Photos of the Week: June 5th

 Even though I didn't have a full week to concentrate on the I Spy photography challenge this week, I still think I did a pretty good job completing all the prompts. 

– floral print-- I don't have many things in the house with a floral print but then I remembered one of my favorite bags had this pretty floral print.



– orange-- I saw these orange flowers on my daily walk and thought they'd be perfect for this prompt. 




– starts with F-- I was torn between Falls and Flume for this one; I finally settled on Kedron Flume.




– fork-- I decided to try having some fun with forks and looked for a few ideas of things to try online.  




– your choice-- Walking around the garden the other day,  I snapped this photo of one rose bud.

    That is a pretty bag and those flowers are too. That is a clever idea with the forks. So cool. x

    Beautiful pictures Joanne. Love the rose bud! I planted a bare root climbing rose this spring and while it seems to be doing well, there are no buds. Maybe next year! The fork photo is so creative! Love it!

      Thanks! I was surprised the rose bush is doing so well. I have never had so many blooms and I didn't do anything with it at all.

    Oooohhhh --- I love your fork picture! And I think those orange flowers are columbine which are some of my favourite flowers -- they're so different and unique. Your floral bag is really pretty!

    A wonderful selection. Love the bag, and your fork arrangement is very creative. Looks like your orange flower is one of the deciduous azaleas like ilam. Love your woodsy pic of the flume too, I can just about smell the air! CarolG

    Clever photos of your week! The forks are unique. Haven't heard 'flume' in a long time.

    I'm happy you chose to share your link at 'My Corner of the World' this week!

Favorite TV Shows Growing Up in the 80's and early 90's

Image
Do you remember the TGIF lineups on Friday nights? I can remember planning sleepovers and time with friends around TV Show lineups of our favorite shows... or else trying to set the VCR to record our favorite shows if we weren't going to be home. And through the years I had SO MANY favorites! Growing pains aired in 1985 which put me around age 8 and it stayed on the air until I was 15 or so; I'm pretty sure most people in my age group watched mostly for Kirk Cameron and all his antics.  I still have a soft spot for family sit-coms!  The Facts of Life aired when I was just 2  and stayed on the air until I was 11 so I'm sure the episodes I remember so fondly were either some of the later ones and then reruns shown later on when I was old enough to watch from the beginning. I think everyone would have loved an Edna Garret in their lives.   Benson another sitcom that began airing when I was just 2 and was done by the time I was 9 (another one I must have watched mai...

Things That Make Me Laugh

Image
I loved the challenge of this week's list for our 26 lists link up.  I don't know about you but I really need to laugh more lately.  It's such a great stress reliever. 1.  Books-- I love a good funny book that makes me laugh out loud.  I haven't read one in a while but if you have any recommendations I'm all ears.  The last book I can remember making me laugh was the Un-Honeymooners. 2  The boys being silly. 3.  Watching shows like America's Funniest Videos or Family Feud. 4. My husband.  Most people don't realize it but he's actually pretty funny and often makes me laugh. 5.  Whenever my sisters/ family get together and we get to reminiscing (particularly if my Aunt Elaine is around) we end up laughing so hard at all the old family stories that we are all in tears by the end of the night.  It's fabulous. 6. Movies like Mom's Night Out, Christmas Vacation, and Grown Ups make me laugh out loud. 7.  When my ...

10 Most Popular Posts of All Time

Image
Each year near the end of December/ beginning of January I share the top 10 posts of the year but this year, in particular, I have noticed some much older posts that are still bringing in lots of pageviews and thought it would be fun to look back and see a top 10 list of all time.  I started my blog in June of 2012 and while so many of my first posts were long blocky, chunky rambles without any real photos of us and our family I just can't bring myself to delete any of them as I really do enjoy looking back and seeing how my blog has change and grown over time. Not surprisingly all my top 10 posts are from more recent years.  I love to look at what is popular and try to figure out WHY each post is so popular. Most of the time I can't but I love to speculate anyway.  10. Our 2022 Disney/Universal Trip Day 1 & 2 has almost 2000 views. Who doesn't love Disney and the Magic Kingdom? 😊 9. My Would You rather; Fall Edition had well over 3,000 pageview. I do, however, thi...

Weigh- In Wednesday: Protein Bowl Recipe

Image
After rejoining Weight Watchers, I knew I wanted to reinstate my Weigh- In Wednesdays posts. On the third Wednesday of every month I'll have a new post/party up for everyone to share workout tips, weight loss thoughts and ideas, and healthy recipes to fuel us on our journey to better health.  I feel like I've been doing decently well with focusing on organic, whole foods and while I can't say I've seen any huge changes in body mass/weight/muscle mass/etc. I do feel like I have more energy (which is a good thing since I spend SO MUCH more time in the kitchen making/prepping food). Overall I have shed 4 or 5 lbs that I've been keeping off so I'm happy with that. Now that spring is arriving we should be able to get out more for longer hikes and exercise and I can't wait!   I got into such a habit of just eating my fruit/yogurt/granola bowls each morning and I've been making a real concerted effort these past few months to try new things. One of my favorites...
