Insta --What?

So much of what we're doing daily is still errands.  Looking for this and that.  Along the way, I snap photos with the cellphone.  My major complaint with my son when he was traveling the U.S. was that he used his iPhone instead of a camera.

Eating crow here!  I finally get the convenience.

We found a great deli chain in Tucson -- Beyond Bread.  Yesterday we ordered curried chicken sandwiches on multi-grain.  Fabulous! 

And talk about fabulous -- you snap the photo, edit it with Instagram, post, send it to Picasa Web -- and here it is!

After lunch, we revisited a few antique malls looking for a small cabinet for the living room.  We struck out, but Craig wishes he'd saved those hundred paper wasp nests he removed from the backyard last summer.

Frida rules!  She's everywhere.

Oh my.  Kind of freaky.  No comment.

When I looked to check the price, try a little kindness was not for sale!  I snapped the photo as a reminder.

After the antique mall, we stopped at a fabric store to get some ideas for slip covering chairs.  Look what I found.  Guatemalan fabrics!  The store was manned by a 96-year old guy in a walker.  He said his sister was 102.  Her secret was that she never married.  Hmmmmmm.  That stop changed my mind about the chairs.  (It's too late to change my mind about marriage vs. longevity.  That train left the station 39 years ago.)  After doing the math, I'm forgetting about re-purposing.

This instagram actually dates back to last week in Tubac.  Maybe I'll head back there soon.  If I remember correctly, the town has an outdoor Nogales Mercado on Friday's.  Few people cross the border to shop in Nogales, Mexico now, so the shopkeepers bring their wares north.

 

This little farm sits on the eastern edge of Tubac.  

Rise and shine!  It's a brand new day.

Insta -- What?  My mother (forward left) and friends could never have imagined their photo would end up in a world called Instagram in 2013.

The miracles of the modern world!
