Sunday Signage

I want a sign like this for my kitchen.

I want a sign like this for my kitchen.

Angry people are not always wise.

~ Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

When I was young, and quite possibly stupid, I would become passionate in my anger during some of the arguments between M and myself.  Consequently, objects (and implements) were known to suddenly take flight (and no, we did not have a poltergeist living with us).  When I saw this sign while out on our walk yesterday, I laughed and laughed, thinking how fun it would be to have such a sign in my kitchen.  I no longer throw things out of anger, but the occasional implement has been known to go flying out of my klutzy hands when I’m prepping food.

Sign on the restroom/washroom building by the Towpath Trail.

I’ve never before seen a sign warning about the dangers of using the loo.  I’d hate to be in there when that alarm goes off.

Good advice

Yesterday M and I went up to Cleveland to visit with friends who recently moved up that way into a lovely condo overlooking Lake Erie.  We had a great time which, unfortunately, was shortened a bit this morning due to illness.  I’m not feeling too well.

318: Back to the woods

I had a Sunday signage post all planned for today, but after taking my walk this morning I decided to take you back to the woods with me.  It’s so beautiful back there, especially now that the seasonal light is changing just a tad.

That is some expensive chicken.  But it is the Original Chicken so I suppose it might be worth it.  We saw this sign in New Cumberland, Pennsylvania during our last trip out that way in July.

297: Sunday Signage

A novel approach to "Keep Off the Grass." Taken at Idlewild near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

I almost forgot to post today!  Yikes.  The past two days have been incredibly relaxing, with nothing on my schedule.  I do a better job of keeping track of my blog posts when I’m busy, it seems.

The photo was taken at Idlewild when we were there on July 9th with our granddaughters and their parents.  A fun time was had by all.  If you ever happen to be in the Pittsburgh area with small children accompanying you, Idlewild is a great place to take them.  They have a lot of rides that are just right for a 6 year old and a 2 year old.  You can even ride a trolley through Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood.  I wonder if children in the future will even know who Mr. Rogers was.  In addition, the park has been around since the 1800s and is well shaded by some magnificent trees.
