Yesterday, I spent several vivid hours with my long-time friend, Deb, who has appeared in some previous posts (here, here, and here) (which I hope were vivid ones).
I’m using the word “vivid” because:
- Deb told me that somebody from our high school described her with that word.
- She was surprised that somebody remembered her that way.
- She IS vivid (for example, she is a glass blower AND she has dubbed herself a “Wild Woman of Welding”).
- It’s a great word, isn’t it?
In yesterday’s post, I mentioned that photos can fit many themes.
I’m not worried about these photos — which I snapped yesterday at Deb’s home in Cambridge and in the South End of Boston — fitting today’s theme.
Every picture tells a story, doesn’t it?
And because I often have music in my (air)head
… here’s some music for a Monday morning:

Many thanks to Deb, to Rod Stewart & Ron Wood, to Deb’s cousin Jim (who did the painting), to runners and cheerers everywhere, to Cinquecento, to our server, Danny (who — along with Deb — HAS NEVER HEARD OF “GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY“!!), to December Thieves and Albert Einstein, to the many vendors and artists at the SoWa Open Market in Boston’s South End, to Frozen Hoagies, to Cinder & Salt, to Folk Couture, to people and dogs who may have looked and felt tired for moments yesterday, AND — of course! — to you, for being exactly as vivid as you are, today.
Glass blowing and welding! Yes vivid! Yes I love that word too! I haven’t really described a person that way before but makes perfect sense 🙂
Thanks for this vivid comment, Kellie, which makes perfect sense to me
Love it Shut up ;D !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love the shut up too!
I am very happy that you did NOT shut up, and commented instead.
Really!!!!!!!!!!!!
Looks like you had a great time this weekend! Here’s to an even better week!
Here’s to you, Kate, and your vivid hopes for me!
It’s a dull day here, and these were very uplifting images.
I’m so glad. Thank you for this comment, which lifted up my spirits!
Love the photos – looks like you’re still having some decent weather there, love the whole street market atmosphere!
Diana xo
Love your comment (as usual), lovely Diana!
Great photos. Looks like you had a fun weekend and well deserved I’m sure
Thank you so much for your kindness, which came through very vividly in your comment.
It is what it is t-shirt haha
Yes, Alex! And you are what you are — always very welcomed here.
Nice pics 🙂 .Good to know that you have a good time .
And GREAT to see you here.
Yes, they are, Ann, every one. I think I’m a bit cold-shoulder about the concept of frozen hoagies from a food truck at a street festival, though. No place to ice them until you get them home to the freezer, but maybe I have the whole principle of their sell wrong.
Not so about the grit and grime of Rod and Ron on “Every Picture Tells a Story,” which still, 44 years later, makes me want to shout “Don’t It!”
I wondered what you would think of “Frozen Hoagies,” Mark, but could you really object to the concept of a vividly delicious ice cream sandwich with a choice of fresh baked cookies? Don’t it sound great?
It sounds great, Ann, even to my sugar-susceptible diabetic ears. Perhaps substiture the word especially for even.
What a great compliment it is to be told you are vivid.
Thank you, vividly.
