A few of you have asked me to post a photo of myself. Since I have no other post for today, here I am. Keep in mind this was taken with a point and shoot and is unaltered. I will look better after being photographed with a better camera and photoshopped. Stefan thinks I look as if I'm begging him to stay another week. Hmmm, what do you think?
We had a good morning in Chicago with a stop at Fox and Obel to stock up on bread. Afterwards, we had brunch at a new restaurant near U.I.C.. Then we took ourselves to Whole Foods. We should have stopped at an exercise place but, instead, came home. I had a nap.
See you soon!
Well hello! You look great.
ReplyDeleteI love Fox and Obel. I found it once when strolling in Chicago when i was there for a Pampered Chef conference. I love all the stuff you can find there.
ReplyDeleteA store here that we have that I love to go to is the Fresh Market. I feel like I'm in a candy store or a toy store when I'm there.
I think you're cute just as you are and don't need ANY photoshopping!!!
ReplyDeleteI don't know - - - when my kids have been here for a while, if I were in that pose, I'd be praying they were going HOME soon!
Gotta love 'em - - - gotta love it when our world returns to quiet!
You look great and it is so nice to put a face with the wonderful writing. Whole Foods...it is like a dream come true. Much better than shopping for clothes, in my estimation.
ReplyDeleteI think you look great...no need for photoshop!!
ReplyDeleteOh, and you left a comment on my post about how the old movies don't have all the steaminess so prevalent in today's movies. Like you, that's one of the reasons I like them so much. I really don't need to see nudity and graphic sex. I can understand what's going on without all that. Really, I'm not an idiot!! I really think that less is more.
Have a lovely week.
Hugs,
Patti
I think it is a fabulous photo of you, Now, we have a visual when we read your blog. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThere you are! You don't need a photo-shopping. :-) You are somewhat what I pictured you in my mind--funny how we form those images through what people write. And I think you might be thinking that toward your son. But off he will go. Sounds like you made the best of the time together, and was nice to have him there for the camera advice! Thanks for letting me know about the doll house!
ReplyDeleteYou look great. Thanks for sharing and you have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing my special blog friend's faces.. It makes me feel as if I know you better... You are a beautiful woman!!!! I used to hide from the camera (because of my weight).. But then I realized that I was still a good person --even if I was overweight.... George had something to do with that also --since he loves me for ME.....
ReplyDeleteHope you have a wonderful day tomorrow. Thanks SO much for sharing, Bonnie.
Hugs,
Betsy
I love Whole Foods! Alas, we do not have one near us.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a fab time!

ReplyDeleteSo nice to put a lovely face to your lovely blog!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, what a special post!! I am tickled pink!! Of course, I have been wanting to know what you look like. I think we all want to know what any of our close blog friends look like! But I would never ask you to post a picture, because some people don't want their picture on the web, and others are just uncomfortable with the way they look. You are a beautiful blonde with big blue eyes!! What a surprise, my mental picture of you was so different. Older, for one. Maybe I thought you would be older because you write very mature. But you look in your thirties, maybe forty! Isn't it funny how we can form a mental image of someone we've never seen, with no basis in fact? Now when I think of you and write to you, I will have the right picture in my head, and such a pretty one!
ReplyDeleteSo nice to finally put a face with the name and blog! You don't need photoshop, you look great!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing Bonnie!
I like this post and what a lovely photo of you! It's nice to meet you!
ReplyDeleteHi Bonnie!!
ReplyDeleteNow I can now put a face to the blog! You look fab!!
Great photo and good for you getting the new camera! It took me a while to get used to it after the old reliable point and shoot and the settings were daunting at first but now, thanks to all the great tips on sites like whiteonrice and pioneer woman, I am feeling like the Nikon is my friend and not my adversary. Have fun and thanks for letting us see your glowing face!
ReplyDeleteTerrific photo!!! He may be thinking you're begging, but I think you're just beautiful....no matter the pose.
ReplyDeleteBread? Did you say bread? I so love that...yum. And then a nap. Perfect ending for a perfect day.
Hello it is nice to meet you! I agree no need to photoshop. Sounds like a good day in the City! The Whole Foods by my house has a bar... that adds a new facet to shopping
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a wonderful visit and that a good time is being had by all. It is so nice to be able to connect a voice with its face. You have gorgeous skin! I hope you have a great holiday. Blessings...Mary
ReplyDeleteCute picture!! Isn't Fox and Obel the best? I love Chicago.
ReplyDeletelove that begging pose! thanks for showing us your face, it helps to know who we are chatting with. great idea
ReplyDeleteNice to see who you are! Glad you are enjoying your weekend.
ReplyDeleteMy #1 team???? I'm a Wisconsin Badger, through and THROUGH!
ReplyDeleteHubby is a Gator fan - - - so perhaps he would fit in well with your family.
Blogger is tempting me to be a bad girl today! Anyway, you have a very sweet face that seems to invite the world in with kindness, laughter, and empathy. Photoshop what!?!!
ReplyDeleteDearest Bonnie,
ReplyDeleteYou are so beautiful. Miss you very much.
xoxo
Nice to meet you Bonnie. If we can't all meet over a fantastic meal in each others kitchen this is the next best thing.
ReplyDeleteWell, hello! I'm happy to put a face to your words -- I think it's a fine photo of an evidently intelligent, warm woman. Thanks for posting it.
ReplyDeleteHi Bonnie! OH, it's so nice to see your lovely little face! And I think you look like you're talking to me!
ReplyDeleteThanks for popping in to see me.
Be a sweetie,
shelia :)
Well, pleased to meet you! you look great!
ReplyDeleteYour picture is lovely, Bonnie. I just hate to have mine taken and avoid it at all costs.
ReplyDeleteFox and Ebel is one of my favorite places when I come to Chicago to visit my daughter. I love to browse in there
How nice of you to share your picture; you look great!
ReplyDeleteRita
