I like Thursdays: September 25, 2025

 

Hello and welcome to another edition of "I like Thursdays!". 

Sponsored by LeeAnna at Not Afraid of Color, you can find more positive posts on her blog!

First like:  We got some rain! 

 

I think it had been 4 weeks since we got any.  We could sure use more and I would love a quiet rainy day to stay inside and just putter.

Another thing to like:  Tomorrow is my wonderful brother's birthday!  

Hey I have or had that cook book (Betty Crocker's Cook Book for Boys and Girls)!

Jim is also Lucky's favorite person (besides me).  Actually it's funny, Lucky doesn't know who to sit on for pets when Jim and I are together.  So he goes back and forth as if to give us equal time.

Lana's prompt is about learning styles.  I grew up around a lot of music and as long as I heard it, I could remember it.  Unfortunately, I don't hear as well these days.  I do use hearing aids but I don't always catch what is being said or going on.    The closed caption is always on my tv these days and my brother says his is too.  Well we get older...

Wishing you a safe and happy weekend!

Happy Thursday!

It's "I like Thursday" and time to celebrate good things in life!  Visit LeeAnna at Not Afraid of Color for more positive posts!

I like that my husband is on vacation for two weeks after working in Quebec for a month.  His boss made him take this time and hubby wasn't happy...but Lucky and I are pleased!

I like this:

This week Lana's prompt is:

"Did you get a new notebook and paper to use that year? I remember picking a notebook was a big deal. I remember the year I got thin ruled paper instead of big lines. I remember getting flair pens to use instead of pencils and I had a cartridge ink pen one year too. Do you still likehaving notebooks and calling them journals?

I don't remember us shopping for these things but I do remember having them.  In public school, the kids got free pencils and tablets unlike Catholic schools.  I do remember when we switched from fountain pens to bic ball point pens.  

It was a BIG DEAL when we were allowed to do that.  Bic pens seemed like a luxury item and it was great not getting ink all over as I often did with a fountain pen.

Wishing you a safe and happy weekend!

I Like Thursdays: September 11, 2025

 

It's I like Thursdays and time for positive thoughts!  Join our hostess LeeAnna at Not Afraid of Color for more positive posts!

I enjoyed the Thursday Murder Club movie!  I don't have netflix but my mother does and we watched the one day I was doing things for her.

The thing I like about British mysteries is they don't tend to show a lot of gore.  There's also usually a sense of humor (and definately in this film).  

The Brits aren't obsessive about youth or beauty either.  I loved when Helen Mirren was in a night scene and didn't have make-up on.  She looked like one of us!

I hope they do another movie together!

I like this empty cupboards and this quote:

I've been going through cupboards and getting rid of a lot of things while my husband has been working in Canada.  I'm not one for buying organization containers, etc.  I just figure you should get rid of things you haven't been using.  

My husband...?  Well he has to find value in everything that we might "need one day" and promptly forgets.  It's been a good time for me going to the dump 9 times!

Lana's prompt this week is about school.  Did I get to pick out a lunchbox, did we buy lunch etc.

Most everything I had as a kid was a hand-me-down and my lunch box was as well.  It was plaid and not that interesting.  My brother and I did not buy our lunches.

Wishing you a safe and happy day!
