Ruby Tuesday: Bobbing for Apples

It's time to play Ruby Tuesday, and this week we're showing Red for Halloween!

If you want to join in the fun, just click the Ruby Tuesday picture and it will take you where you want to be.

For Ruby Tuesday this week I am happy to present this wonderful snapshot of Bobbing for Apples. No Halloween party would be complete without this exciting game. The handsome young redhead with his head in the big red bowl is my little buddy Colton.

Ruby Tuesday: Arby's Cowboy Hat

Ruby Tuesday means fun for all red-posting bloggers! Check out The Work Of The Poet, the Home for Ruby Tuesday to find out what it is all about. Also, keep in mind, October is the month for Breast Cancer Awareness!

Today's presentation for Ruby Tuesday begins with a wonderful cow from Cow Parade (New York City, 2001) called "Even Cowgirls Get The Blues." I selected her for the-cow-of-the-day because she is wearing a red cowboy hat just like the one on the Arby's sign. I have no vested interest in this fast food restaurant, I just took a photo of their sign to sneak in some pictures of some of my favorite fellows.

The first young cowpoke is Colton in 2005, and the next one is Connor in 1996.

Finally, here's Lawrence in 1998. He doesn't have on a red cowboy hat, but he is a good looking cowboy, all the same. This post just wouldn't be complete without him.

Ruby Tuesday: Matryoshka Dolls

It's RUBY TUESDAY time again. Time to join in the REDNESS. Click on the RUBY and it will take you to the LIST. Sign up there, post your RED, then visit other blogs also posting RED.

"Chelsea" from Cow Parade (Harrisbug, Pennsylvania, 2004) is the cow-of-the-day for today because she has a pretty face painted on her back. The face reminds me of the face on a Matryoshka doll. When I was souvenir shopping in Alaska in 2006, I came upon a bargain. If you bought the book, you would also receive the nesting dolls. I knew my grand daughters would like them, so, of course, I bought them.

I decided to photograph the Matryoshka dolls with this old brass Russian tea pot. I think it adds some pizazz to the picture. Besides, I have got to find a worthwhile use for some of the brass I have around the house.

Happy Ruby Tuesday! Thanks for stopping by to see my red!

Ruby Tuesday: Red Gladiolus

I have discovered another great color game for bloggers. It is called Ruby Tuesday, and it's hosted on Work of the Poet. You can meet other friendly bloggers who are radiating redness.
I am presenting my gorgeous red gladiolus for Ruby Tuesday. They are shown here in a fabulous marble vase. On the nightstand, beside the vase, you can see a wonderful portrait of my grand daughters, Abigail and Amelia. They are so cute dressed up in their overall jumpers. This is the last picture I see every night before I turn off the light. If this doesn't give you sweet dreams, I don't know what could.

I am also asking for advice about Chicago. My girlfriends and I are going to Chicago in November while our husbands are at a gun show in Oklahoma. What do we need to be sure we see and do in Chicago? We will be there for four days. We're looking on the Internet, but I thought there might be places off the beaten path we would enjoy as well. Any advice about Chicago would be appreciated. Thanks for your comments. Here is our picture when we were vsiting Natchez, Mississippi. We always have so much fun on our trips together. Life is so FABULOUS!
