Spotted in passing

The other day the Husband and I were in town running some errands when we spotted this somewhat puzzling sign:

Adoption made easy?

 

It can’t be a bad translation from German, because it doesn’t work in German either. Also, you would have thought that this particular company would have access to a competent English speaker somewhere up the chain.

American apparel but pidgin English

In case you’re wondering, we decided not to. One can go overboard with these impulse buys.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Two

Photo taken in February of 2011 in Crystal River, Florida

I haven’t done a photo challenge in a while but thought the current subject would be the perfect excuse to share this great picture taken by the Husband.

It’s two manatees, two reflections, two elements — but also about the two of us. When asked at the end of last year for our highlight of 2011, we both independently answered: Swimming with the manatees! And then looked at each other semi-guiltily because 2011 also happened to be the year we got married. But I think the very fact that we have the same priorities is also the secret to our happy relationship (eleven years and counting). And the manatees really were absolutely amazing.
