Loose Change
“If I could turn back time…” Would I spend it any more wisely? And if I did, would I like that person as well as this one. Feeling ambivalent and contemplative about returning to CST. Pondering all the time I’ve wasted this year. As I outline a few ambitious projects for November and December, I recalled this scrap of a poem I wrote so many years ago called: Loose Change I wonder at my…
No Gilded Cage for Gilded Cup
(Originally published in Victoria Magazine, 2008 under a different title) …I broke another one this morning. Now, I’m down to one. I raise it now to sip hot dark amber from its gilt-edged porcelain mouth. Gently, I set it back in place in its own saucer. I am sometimes tempted to put it up – this well-traveled survivor of family treks across England and the United States – but I can’t. …I don’t…

#perlesbham Stopped by @scottmillerprojects downtown last evening for the @kathryn.kampovsky opening reception. #art #perlesjournal #gallery #inbirmingham #photooftheday https://www.instagram.com/p/CqdAS6_rs_x/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
#perlesjournal First stop @marketatpepperplace this morning. The only thing I really needed was honey. And I only buy it in glass jars. Wallace Homestead (veteran owned) filled the bill. Although he had the ubiquitous plastic, he had glass. Visited awhile at the community table on @richardtubbinteriors porch.But on my way out I spotted the It’s Tamale Time tent. And a tamale is one of my favorite breakfasts, so took one to go. And then there were the eggs all gorgeously pastel colored at the Stone Hollow Flower Farm Flowers. Had to have them. And then there were baby goats,so had to go for the ‘awww’ shot. Headed home around 9 w a brief stop at @publix midtown for a few essentials. And not so Essentials - Majool dates. Happy Saturday y’all. #inbirmingham #perlesbham #farmersmarket #shopping #shoplocal #honey #eggs https://www.instagram.com/p/CqN3nWkrEgW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
#perlesjournal New shoes. Had to put them on immediately for my trip downtown. Same as I did as a kid when new shoes made you run faster, jump higher... I discovered Ecco Sandals in 2004 prepping for a 4 day 3 night all expenses paid trip to NYC for 2. As I had just told my SO where to go and how to get there, I took my sister. Best choice ever. We had a blast. First class air and room at the Ritz Central Park. Anyway. The sandals were, still are amazing. I’d forgotten about them. But last year I scored a pair at Von Maur (the blue pink sporty ones). They walk amazing, with great sneaker-like tread and arch support. And. As I’m back to my morning walkabout, and so many summer outdoor events coming up, I went searching for more. And voila @amazon provides. Got a gorgeous red pair. And looking further I found black on sale for $74. The red were $110. And. As every time I find a favorite shoe, it is eventually discontinued, I’m going to buy 2 maybe 3 more of each red and black and store them for futures. Happy Thor’s Day y’all. #photooftheday #shoes #sandals @ecco #walk #perleswalkabout #shopping. https://www.instagram.com/p/CqJoMjUrOzm/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#perlesbham @innisfreebham enjoying an amazing free breakfast catered by Chris Z. Even the coffee is good. The bagpipes are supposed to start at 8, but they’re warming up under the outside tent right now. Not sure I’ll have room for the free lunch later downtown, but I’ll give it a shot. After all that’s 5 hours from now. Happy #stpatricksday y’all. If you haven’t had breakfast yet come on down. The beer taps are flowing for those who are not headed to an office later. #photooftheday #inbirmingham #perlesjournal https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp4_s2wrU3b/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#perlesbham Enjoying this perfect weather at the Taste of Homewood in SoHo Square since a little before 5. Some of the samples would qualify as a hearty appetizer. Also sampled several local beers. And a few wines. Now sitting ringside with a generous beer pour of Muchacha Beer, sipping and people watching. I swear I’d never be able to get away with anything. Didn’t even need to flash my ticket to the chorus of “Hi Perle” that greeted me at the ticket table. Chatted a bit with my @homewoodpublic Library ladies. They had a table too. I’m a bit overstuffed,but not miserably. But. One more beer and one more mingle, and I’ll be heading home. Gotta a good book and my own beer waiting for me there. Shoutout to the City of Homewood for a fun event. #homewood #food #photooftheday #urbanlife #bohostyle #perlesjournal. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp3mKQaL_GO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#perlesaerie One moment it's 11:45 p.m. on a Saturday night, and in the next, it is 12:45 a.m. Sunday morning. I moved my watch & stove clock forward, so I won't forget later at bed time and oversleep on the morrow. My iPhone and computer manage on their own. Strange thing, time. There are days that pass in the time it takes for an ordinary three, and others pass in the seeming blink of an eye. But, as we have only the clock to tell the time by, there’s no real way to prove how interminably longer one day is from the other. I’m reminded of Einstein’s train, and some days I feel as if I’m on on that train and holding on for dear life. #photooftheday #clock #daylight #time #spring #perlesjournal #bohostyle #art https://www.instagram.com/p/Cprd1ySsaG_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
