Photos of the Week: July 17th

 The summer is just flying by and I am having so much fun joining in with Lysha and her challenge each week.  Almost all of my photos this week are from our Maine trip.



– torn-- We found a stand selling homemade ice cream and I was so torn over what flavor to try



– newsprint-- I was totally stumped by this prompt and finally just settled on taking a photo of all the flyers we get in the mail.




– connected-- This bridge connected two sides of the marsh to make one really long walk. 



– curved-- I love how the water curved around the land. 



– your choice-- Morning fog on the lake

      LOL. It was definitely not a weight friendly weekend away. (as that is only one of the two ice cream cones I got on that trip!)

    We took a trip to Maine 3 years ago and fell in love with it! So much unique beauty there. Your pictures capture it so well.

      I thought so too; I saw that curve in the water and just knew it would be perfect.

    I can't decide if your interpretation of "torn" or the "curved" photo is my favourite. "Curved" is just a stunning picture.

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...

Prime Purchases in April 2025

Image
 It's the first Monday of the month and time for Prime Purchases. I didn't buy all that much this month; just 2 orders!  My biggest purchases were Evan's textbooks for next year (which I'll share later in the spring when I show what he's studying for his senior year). I did order a few things for the rest of the family and bought a couple of "just for fun" stuff for me. My husband loves these click belts but his old one was all worn out so he asked me to get him another one.   I bought some of these large command hooks for Alec's dorm room for next year.  I was told we were out of these probiotics.   I bought myself this National Parks color by number book and this National Parks word search book.   And finally I bought myself these earrings- - I LOVE them!

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 ...

Louisville, Kentuckey Girls' Trip days 3 & 4

Image
 Sunday morning we had a later start to our day, deciding to meet Amy at Biscuit Belly at 10:30. I ordered sweet tea, a fruit/yogurt/granola bowl, and some Bonuts (donuts made from biscuit dough) that came with bourbon cream cheese frosting.   From there we took two cars to head out shopping; stopping at 2 different stores.  After shopping we stopped at BoomBozz to get some appetizers to share then Amy headed home while the rest of us piled into Maria's car and headed out sightseeing in downtown Louisville. We stopped by a park to look at all the bridges. Then headed to the Louisville Slugger Museum to see the giant bat.   From there we headed back to the rental and hung out until it was time for Tanya to go to the airport. Maria and I drove her while Amy hung out back at the house with Marilyn and Jenn. After Maria and I got back we all just hung out snacking, talking, and laughing until we were all ready to call it a night. In the morning Marilyn, Jenn, M...

Currently in May

It's the first Monday of the month and time for the currently link up with Jennifer.  This month we'll be talking about what we're currently loving, looking forward to, leaving behind, letting go of, and looking at.   Loving: Having whole family dinners now that Alec is back home. We also had a lovely belated birthday party for Ian this past weekend.  Alec has been planting seeds, we sorted through all the totes he brought home from college and already started re-packing for next year. He's back at work and settling into being home with us. Looking forward to: This is the time of year my attention turns to our yard, deck, and patio. I am looking forward to eating outside and soaking in the sunshine. I also can't wait for the flowers to start blooming-- we have some early blooms like forsythia already.  Leaving behind: I sure hope we're leaving all the ice and snow behind us for spring and summer; we did have a couple of small storms in April.  Letting go of: Al...
