Talking About It Tuesdays #6

I hope the intro to February is treating you well!  We finally got out for a hike and saw some sunshine this past weekend. Those days in nature always help boost my mood so much!  A local town near us has a weather predicting duck (much like the famous groundhog) who has a 10 year record for predicting whether spring will be early or not and this year he predicted an early spring.  I guess only time will tell but I am always optimistically "thinking spring!"


The link with the most views from last week's party: 

The Books I Read in January (2024) by Overflowing with Thankfulness 



Some posts that caught my eye:

Ah Paris! by One Rineer Kid, One Bearcat, & One Redhawk (and yes I drastically shortened the title)


Super Dips for the Big Game! By Our Grand Lives 



This party will remain open until the weekend.  My hope is that everyone will share all sorts of wonderful posts: travel, recipes, how to's, crafting ideas, and more.  Anything that is family friendly is welcome; even old posts that you'd like to get some new views for. 

You are invited to the Inlinkz link party!

    I love this idea of sharing links! I linked mine because I tend to eventually post more family photos! I might have to ask people to link their favorite blogs too. It's a great way to find new sites.

    Thanks so much, Joanne, for the shout out (our Super Dips post)! Both Laurie and I were so excited to see it highlighted!

    I love the idea of a weather predicting duck, and so curious about it, too! Sounds like a fun subject for a children's book! Wishing you a wonderful week ahead!

      You're welcome! I think "Scramble the Duck" (that's his "official" name) would make a great children's story.

    Getting out in nature always helps me too. I'm really routing for early spring. I guess we will see. Dips are of my favorite for sports games!

      You know we don't go to any sporting games so I rarely have the opportunity to try any sort of dips.

    We have had a few days of sunshine!! Someone told me we'd set a record with 23 days straight of no sunshine! I'm glad to see the sun again! Thanks for the link up!

      Oh me too! I start getting so melancholy and just don't want to do anything when it's dreary out.

Friday Favorites: Girls Trip to Nashville Days 1 & 2

Image
By far my favorite part of the week was my girl's trip to the Nashville/Franklin area of Tennessee!  Last Friday I landed in Nashville, Tennessee around 3 pm after an easy morning commute and flight (made so easy because I had no car and my mom drove me to the airport dropping me off curbside). I was meeting up with some blogging friends in real life:  Marilyn from Memphis Bridges,   Jennifer from Overflowing with Thankfulness,  and Tanya from The Other Side of the Road.   By the time I had even picked up my bags I had gotten a text from Marilyn and Jennifer that they were parking the car.  We met up in baggage claim and they had made the cutest welcome sigh for both me and Tanya.  We had a few minutes before meeting up with Tanya and then headed to our rental house in Franklin.  It was adorable and in a lovely little quiet area.  Tanya brought a cute little gift bag of goodies for each of us; seriously these ladies are just the sweetest and I am so, so glad I decided to fly off

Day in the Life: Friday Favorites

Image
 I decided to document last Friday for today's Friday Favorites post. I hardly ever document a day in the life anymore now that my boys are grown and mostly on their own. But I knew we had a pretty full day and thought it might be fun.  These are some of my favorite posts to read and I think I did a pretty great job remembering to document and take pictures for the whole day! 5:00 wake up and I allow myself to blog, read emails, etc. until 5:30 5:30 get up, get dressed for the gym, put away my laundry from the night before, make the bed. 5:45 head downstairs to make Alec's lunch (1/2 way though he came to the balcony to tell me he wasn't going to school since he wasn't feeling well-- he's 18 and allowed to make this call himself).  I decided to make a salad, some chicken salad, hard boil some eggs, and cut up all the fruit since we had just done groceries after dinner last night and none of that had been done yet. I emptied, reloaded, and restarted the dishwasher.

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
