My World #20

This is my posting for the My World meme . It is hosted by Klaus, Tom, Ivar, Sandy, Wren, Louise and myself. Last week there were over 100 people showing their worlds to us. Won't you join in, I want to see where you live and thrive. Here is part of 'My World'.

Something a little different this week. I have been spending a lot of time inside from the Angioplasty operation so I have not planned as well this week. I was driving around town a few weeks back and thought I must capture this car. A University of Michigan fan lives in the Ohio area; Ohio Plate. You can see that from the license plate holder and the window sticker who they cheer with. The yellow sticker above the plate is the third way to tell who they like. It says "OHOWIHATE OHIO STATE". I guess we deserve it the way Ohio State has treated them the 2000's. The funny part is the Cleveland Indians sticker on the bumper. Number is omitted to protect the foolish.
We actually had some sun this week and I captured a tree shadow in the back yard. Our snow should be gone by the end of the week.
We may have turned the bend to get to Spring. There are a few weeks to go and it should really be a happy time for me.

    Do you have more snow than we have? Or is that just an old photo? LOL

    What good eyes you have to catch all those clues to who cheers for whom. ;-)

    Ah, your backyard looks just like ours did a week ago. I think we're all yearning for a little color, a little warm sunshine! Love the shadow! And you do have good eyes!! Take care, enjoy and have a great week!

    I'm sorry that you had to have an operation. I read down to your posts about what happened and I hope your recovery will be swift. I enjoyed your shots for this my world post.

    Glad you are taking good care of yourself, Tom... I'm surprised that the Michigan fan doesn't get his car KEYED there in Ohio... They would probably do that here in TN if a FL Gator car lived here --and if it said, "I hate the Vols". ha ha

    Hope you didn't get too much snow today. This latest snow missed us totally --as it went all the way around us.

    Take care, Tom.

    I keep telling Mr Wren we need a second set of license plates for our trips to Ohio. :)

    Fishing Guy, glad you are up and about now and on the mend. I love the license plate story with the car motifs.

    Here's a quick story. My brother Harold who graduated from Michigan State lived in Colorado and got a license plate in green and white there that said STATE in honor of Michigan State! So one day my brother was filling up with gas at a station in Denver when a car flies into the gas station behind him and a man jumps out screaming at my brother "So we finally meet! You God damm fool!"

    My brother is wondering what's going on with this crazy guy and why he is obviously mad at him and what in the world did he do to set him off like this.

    Well, the guy was a big Colorado State fan and I guess for years he had been trying to get the Colorado designer plate that said STATE but my brother had already taken that designer plate option. My brother then had to explain to this rabid Colorado State fan that yes he had STATE on his license but it was for Michigan State not Colorado State.

    Moral of this story is this: watch out, college fans get a little crazy and rabid about their favorite college team. LOL!

    Tom : I m kicking myself for having missed out on that "cardiac catheterization and angioplasy" post of yours.

    I m so relieved to know that you are going fine and here's wishing you good health and a speedy recovery.

    Take care my friend, our prayers are always with you and your family...Thomas

    I really love the snow pic with the shadows - it's wonderful. I have had trouble with getting on your blog lately, but right now it worked just fine!
    I hope you're feeling better and back to normal very soon. Thinking of you!

    How are you doing after the operation? More and more people have such an operation and still it is always stressful if you have to undergo it. Your garden looks fine! It's winter so this is what we expect!

    Love the snowy backyard...as long as it's yours and not mine :-) I would be afraid to show distain for the local teams on my car...might get an extra ding or two in it by a rabid fan!

    Sounds like you have the right attitude about recovery: take it easy, but keep on moving. As for the bumper sticker, I never understood the mentality that some people have about hating other teams: can't they just like theirs.
