Today is a “Wild Card” Wordless Wednesday with no specific prompt, but the suggested theme is “spring forward” (since we set the clocks ahead this weekend!). I’m springing backward instead, to May 2007.

When you see this sign, you know where you are I’ve lived more than half my life in places where one of the leading industries is tourism. As a teenager on Florida’s Gulf Coast, I mocked it–”tourist trap” was an insult applied to places residents wouldn’t go and activities they wouldn’t do. As a thirtysomething in Memphis–Tennessee’s other “Music City”–I visited Graceland only in the company of out-of-town visitors, but I worked at one of the […]
My great-grandparents, and some of their children, arrived in the United States in the wave of immigrants from Southern and Eastern Europe that landed on these shores in the early twentieth century. Like most of the rest, they were greeted by Lady Liberty as they sailed into New York Harbor and disembarked at Ellis Island. Last summer, I had the chance to discover what they saw when they arrived. June 2012: Two perspectives of the […]

But when “Envious/Jealous” popped up for our Linked-Up Wordless Wednesday prompt this week, I knew it was time to own up to my envy of people who get to spend their days like this.

Yesterday, August 13, was the first day of school for the Los Angeles Unified School District, so it seems fitting that our link-up photo theme today is “Summer Vacation Wrap-Up.” If you’ve been around here much this summer, you’ve been subjected to my vacation pictures a few times already, but I have an official directive to share some more today, and I love how easy it is to do that with a collage app! As […]
There are actually three dogs here in front of “Two Salty Dogs”–they are Auggie, Max, and Cole, they’re on Facebook, and occasionally, they blog. While I can’t vouch for their salt content, I can confirm that they were pretty damp and sleepy as they basked in the warm sunshine of coastal Maine on a June morning. I suspect that they’d had some playtime out in the harbor, and we came upon them during their recovery […]
