LEARNING SOMETHING NEW

We were out last night and I saw something I had never seen before. This license plate was super odd to me. So I looked it up and learned something new!

A license plate with "QQ" above the letters and numbers is a US Forces German plate, 

issued to US military personnel stationed in Germany. The "QQ" signifies a vehicle being exported from Germany, and these plates are a temporary measure allowing the individual to drive the vehicle before registering it in the US. Some of these plates may also have "USA" on them. 

Meaning: "QQ" indicates the vehicle is being exported from Germany.

Purpose: It serves as a temporary registration for US military members bringing a vehicle back from overseas, allowing them a grace period to get it officially registered in the US.

Issuing authority: These plates are part of a US military/NATO program for personnel in Germany.

WOOLY WORM

 

I think his shade of black means a cold winter!

DOES THIS

 Ask yourself

“Does this support the life 

I’m trying to create?”

READY

 You’ll never feel          ready,

         Because ready       isn’t a feeling.

                It’s a decision. 

A BEAUTY

 

NORTHER LIGHT OVER THE OHIO

 In the middle of watching the UK game John asked me to put my shoes on. Here I am in my flannel nightgown and house coat, so I put my Ugg's on we headed outside. And in a couple minutes we were on the top level of riverfront parking garage. Because there in front of us was the Northern Lights! In Owensboro, Kentucky!

And here is from Jasper, Indiana

What an amazing sight!

WINTER WARDROBE

 I currently have more cloths than I have had in a very long time. I have branched out and expanded my attire farther than I think I ever have in my adult life. It all still fits in my tiny coat closet, but it’s expanded. 

In the last couple years I have lost a good amount of weight, and although I still have farther to go on that avenue, I’m loving the results as to things fitting better. 

Today on my piece of the map we got snow! The earliest snow I have yet to see. But it caused me to dress like an Eskimo to keep warm. So out came the winter wear. 

Living in the Valley of the Sun most of my life limited my need for winter clothes. But here in the MidWest, it’s totally game on for winter wear. 

Fleece lined knee socks and leggings, layering tank tops, long sleeved tops and sweaters. Fingerless gloves, scarves and boots. Yep I have them all. In lots of colors. 

After work today, I happily laid out my outfits for the rest of the week. Right down to footwear and jewelry. Normal, I stress over tomorrow’s outfit right before I go to bed. But not this week. 

Here is to winter! The best season for fashion!

DAILY

I see the best of humanity.

I am so grateful for those who go above and beyond to support and care for others.

These people are the ones I place my gratitude and hope for the future in.

 

I see the worst of humanity. 

I am saddened and disgusted by these individuals. 

These people do not care for others and take no responsibility for their actions.

These people give me reason to question my fellow man.
