One Word Photo Challenge

One Word Photo Challenge: Lemon

This photo was taken today (on my Nokia smartphone) for Jennifer’s One Word Photo Challenge: Lemon. I was busy cleaning (at work) when Mr R reminds me that the Lake Eppalock Gold Cup is on this weekend. He insists I come into the other room where he could see a boat from a window. So, grudgingly, I do and am glad I did. I’m amazed. I imagined I was about to see an oversized sleek speedboat, not something shaped like a spacecraft. And then, something about it hits me. Lemon, the boat is lemon! Perfect for Jennifer’s challenge.

After looking at the Victorian Speed Boat Club’s website, I find this ‘boat’ is called HBR, and is a 1.6lt Hydroplane, with a 1.6lt Toyota Twin Cam Engine.

I nearly settled for showing you wattle again, from earlier in the year.

Here’s a thought: “What if…”

I, too, have put of going to a celebration event after considering the cost against quality time spent with the person, and then opted for a special one-on-one visit instead. Please check out the video at the end of this post.

A friend of mine in another state is having her 60th birthday party and sent me an e-vite. It’s an important year for all of us turning 60. It’s a sort of road map that says: “Two-thirds of the way done…” There was an excellent deal on air fares and I searched thru, thinking I would like to honor my friend by attending her party. Just before I hit “book it,” I pulled my hand back to sleep on the decision. Hey, the sale was good thru the next day.

When I woke up, I thought again of booking the $150.00 flight, the hotel, and arranging for my dog and cat to be cared for – a trip of Friday thru Sunday for about $500-$600 and I would spend approximately an hour with my friend, sharing her with other friends gathered to celebrate her… Another cup of coffee was needed.
