...feeling yucky

So it was with best intentions that I started this photo a day challenge but I have had to write off the last few days.  I have a sore throat and I think a fever and just generally feel crappy and Patrick is out of town, so I have to an adult and deal with it!  Can't play the "pity" card!   So hence, no picture taking for me.  I will try to pick again soon!

Day 12 - From A Low Angle

The Gargoyles of Notre Dame

Day 11 - Door

The door to the "Forbidden Garden"
The common area of our apartments where
dogs are NOT allowed!
(also not allowed - noisy children, things with wheels, sitting in the grass....
basically anything fun!)

Day late - oops!

Day 10 - Best Bit of Your Weekend

Kids home from their week long school trip!  Safe in their own beds!

Day 9 - Your View Today

Posted a day late!

Storm clouds brewing on my drive to get the kids

Day 8 - Six O'Clock

View out the window at 6 p.m.

Really couldn't think of anything else for the "Six O'Clock" theme.......

Day 7 - Drink

My new "go to" beverage

I used to drink at least 24 oz. of soda a day....sometimes more!  Since moving, I still enjoy a soda now and then, but I have found a new love.  In all the grocery stores here they have multiple flavors and brands of syrup.  You can find expected flavors like Strawberry, Lemon, Raspberry and my favorite Grenadine.  But they also have some not so common flavors like Mint (tried it - tasted like mouthwash.  Yuck!) and Peach Tea.  They are inexpensive and most stores have their own brand which I have found taste as good as the higher end brands.

Just  mix a dollop of syrup with some fizzy water and you have a homemade soda!  Since I have started drinking this "concoction",  I find when I do have a soda I can barely finish it because it is too sweet!  The locals actually use this syrup to flavor milk (sounds blah to me!) for the kids as well as water.
