Challenging Day: CFFC, Which Way Challenge, and CMMC

I hope you are enjoying the new year, making your resolutions, organizing your closets, sleeping in, writing poetry, and in general enjoying your blog and the world around you.

Both Lens Artists # 181 and Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this month have promoted double dipping. That is, they posted photos that linked to another photo challenge. I list other challenges that inspire my post each week with WQW, but today I invite you to double dip intentionally.

Today I’m playing along with Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge which is playing along with Which Way and Cee’s Midweek Madness Challenge, which is the color white this week.

My kids asked me what it was like growing up in the 80s… So, I took their cell phones away and turned the internet off.

My Choices for This Week

“Once I’ve taken photographs, I look at them, and I get into them, and I’m there for the moment – and then that’s it. I find little time for reflection.”

Hi, I’m Marsha Ingrao, a retired educator and wife of a retired realtor. My all-consuming hobby is blogging and it has changed my life. My friends live all over the world. In November 2020, we sold everything and retired to the mile-high desert of Prescott, AZ. We live less than five miles from the Granite Dells, four lakes, and hundreds of trails with our dog, Kalev, and two cats, Moji and Nutter Butter. Vince’s sister came with us and lives close by. Every day is a new adventure.

      Thank you. I just tried to visit your blog, and got a sign that said it was no longer available.

            Strange. I don’t have an answer for you. Everything works fine, haven’t heard anyone else either. Sorry.

            Wow, that’s weird. I know I’ve been to your site before. I’m going to put travelsan.wordpress.com into the search bar by itself instead of trying to get there from my comments and see what happens.

            The same thing happens. I put your name into the search engine and came up with another .com address. This one works. https://aliveandtrekking.com/ For some reason your gravitar is attached to the travelsan website. Mystery solved.

            I change the name of mine several times, but not the address. Actually, that’s not true either. I linked another address to my original blog to make it fit the name, Always Write.

            I only changed the address because I got a custom domain. But that was at the start of my blogging days. I’ll have to see if I can change my gravatar info 😉

            Either that or link the two if you still own that domain. Otherwise, yes, that would be a good idea.

      I thought it was so funny. My friend and I drew a lot of attention in the store – not on purpose – but because we both have unusual laughs that carry and are very infectious.

      Snowy is always pretty, I think. Have you seen some of Anne Christine’s snowy pictures recently? They are amazing! 🙂

          She did one for Double Dipping, but she has a myriad of snowy pictures for other challenges as well.
