ON THE LINE

Image
  It appears the main characters in the prompt picture may have resided in an apartment building where they were allowed to dry their laundry on a line from one part of the building to another as this photo demonstrates. Here’s a good load of clothes drying between buildings. The drying wash on the line here is a little more complicated or, as my daughter would say, WOWSA! I wonder if the one towel being blue and the other, pink, meant anything? Looks like folks were out enjoying the water in lifejackets with beach towels to dry off on. Laundry day here included hanging sheets out to dry.  I used to love the fresh smell of sheets dried in the open air.  Unfortunately, where we live now, hanging clothes out to dry on a line is not allowed. If you live out in the country, however . . . . . . or by the water’s edge, perhaps you could still enjoy that fresh ozone scent on your sheets & pillowcases. Or maybe on the Isle of Iona in Scotland, walking toward the Abbey, you mi...

THE SWEATERFEST

Image
    The gentleman in the prompt pic’ is wearing a smart looking sweater and since we’ve been posting photos about cars lately, I decided to use his sweater as my theme. My husband’s beautiful fisherman knit sweater.  This sweater would keep anyone warm in the coldest weather. Hubby’s favorite color is blue so this two-tone blue sweater is one of his favorites. Likewise this one as well. I like blue sweaters too. These are sweaters my daughter and I bought in the gift shop at John O’Groat’s Lands End when we visited the Scottish Highlands & Western Isles in 2015.  My daughter chose the sweater on the right.  I went with the one on the left.  They’re lightweight summer cotton-knit sweaters. My Mom knit this coral sweater for me with a cable pattern that’s a little hard to see here down the front & back and along the outside of the sleeves. Mom also knit these sweaters for my brother and sisters.  She loved to knit – especially things with intrica...

WHITE JACKETS WHERE'RE YOU LOOK

Image
  The two fellows in the prompt picture appear to be on a ship of some kind - a cruise ship, perchance?  From their white jackets I assume they're part of the staff. Are they, perhaps, chefs or other service members? Cruise ship staff members– the middle fellow’s jacket looking somewhat like those worn by the duo in the prompt picture.   Is  he a chef?    He has epaulets on his shoulders?    Perhaps he’s an executive chef? Here’s a happy cruise ship chef. A lineup of cruise ship chefs. A staff member bringing a meal to a passenger’s room. I wouldn’t mind having this handsome fellow captaining my ship – or maybe I would?  He looks a little young for such an important position.  But I’d appreciate him as any other officer! J Now then, a cruise ship is not the only place you’re going to see men in white jackets.  In the 1960’s men in white dress jackets were often seen in wedding pix such as the ones below . . . This was my youn...
