I Like Thursdays: May 28, 2026

 

Greetings and welcome to another "I like Thursday"!  This day is sponsored by Lana at Not Afraid of Color and focuses on positive things in our world.  Yes, you can read more similar posts by visiting Lana's website!

I like taking walks!

We had a lot of rain lately but we appear to be in a break for a little bit.  It's just nice to walk Lucky before the days become humid.  The best walks are always early in the morning.  I just love to watch the world wake up!

I love spending time with my nieces!  My niece and great-niece visited over the holiday and it was wonderful.  Little Remi just turned 4 and we had a blast with her.  She had a good time with Lucky and referred to him as "Buddy".  

On Monday night, were were playing in my mother's sunroom and Remi kept asking me,"what's that?"  It took me a while to figure out that she was referring to a landline phone hanging on the wall.  This became the hit of the weekend.  Monday night she had to use the phone to call all of her relatives.  Tuesday she was calling Jim and I from the next room.  It was hilarious!

She thought she had to talk on the phone on speakerphone like a walkie talkie. 😂

The prompt this week focuses on hair emergencies...especially when it came to perms or dye jobs.  I had one perm which was stupid because my hair is naturally curly.  Fortunately, it didn't take because the initial perm made my hair similar to Roseann Roseannadanna 😂

Well I'm off to walk Lucky.  Have a safe and happy day!

Memorial Day: 2026

 

 

Hi there!

Well it's "I like Thursdays" again and time to celebrate all the good we can find.   Be sure to check out other happy posts by visiting out hostess, LeeAnna at Not Afraid of Color!

This week's like include working in the garden and planting all my tomatoes!

I like early morning walks with my dog and much longer days!

I like the one good thing about heatwaves:  not  expected to cook!

Lana's prompt this week is did we were plastic sandals or even socks with out sandals.  

Nope.  I mainly wore sneakers or went barefoot.  Occasionally I wore flip-flops to the pool.  I don't remember having any kind of sandal when I was a kid.  Do you?

Lastly, have a safe and happy Memorial Day holiday!

I Like Thursdays: May 7, 2026

It's been raining and that is always a good thing since we are still in moderate drought.  The nice part that I like is that it ceases in the evening so we were able to watch the baseball game.

Speaking of baseball, I like that our Phillies are playing better.  It was tough hearing that our GM had been fired but I guess it did something to the team.  To be honest, our team usually has a rusty start in the begining of the season--but we were at the point of absymal.  It's nice to see people playing well again!

We found out this week we once again have baby bunnies in our back yard.  It was Lucky who discovered them.  I held my breath because I don't want him to catch any and hurt them.  Fortunately, Lucky is not a very good hunter.  The animal will go one way and for whatever reason he goes a different way.  He does this at my Mom's as well when there is a cat in the backyard.  This tickles my brother to no end.  😂😂

This week's prompt is "did you ever wear gogo boots? Platform shoes? earth shoes?"  Yes.  But my priority has always been on comfort rather than fashion.   I had the gogo boots but they felt restricting.  I had the platform shoes as well and didn't like them either.  I probably would have loved earth shoes but I couldn't afford them.

It looks like a good weekend and I'm hoping to garden as soon as things dry out.  What are you doing?

Have a safe and happy weekend!
