Yesterday I went to work with it all gloomy and rainy.

When I left the sun was shining so brightly mere squinting was not doing the trick.  Especially since I drive West going home.

Rooting around in my purse, I couldn't find my sunglasses.  Then I remembered I'd left them in the van from our family excursion over the weekend.  I did however, have my son's bright yellow Finding Nemo sunglasses.

I don't think I made it a mile down the road before I gave up and put them on.

Too small, uncomfortably pressing on my face, slightly distracting with the frame in my peripheral vision.  Not to mention the annoying little tiny Nemo sticker on the upper corner of the left lens.

But the best reward of all was not the protection from the sun's glare.  Oh no.

It was the exaggerated looks of confusion and outright staring from the people in the other cars.

Took me back to the days of dressing up in my fanciest of clothes and galivanting around the small towns and countryside of SW Michigan with my friends Matthew & Dennis.  The looks we'd get from people. 

Oh, and here's a pic of a moth newly emerged from its crysalis.  My Mother In Law took it when we were on our family excursion at a local nature preserve.  The hand holding it is a field guide leading her and my daughter and a group on a nature walk.  My husband, son, & I were with another group doing some bird watching.
