It’s Like History

We had a lunch picnic last Sunday. We took a lot of photos. Hubby tried to capture the trees around us in black and white.

When we were looking at the photos, one of my kids said “It’s like history” referring to the black and white photos.

Here is a sample of one of the photos that he referred to:

Yes, this photo reminds people about the past, when we, as children, loved to run around, climb trees, sweat it out and play games with our friends.

Glamour Girls Alexa’s Flower

My MIL gave this to my eldest daughter for her to be able to arrange her stuff and avoid having these just lying on her table.

Glamour Girls Alexa’s Flower.

This is made of wires that were twisted to form a flower. On the wires, hair clips, photos, pins and other knick-knacks can be put either as storage or for decoration.

I expected my daughter to get excited with this one and use it right away with her mess stuff. The wire frame has been untouched since it was given last September. I may need to be more assertive with this, I think.

Grilled Stuffed Squid

Grilled Stuffed Squid

I haven’t tried doing this at home. I have tried grilling squid, yes, but not stuffed.

This seemed difficult to do, with the cleaning of the squid and thinking about the stuff to out inside. Of course, there is the trusted Google that will spit out probably hundreds of ways that this can be done, and yeah, there 46,700 posts about “grilled stuffed squid”.

My student GG loves havng this grilled stuffed squid. To think that he is a picky eater mean that this food is really special to him.This may not look too appetizing to some but to me, this is tops.

Naku sa totoo lang, masarap ito kainin ng naka-kamay at me kasamang hilaw na mangga at bagoong. Wagi!

Every Saturday, participants post photos based on a theme. The theme for this Saturday is RUIN(ED).

The first thing that came to mind was the photos we took when we all trooped to historical sites as a part of our home schooling lessons for History. I have posted entries here, here and here.

Photos of the entrance to Intramuros are in my other blog post about Ruin(ed).

My entry for ruin(ed) is this:

The sign at the gate of the church says:
