2022 Summer Photo Scavenger Hunt

 I had so much fun with last year's summer photo scavenger hunt (hosted by Patio Postcards!) that I decided to join in this year too!  I started pretty late-- at the end of June but since I had all of June photos on my laptop still I culled through those as well as adding to them throughout July, August, and even into September! 

The 2022 SPSH List:  

Path

Hiking Lonesome Lake Trail in New Hampshire


Peek-A-Boo

This giraffe looked like it was playing peek- a - boo with us on the Kilimanjaro Safari Ride at Disney's Animal Kingdom park.

Stairs

Stairs leading up to Grotto Falls hike in Smoky Mountain National Park, Tenn.


Something That Looks Like A Number or Letter

The center of the water feature at EPCOT looks like a giant "o"

A Corner

A corner of our hotel at Universal Studios 

Leaf Vein

The veins on the hydrangea leaves. 


Sipping On

Sippin on some Butter Beer at Universal Studios 


Changes Shape When Wet

Water makes all these limestone cave formations and they are constantly changing shape


OMG, The Shoes
It may be fall but I'll keep wearing my flip flops anytime the sun comes out!


Yellow & Blue Together

Loved these yellow kites against the blue sky at Dollywood


Fuzzy Wuzzy Texture

Pretty purple flowers with lots of fuzz


All Gone, Empty

With drought like conditions so many of our waterways/ swamps are empty!


Left Overs

I often eat leftovers from dinner for lunch.


Wind Power

A windchime in Conway, NH


Oh So Colorful

Soft serve ice cream sundae from Buck's


Out of Place

Pandora at Animal Kingdom not only makes you feel out of place but out of this world!


In The Distance

Mountains seen from our balcony in Lincoln, New Hampshire


Culture, Yours Or Another

African Drummers at Disney's Animal Kingdom park


You Grew It, Made It

A few graduation gift card holders I made



Invokes A Childhood Memory

We went to Dollywood this summer and I hadn't been since I was kid.


Add, 1-2 To Change The Taste

Adding just one packet of ice tea mix to the water completely changes the taste

Alt A: Recent Purchase

Water was not only a recent but a very frequent purchase the week we were in Florida


Alt B: Sunset

Sunset seen from the balcony of our house rental in Tennessee 


Alt C: Free Choice

The flaming dragon at Universal Studios

    What a fun way to share some photos. A bit like our family's word a week photo challenge, it makes you think outside the square a bit! Fabulous selection.

    That was so cool to read and view Joanne. Love your card making too. I know you are a scrapbooker. I am/have been but I am more 'messy" than neat. Thanks so much for linking up this week for Wednesday’s Words and Pics Link Up.

    Looking forward to connecting with you more again soon.

    Next week, I am back with my story about following my heart!

    Warmest wishes,

    Denyse.

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...

Dollar Store Candy Cane Wreath

Image
Today I am linking up with some fellow bloggers for a Dollar Store craft challenge.  I don't often participate in these challenges since I try to stay away from our local Dollar Stores; I find they can be quite dangerous for me!  I knew this was the perfect time to find some inexpensive holiday decorations though and I just LOVE how my wreath turned out!  I hope you stop by and see what the other hosts are sharing. Meet this month's co-hosts! Across the Blvd | Purple Hues & Me This Autoimmune Life | Our Unschooling Journey Domestic Deadline | Sew Crafty Crochet Stone Cottage Adventures | Sum of Their Stories | Two Chicks & a Mom I bought the candy cane wreath base and a few rolls of mesh (not knowing how many I'd need I bought waaay to many; I only ended up using one white roll and one red roll. Using some chenille stems I already had on hand I attached the mesh to the wreath base trying to alternate the whit...

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 ...

It's the second Monday of the month which means it's time for the Share Our lives link up. This month for the Share Our Lives link up we're sharing where we like to shop. I struggled a bit with this prompt since it's so open ended. I thought I'd list my "top 3" stores in various categories. inside our local Market Basket Groceries: Market Basket Price Chopper Stop and Shop For Gifts: Amazon (free shipping to family that lives far away is fabulous!) Local independent stores/crafters The mall--typically the end stores like Macy's, JC Penney, etc.  For the Home/household goods: Target Amazon JCPenney The mall I went shopping in this July for my birthday For Clothing (for me!): Those same end stores at the mall Stitch Fix Amazon Clothing for my guys: Carhartt (for my husband and oldest son) Old Navy (for Evan) Kohl's/Amazon (for Alec) For fun: Stampin' Up! Michael's craft stores Hobby Lobby  I hope you'll join us next month when we look at ...
