Talking About it Tuesdays #72

Gosh! I can't believe it's already the last Tuesday of the month. I hope those of you living in the U.S had a lovely Memorial Day weekend. My husband and I always celebrate our anniversary this time of year and decided to set Sunday aside to celebrate this year. Those 24 years of marriage have seemed to fly by so fast. We were 24 when we got married so we've officially been married 1/2 our lives!
 
 It's Tuesday and time for another link party. This is the time of year I really notice participation is kind of all over the place as people tend to get pretty busy and enjoy a bit more travel over the next few months so we didn't have as many posts linked up as usual but I hope those of you that stopped by found plenty of great blogs to read. I sure did! 
 

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

A few that caught my eye:

Tuesday Talk May 20, 2025/ Dancing by Memphis Bridges

Balsamic Cranberry Orange Dressing by Musings & Glimpses on Faith, Flavor, & Home


 

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-- up to 3 posts per blog.  Anything that is family friendly is welcome; even old posts that you'd like to get some new views.

You are invited to the Inlinkz link party!

    Happy anniversary! It is definitely a little harder for me to remember blog things at the beginning of summer when kids want to go to the pool and we are a little busier with things. We do typically take a vacation at the beginning of summer too. That is why I am glad I usually have my posts planned out but there is usually a week where I don't link up!

      Yeah, I think everyone is just very busy and focused on all sorts of family fun this time of year. I often plan my posts in advance too but rarely bother to link up anywhere when we're away on vacation.

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 ...

Favorites and Highlighs in May; One Sentence a Day

Image
Oh May! It was a colder and rainier May than we expected but we still had a pretty great month.  1. So thankful to see everything turning green again. Gym, getting caught up on the blog and then a lovely hike with both Alec and Evan in the afternoon. 14,591 steps.  2. So thankful to be able to help out a friend that is facing a hysterectomy. I was woken up around 3 by a loud thunderstorm and never made it back to sleep so I skipped the gym and headed to the grocery store between rain storms. Then I spent my day in the kitchen making salad, cutting up fruit, making Ian's birthday cake, making some salad dressings, getting dinner going in the crock pot, etc. 5,260 steps. 3. So thankful to finally catch up on some sleep. I spent my morning frosting Ian's cake and running errands with my husband then ended up taking a 2 1/2 hour nap after lunch before more rain and thunderstorms moved in.  Step counter died.. Alec planted some seeds Ian's chocolate cake with peanut butter fr...

Currently in June 2025

It's the first Wednesday of the month and time for the Currently link up with Jenn. This month we're sharing what we're currently:  loving, doing outside, cooking/grilling, excited about, and wearing.    Loving:  Ian fixed our front walk this past weekend so we shouldn't have an ice skating rink in front of our front door this winter (he sloped it slightly and reused all the old patio pieces we already had so it cost us nothing!).   We are loving the weather and our time here in Maine; just look at the views!   Doing outside:  Hiking! (at home before our trip)  We're in Acadia this week so we're hiking, biking, walking, exploring, and eating outside.    Cooking/grilling:  I have the whole week off from cooking or grilling anything. But we have been eating so good! Much too fatty and sugary but oh so good.  Grilled feta, strawberry, and arugula sandwich with fries Tuna panini    LL Bean's Bean Boot Crunc...

What I Read in May & Share Your Shelf #14

Image
It's the first Thursday of the month and time for Share Your Shelf with  Marilyn,   Jennifer,   Tanya,  and I. This post and link up are dedicated solely to books and book reviews and it's one I look so forward to each and every month. I am always looking for new and more book ideas. I didn't read nearly as many books as I usually do; I had a hard time concentrating on reading this month and that combined with only listening to 3 books on my Libby app made a huge difference in how many books I was able to complete. I enjoyed them all though so that's all that really matters.   1. Games Untold by Jennifer Lynn Barnes (Book #5 of The Inheritance Games) -- I did not realize this book was a collection of short stories; I was 1/2 way through the second story and feeling so lost as to how the two stories were going to tie together when I decided to google and read the synopsis. I am not a short story fan because I hate that the stories always feel so unfinished ...
