I Like Thursdays: September 18, 2025

 


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!

So glad your hubby is home for awhile! Go Phillies! I do remember when Bic ballpoint pens became a thing - and they wrote so smoothly, too.

So nice to have your husband home! I don't remember anything about pens or paper when I was in school. Not sure why!!

Enjoy your precious time with hubby home. We used ink pens in school and I don't remember the change over. I still use an ink pen for my journals. Old fashioned to the core here, Michele. :)
