Jientje from Heaven Is in Belgium, the creator of this meme, writes: "As long as people have been around, they have tried to communicate with each other. As a means of getting the message across as clearly as possible, idioms and sayings have found their way into our language. Now, because "a picture paints a thousand words", I thought it would be nice to make this a new photo challenge. The idea is to choose an idiom, or a saying, ( even slang is allowed) and illustrate it with a picture.



I've decided to try my hand at working with a theme each week. I'm not sure how successful I will be, especially since I'm not such a great photographer and often find myself madly scrolling through pictures taken ages ago just to have something that works with an idiom that I like; however, my mind works better when it has a theme around which to organize thoughts. It worked really well this week, but who knows what The Brain will grant permission for me to do next week? We'll just have to wait and see. . .

Pass the Time of Day means to make the time to stop for a relaxed and unhurried chat with someone. The Amazing Egyptian Dude, on the left in the back row, is exceptionally good at this one! The photo shows one of the many passing the time of day events that happen at our place of business. Notice the cup of coffee and glass of tea?
