Friday Musings

Why is it that when I am taking photos, especially of my grandchildren, I capture the most peculiar facial expression OR someone walks in front of me just before I can capture that perfect shot.

Case in point. . .

No one asked the boys to make ugly faces or said anything to them that would produce such facial expressions. I swear they were both smiling before the shutter snapped. Geez

When you see someone with a camera pointed at someone they are probably going to take a picture, could you wait just one moment? Womp Womp

While reading the paper the other day I came across an article with this header;

Woman, 80, swallow diamond at Florida charity event

It seems that a Woman's club was hosting a charity event, for $20 dollars you bought a flute of champagne and a chance to win a $5,000, diamond that was one carat in size.

Three hundred ninety nine glasses had cubic zirconium stones in the bottom of the glasses while the four hundredth glass contained the real diamond.

Organizers hovered around two tables that they believed the winners to be sitting at waiting for someone to squeal with joy. While waiting with anticipation for the winner to speak up, they were told that Miriam Tucker swallowed what was in her glass.

After a colonoscopy and retrieval of the stone, they went to a jewelry story to have the diamond cleaned and verify that the stone was real. (I want to say, NO SHIT, but that would be inappropriate.) She plans to make a necklace for her granddaughter who is thirteen, lucky little girl.

You can read the entire Associated Press article here.

On Thursday, Miriam, her daughter, and granddaughter appeared on the David Letterman show.

And that my dear blog friends is what is making me scratch my head and wonder why?
