When LUCK finds YOU!

brilliantviewpoint 27 Comments

Yesterday was an interesting day. I was running errands. Parked my car, opened the car door and a $1 bill was there.

Some Good Luck coming my way.

When I walked in the store, I immediately saw this shirt. I thought of St Patrick’s Day, the Luck of the Irish.

Finally, I decided to stop at the thrift store, look at the puzzles.

I fell in LOVE with this Ravensburger beach scene. I’ve never done a 2,000 piece puzzle. Looks like it was time.

BAD NEWS, the box was not taped closed. When I opened it, the pieces were not in a bag, but they looked plentiful?!?

I thought about the $1 I had just found. The puzzle was $1.99.

I decided to add 99 cents and take the RISK that when I put the puzzle together – ALL the pieces will be there!

This scene is a reminder, Spring / Summer are coming!

Have a great weekend!

When the SUN is TRYING to come out…

The sun and clouds are really so amazing. I was walking recently, it was so gloomy.

Suddenly, the sun was trying to come out. I got these two photos. Interesting how the clouds move so quickly.

With another snow storm on the way… time for more shoveling.

Have a great weekend!

Holiday MAGIC!

I don’t normally pay attention to cars / trucks, but this one caught my eye. The paint job is fantastic. It’s just perfect. A lot of thought was put into the color. Look at the details.

It’s a truck for holiday magic.. Just needs a Christmas tree in the back with some presents.

I recently did this puzzle. It’s so darn cute. We’ve become so casual, I don’t see people dressed like this. In fact, my mother recently went to the Opera, she said it was a shame, people did not dress up at all.

Wishing you all a happy holiday.

Merry Christmas!

Mirror, Mirror on the wall… Who is the FAIREST of them all?

I saw this while walking.

My first thought was Snow White and her wicked step-mother, Evil Queen.

Here is picture from afar, then I walked closer.

There’s a story here. Who put this mirror there?

Ponder that on the weekend…

Boston – A Sunflower STILL hanging on!

I was recently in Boston. I went with my friends to Rockport, a beautiful coastal town. We enjoyed walking around, seeing the shops, the marina, the seagulls.

Suddenly, I heard, “Hey, look at that sunflower! Still hanging on.”

I went to take a closer look at it. It was so cold, I had to have gloves on, so this was a hardy sunflower.

Rockport was a pretty little town. A few more pictures for you.

It’s fun to explore new areas.

Supermoon – Does it change your mood?

The other night, I stepped outside and was surprised to see the full moon. It was so bright, my first thought, before I saw the moon, was that a spot light was shinning down on me. Then I looked UP!

LOL – It was God about to talk… me feeling like a spot light was on me, laugh a little.

I didn’t know it was a supermoon until I Googled it. I was able to capture this picture.

Interesting, the IPhone usually takes clear night sky photos, but the ones I took were all a bit blurry.

Still, you can see how bright the moon was. Really a treat to see.

Go out tonight if you remember, you’ll be amazed! Oh, and I do think this is why I’ve been moody these past few days. Could be?

Halloween Hotline — May I help you?

This was funny. I have a friend whose birthday is on Halloween. Imagine that!!

I was at the store and came across this Halloween phone. A shame, I think it needed a battery, so that the skeleton’s head would light up while dialing/calling someone.

Dialing the phone was fun, like the “old days,” when as you dial, you hear a clicking sound.

I imagined being in a haunted house, finding this phone and calling GHOST BUSTERS!

H-E-L-P —> Get me out of here!

I’ve seen a Ghost! 👻

I leave you with the Halloween Hotline!

Cheers to a great weekend!

Canada – I saw the Northern Lights!

I was up in Canada and a friend said, “LOOK, there are the Northern Lights.”

Funny, I could not see them, but I indulged my friend and took a picture. GUESS WHAT – in the picture, I could see the Northern Lights. The stars were amazing, they felt so close as if you could touch them.

One night I saw the Big Dipper, it was so clear, but I did not have my cell phone with me to take a picture.

I loved how the sky would be mirrored in the lake. So many great nature photos.

Also, a Canadian magnet puzzle – that was funny!

Canada is beautiful, I look forward to going back. I’d like to visit Quebec.

Fall is a great time to be in nature.

Happy road tripping!
