Odd ones out...

Such gorgeous days, so much beauty, so many photos and so little time...
I scraped together a whole bunch of "odd ones" and collected them for Monday´s post.
Here goes:


Odd as it is indeed - I here give you a few shots from my work day, Sunday.
No, your eyes aren't failing you, I said work day. No kidding!


Here I am in action!
My usual work day consists of dealing with staff, visionary work, meetings, budgets and that sort of thing. Every now and then, however, I do fun stuff. Like this: announcing the magical clown Jumping Joe!


Family Day at the library I manage and while a lot of action was going on, 
the info desk had its usual tasks as well.


Well, behold indeed, I may never get into a mood where I share work pics again...


My boy loved the day! 
(so, it was like the grey zone of being in a work day as well as being with family).




Behind the book shelf - this is an unordinary sight.


We got up close with the clown afterwards.




He offered some more magic!


I also took the opportunity to read to kiddos there. A marvelous day!


Going home afterwards, my heart was as warm as the setting sun looked.
Those are the days when I LOVE my job and truly remember why I chose the profession.


Goofing off with the camera - just for fun. I adore doing things just for fun!!


Looky looky, looks like a peace pigeon flying!


It looks almost like New York. But - alas - it's a small town close to ours, where I lived a few years as a child. Beautiful though.


Our town.






So, it finally happened: I felt good enough about work to share some of it with you. As unusual as strange and rare. That I know.
I'm a little overwhelmed by it all so words are few, letting the photos do the talking.


Instagrams for you now:


A regular Saturday morning could look like this, 
if we're lucky enough to get to borrow our TV...!


Bicycling home from school, The Boy stops to clap his hands and sing.


"Good night sweet boy, sleep tight!"


Now if there was ever a moment in time, this is it!
I took this pic by mistake.


Going back and forth in the car...


... on those beautiful southern roads.


A few hours of pure luxury, in the middle of a 12,5 hour work day.
My hair artist is the freakin' best there is!!


I'm so thankful for her.


The hubs wanted to see what I got done, 
so he got this pic in a text.


Morning moon over our house.


Un-filtered gorgeous sun rise.






Everyday life: grocery shopping.




I visited The Boy's school on Friday and got to see him learn, speak in front of the class and see him weave. A great day.


After jogging, the dog is tired.


Yeah, like really tired-tired...!!




Odd blog post out, eh?! It's on me.
Monday again. Have a great Monday, folks!

"When the going gets tough..."

When the going gets tough, the tough get going...
Yeah, it's time to go back to work. I will be tough and I won't look back! I've done some working on my inner dialogue during these five weeks of vacation and now it's showtime.
I'm hoping you're all with me in spirit!


Having said that I'll marvel at how right my grandfather was when he concluded that the only thing in life we can be sure of, is that nothing ever turns out the way we think.
I suppose there's some comfort in that, aswell as a scare, of course...


I don't really have enough time on my hands today to give you an update on our weekend's adventure but I do have some instagrammies and an occasional regular photo for you.
I hope you'll enjoy!

Now, writing this, a dog wants some attention, a boy needs to be put to bed and a husband wants some on-the-couch-watching-a-movie time...


"When the going gets tough, the tough get going". 
I'm just sayin'.

The evening before we left The Boy took a bath practicing diving in the tub.
He managed to take a nasty fall and hence got some tougher practice than he bargained for...


Arriving the evening before the full day at the theme park, 
The Boy's best friend awaited!


Sweet reunion.


Walking to the theme park, the next day, we walked through the camping site.


Lots to see there too...



And now the instagrammies of the trip:



The evening before I chose to get ready by looking at our old photo that was part 
of a joke on our very wedding invitation!


On the road. A sliver of blue sky in all those clouds.






There's not much else to do than to instagram, at road trips 
in the passenger's side...


Chilling works too!


We're here. 
Our "street"!


Our very good friends were happy to see us, and we them!


Kiddos totally happy!!


Sitting outside rather late in the summer-goes-autumn evening.


Had you already guessed it? 
It's a COWBOY theme park :-)


A lone ranger taking the aim...


Tired folks stopping for something to drink.


BBQ in the evening.




Unusual silhouettes.


Going back again, after two nights away.






-Are we home soon?


Not so very far from our part of the universe, there was this very un-Scandinavian sign.
Felt like the theme park all over again!



You'll be presented the rest of the photos from our fantastic little trip to The Wild West, rest assured.
I can guarantee you that when the going gets tough - the tough get rough!

'Til then: have a good start of the week & howdy, folks!
