Weekly Photo Challenge: Wall

Weekly Photo Challenge: Wallbathroom wall

The United Kingdom stretches from floor to ceiling and beyond. Shrewsbury can be found just over the toilet paper roll. London barely squeaks in above the floor in the corner under the towel rack and to see Edinburgh you must stand with your head at the ceiling.

It has taken some getting used to, this bathroom papered in maps.

But, exiting the shower gives one lovely view of Alaska and while washing my hands I often think of my cousin living in British Columbia.

The walls are a bit “busy” but Finland can be perused in it’s entirety while brushing your teeth and what a treat to view the Alps every time you head out the door.

It took a few bathroom geography lessons with the girls before the maps really started to grow on me but now I’m convinced. The crazy, chaotic, map covered walls are here to stay.

So, if you ever need to know the bus Routes in Helsinki, give me a call. I’ll check the bathroom.

Clara had just gotten her hair cut.

If you don’t know Clara you should pop over and read That Girl… to familiarize yourself with my fantastic middle daughter who’s known more for her death defying tricks than her fashion conscious lifestyle. 

She waltzed out of the hair salon with her newly cut, styled and glittered hair and as she buckled up in the truck I looked back at her and said, “Clara, I like your braids!”

“Yeah,” she said with a toss of her head, “they’re French.”
