Another fun week with the I Spy photo prompts.  A few were a bit challenging but thinking outside the box helped me come up with some great shots this week. 


– Selfie (Quarterly shot)



– Outfit (Quarterly shot)



– Starts with Z-- We were so startled to see this snake zig zagging through the snow. 



– Between-- Ice growing on the grass between two sections of the waterfall.




– Your Choice

    How odd to see a snake this time of the year. I wonder what brought it out of hibernation?

      I can only assumed it was fooled into thinking early spring as it was pretty warm and sunny that one day; I don't know. It was odd and now it's freezing cold here.

    Great photos, but I can imagine how startled you must have been seeing a snake when they are least expected!

    What lovely photos, it does seem strange to see a snake in the snow, but then I've never seen a snake in the wild anyway. I do love your heart sweater.

      Unfortunately, we seem to come across snakes more often while hiking than we'd like.

    The snake is random and startling!

    A snake in the snow?! That seems like such a weird sight! We only see snakes here in the spring and summer, so it would be so odd to see one in the snow.

      I really do feel weird taking a selfie; I don't much like having my photo taken in general but selfies just seem like I can never get a good angle.

    I had to look again for the snake and found it! How amazing that they're out and about in the snow :). Great photos for the prompts.#lifethisweek

      I almost didn't see it at first either until my son pointed it out to me.

    I love the snowy 'your choice' pic as I've only seen snow once so it's a novelty for me!

    And the selfie of you is lovely. You look happy. Or contented rather.

      Having grown up in New England, I just can't fathom that as it seems like we see snow all the time!

    Now that would be a surprise seeing a snake in the snow. Love your selfie and your jumper! We call sweaters jumpers....

    I appreciated you taking the time to write a post and link it up for Life This Week on my blog this week. Thank you kindly. Denyse.

      I did know that sweaters are called jumpers in both England and Australia; though I always picture what we call jumpers for just a minute until my brain clicks into gear. I just couldn't resist this new one; even though I have that same sweater in navy and white I just loved the pop of red!

    Cute selfie and outfits! The snake and the interesting shapes of the ice on the grass are unexpected and different photos.

    Wow! I can't believe you captured the snake zigzagging -- impressive! And I love the "your choice" photo and the colours you have on in the selfie.

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 mainly through

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 boys were youn

Dorm Move In & Alec's Dorm Photos

Image
 Alec and I loaded up the car Wednesday morning. I was literally unable to sleep the night before thinking there was no way we were going to fit all his stuff ( see yesterday's post! ) into my car. But first try we got it all to fit! There wasn't really any room to spare but that's okay, we all fit and so did everything he wanted to bring with him.  Since Alec is in the honors program he got to move in 2 days before the rest of the school (on Thursday).. which meant we didn't hear a whole lot from the school on what to expect for move in day. We were told to be there anywhere between 10 am and 7 pm so we decided to shoot for the 10 am and give ourselves plenty of time. His roommate wouldn't be moving in until Saturday and Alec will have a full day of activities and meetings today (on Friday).  We did label everything with Alec's name, dorm name, and room # just in case and printed out a parking pass (again, just in case)-- none of which we needed to do but were
