear sunscreen on my chest - oops, shame on this Florida girl!)  We are actually going tonight to see Herman's Hermits - I love 60's music and have been singing "Henry the Eighth" for FOUR days.

Self-Portrait Sunday ~~ Grammy's Funny Face

I love how Maria is always posting photos of herself in silly poses or making funny faces..... SOOOO today I decided to to post a photo of myself that is utterly ridiculous. This is a picture of what my grandson calls, "Grammy Lorie's Funny Face," whenever I make this face, he cracks up hysterically.  To me, there is no greater sound in the whole world than that of a child's laughter, so I'd make this face for him anytime I see him - which is never enough... They live in Texas.

So... if I can post that sill photograph, there is no excuse for any of you not to participate in this meme.  I know I am late this week, but we had a rough weekend {too many details to get into, but I'm gonna catch up today.}  Join Maria by posting your beautiful face and linking up with Maria over at Maria's Space and visiting the other participants and leaving them a nice comment.
