Picture Mixture Tuesday: kids' digital footprint, bacon, 9/11, piano, gelato, more

There are lots of people in my area without power from yesterday and into today due to the remnants of Hurricane Irma passing north through the state of Georgia. Thank you, Linemen, for your dangerous but so important work!

Yesterday was the 16th anniversary of 9/11. On waking up that bright fall morning, millions never knew that in a few hours their families would be devastated, and our national security and psychology would never be the same.

A new trend, this precious moon nightlight!

I'm a vegetarian due to taste and preference issues (not philosophy). I rarely eat any meat and I dislike cooking bacon because of the mess. But this is funny. In the south, I hear many wives mourn the fact that they can't get their men to eat vegetables, and salads are practically anathema. This dish would be close to the truth in any proud southern home... ;)

I thought this was pretty. I'm getting set to do a musical instrument series. I shot this after church Sunday. The delicacy and beauty of a well-crafted instrument is wonderful to behold. When it is played skillfully by someone singing hymns to the Lord, it's even better.

Something to think about when posting pics of your kids on Facebook. Are you widening their digital footprint to the degree that their future privacy will be lost? More here.

Where is the best gelato in the world? Well, duh, Italy of course! After three years and many nations competing, one gelateria in Spoleto Italy has won. I'm not an ice cream fan but when you are in Italy tasting real gelato, your world will be rocked. More here on the winner.

Psalm 63:6-8

On my bed I remember you;

I think of you through the watches of the night.

Because you are my help,

I sing in the shadow of your wings.

I cling to you; your right hand upholds me

Have a great day!
