Pictures for Pam, Day 211: SSC: Steve and the Chessplayer in a Double Dedication with Marie-claire Gallet


(+1 inset!)
Oh my, it's been another crazy day…it's just amazing how the hours just disappear. I got up at 6:45am this morning and I am just now sitting down to relax for a couple of minutes before dinner and more running around.
Today I did a lot of cooking and meal preparation for our upcoming trip. I simply don't know how the hours drain away but after all is said and done, we now have 15 breakfast egg, onion, cheese and sausage muffins, a couple of quarts of faux-tato salad (made with cauliflower...it's 10x better than potato!), and a bunch of other things are sorted out and ready to go. Whew! The best part is having Steve try each of my creations and then wanting to eat them all! :)
I'm bummed that I haven't had time to visit contacts on ipernity or leave comments. It's frustrating but time is so short that I don't even have time to work on my pictures. A shame. I haven't been able to process very many images from our past trip but what are you going to do when life is throwing a million tasks at you? I do apologize for not visiting—I feel guilty when so many have stopped by to say hi and I've not been able to reciprocate. I'm not sure what I can do about this problem...I can barely comment when we're away on our trips and when I get home I'm swamped with a million things to do. I would love some advice from you busy folks who manage to fit commenting into your day!
This is also Saturday, and that means Saturday Self Challenge! When I read what the topic was a few days ago, I wasn't sure that I'd be able to get out for pictures of a subject for "Statues and Monuments". However, as luck would have it, Steve and I went out a couple of days ago and there was enough time for a picture of a particular statue I loved.
In downtown Medford we have the Ginger Rogers theater—she lived here for all of her later life! Outside the theater is a square called Vogel Plaza. It's nothing special, though it's been used for protests and demonstrations through the years. The one thing that does make it special in my eyes is the awesome sculpture located on the far side of the square from the theater. There sits a bronze gentleman who is pondering his next chess move. Opposite to him is an empty bronze chair which tempts anyone nearby to sit in it! The artwork is fabulous with awesome details, an obvious understanding of proper anatomy and of course, a brilliant idea and execution.
I asked Steve to pose for me so I could have a fun picture to share—I couldn't be happier with the wonderful mirror image he created for me! I also have an inset today...it's ME sitting in the empty bronze chair back in 2013! What fun! :)
Pam, do you like to play chess? I love it but chess is a game which takes such a long time to play. I participated in online matches for a while but eventually I grew weary...I just don't have the time to contemplate all of the moves and look forward to the following possibilities, etc. It is a great intellectual pastime though! And my father—with his math-bent genius IQ—taught me as a kid and heh...beat me all the way up until he passed away at age 87. What a mind. Playing chess with my father made me feel like I was a cornered mouse being toyed with by a cat who likes to play with its food! LOLOL...well, I think it was nice that the smarts I got from my parents is all of the creative sort! Hope your day was a good one my dear! *BIG HUGS*

Nous sommes tous confrontés aux aléas du temps qui passe et qui passe trop vite parfois ne laissant plus la place à certaines occupations quotidiennes. Comme Ipernity qui demande beaucoup de temps libre pour répondre,voir et commenter ! Aujourd'hui c'est vous demain peut être nous, ainsi est faite la vie et je sais, nous savons,que lorsque vous aurez plus de temps nous vous reverrons sur nos pages !
Bon dimanche, Janet, et bonne préparations pour votre futur voyage !
Bonne soirée
Great photo.
Bon Dimanche.
Please don't worry about not commenting or visiting, I'm just delighted that you are happy with your life and enjoying yourselves. It sounds so much fun, cooking for the trip away, that's something I don't do, as I have to fly for holidays and that's a no-no on the flights. So you just carry on sweetie and just let us know how you are keeping.

I love the image in the PiP too..........there's a lot of thinking going on in that one - from the bronze side at least :-)))
I wouldn't worry about commenting etc. The amount of effort, thought and words you put in when you do comment more than makes up for the odd times when you can't..!!
Here an old photo from my archive
