Week Eleven

Tailored

1. Made by a tailor; custom-made.

2. Simple, trim, or severe in line or design

As you can see I'm going with a loosely with the first definition.  This is the LDS Temple in San Diego, Ca.  It is hardly simple, but incredibly beautiful and definitely custom-made.  It's architecture is amazing and the grounds match it's beauty.

Next Week:   Honey

Week Ten

Nail

1. A slim, pointed piece of metal hammered into material as a fastener.

2. a. A fingernail or toenail.

    b. A claw or talon.

My daughter and I hopefully polished our toenails the other day.  Maybe, just maybe, it will warm up so we can show them off in more than play shoes before it wears off.
