Text of the page (random words):
little shopping but what if the donuts came out and you weren t there people were watching the bakery door as if we were waiting for royalty to appear there she was everyone surged to the baker including a woman who had just arrived on the scene and nabbed the first box from the stack of white boxes that the baker balanced in her hands line jumper i was one of the lucky few the baker promised the disappointed that more were coming out she said she had already distributed 230 boxes that day one woman left for a few minutes and when she returned she saw the box in my cart she bemoaned her fate i just stepped away for a few minutes the last thing i needed was a donut i m not even a fan of donuts so why it must be in my genes to go after these freebies and bargains though i m not nearly as good or as devoted as my mother was my mother was an avid couponer and discount shopper one of her favorite activities in her last years was to get the weekly freebie at her local grocery store she accumulated points online to redeem the item that was offered for free every week i wasn t sure of the details but i saw the rewards because she handed them out to us she also got discounted gas since she didn t drive very often or very far she offered the discount to her children from out of town on one of my visits to her many years earlier when paper coupons were widespread i was just about to pull out of her driveway to go to the grocery store when she hurried out with three recipe boxes full of coupons organized by category and expiration date i had a recipe box like that too and almost never shopped without it i d hand coupons to my husband with his shopping list and he d forget to use them they d still be in his pocket when he got home sometimes i ve used not having a coupon as a reason not to buy something when i took my two young children to the grocery store they would beg for sugary cereal one child wanted to put a box of some luridly colored sugar cereal into our shopping cart i shook my head and said i don t have a coupon for that my two children walked up and down the aisles and wouldn t you know they found some coupons that someone had dropped and one was for sugary cereal did i buy it i think i had some other excuse not to maybe i said it was expired remember when coupons had no expiration date now that we don t subscribe to an actual newsprint newspaper we don t get advertising supplements full of coupons i doubt paper coupons even exist in any significant amount i don t want sign up to each company s website for discounts i do belong to a few grocery store shopping rewards programs maybe that s why when there is finally some discount or freebie i jump on it like a voracious weasel and today i was going for a free 1 5 quart carton of ice cream but when i paid i was 46 cents short of the 25 when all of the sales discounts were subtracted so horror of horrors i had to pay for the 3 99 carton of ice cream that i thought was going to be free when the items were all rung on the digital cash register self checkout i was a few dollars ahead but the cash register didn t ring up some of the discounts until after i checked out which took me below the 25 threshold i was robbed will i learn my lesson probably not share this email a link to a friend opens in new window email tweet share on tumblr print opens in new

is visible everywhere in central berlin germany and can also be seen in the suburbs my friend anita and i spent a couple of days in berlin germany in october 2024 we stayed in a hotel in central berlin which was in the middle of many historic sights including the brandenburg gate museum island the berlin wall historic cathedrals and churches and the holocaust memorial the central part of the city was easy to get around but if we ever got disoriented we had the looming presence of the television tower to guide us the television tower the fernsehturn was constructed between 1965 and 1969 by the government of the german democratic republic or east germany as both a functional broadcasting facility and a symbol of communist power it is the tallest structure in germany at 1 207 feet 368 meters including antenna and the third tallest structure in the european union when the sun shines on the fernsehturm s tiled stainless steel dome the sun s reflection sometimes looks like a greek cross berliners have nicknamed the luminous cross rache des papstes or the pope s revenge because the communist government had removed crosses from east berlin s churches in the photo in the top left of the collage two crosses appear overhead as seen from berlin s unter den linden avenue one atop the berlin cathedral dome and the other is the pope s revenge on the tiled stainless steel ball of the fernsehturm television tower the berlin cathedral also known as the evangelical supreme parish and collegiate church is a monumental german protestant church and dynastic tomb house of hohenzollern on the museum island in central berlin it is the largest protestant church in germany and one of the most important dynastic tombs in europe in addition to church services the cathedral is used for state ceremonies concerts and other events top right in the collage is st mary s church near the television tower the original construction of the building is unknown it was reconstructed in the late 19th century and in the post war period the church was originally a roman catholic church but has been a lutheran protestant church since the reformation in 1539 bottom right is the television tower s location next to alexanderplatz in the city s marien quarter part of the district of mitte visible across most suburban districts of berlin bottom center is the television tower looming over a street

are designed after vintage postal carriages hungary for literature sponsors the book carts my friend anita and i were wandering around budapest on a rainy day in october 2024 when we saw this colorful book cart the vintage cart which i later learned was designed like an old postal carriage was filled with numerous books when we got home from our trip i learned that the carts are operated by a non profit organization called hungary for literature they have nine book carts positioned in squares across budapest from which they sell hardbacks and paperbacks the books are mostly priced at 500 forints 1 50 with the aim of making reading more accessible to people i saw clerks sitting on step ladders in photographs that i saw online but there wasn t an attendant that day maybe due to the rain

the rock is about 40 feet high and 100 feet long this photograph was taken in april 2014 in 2017 the formation lost the end of the snout nothing in the world is permanent and we re foolish when we ask anything to last but surely we re still more foolish not to take delight in it while we have it w somerset maugham the razor s edge 1943 christiansborg palace tower view of stock exchange i haven t traveled on photography trips in more than a year but i ve working on the large file of photographs i took on older trips it s been a lot of fun re living these adventures and researching more about the places i traveled much of the information i ve learned recently would have been very helpful to know before i traveled oh well photography has been one way to for me to hold onto past experiences to enjoy the lost moments again maybe even for the first time because the camera captured more than what i saw plus you can t beat a free trip even if it is just in your head a good snapshot keeps a moment from running away eudora welty one of my 2024 new year s resolutions was to edit and post at least one photograph a day to my catherine sherman on fine art america website and so far i ve done that except for one day some of the sights i photographed no longer exist which prompted this blog idea for example in april 2024 the stock exchange building dating from 1615 in copenhagen denmark shown above from a photograph i took in july 2014 was severely damaged by a fire which toppled the 184 foot 56 meters spire of four entwined dragon tails many people enjoyed looking at this distinctive building the boersen or børsen in danish from the christiansborg palace tower where you could get a great view of the distinctive green copper roof and ornate unique spire copenhagen is known as the city of spires stock exchange building copenhagen denmark another sight that has changed since i photographed it is camel rock a sandstone formation resembling a seated camel near tesuque pueblo in new mexico the rock is about 40 feet high and 100 feet long this photograph was taken in april 2014 before the camel lost most of its snout which happened in 2017 the rock is easily visible from u s highway 285 north of santa fe new mexico exit 175 leads to the rock where visitors can park in a small lot and take a trail to the rock for a better view camel rock new mexico i like to
