Hi and welcome to another edition of "I like Thursdays!" Today we celebrate all that is good in our world and fill the internet with positive energy. Visit LeeAnna our hostess for more posts!
This week's likes:
A nice trip to the fabric store with my husband. I don't go fabric shopping much and to be honest, I didn't really need anything. BUT, we needed to put on a certain amount of miles before our mechanic could click off our "check engine" light. So we went to the fabric store. Afterwards we went out to lunch and it was so nice to just have a get away!
Like most of you, we are dealing with a heatwave (this morning is particularly brutal as the humidity is already 87 %). Yesterday we had a mid-afternoon rain shower and it was really nice to get some extra water in the garden.
I like rainbows and rarely get to see them. But on Sunday we had one after a brief rain and it was lovely to see!
Lucky is a wonderful dog and so many people love him. He never stays home alone because my mother or brother insist he visits while we go away. This kind of heat is tough on the dogs. Yesterday my brother picked him up and took him to the pet store for a while. It was a great activity for him and Uncle Jim let him pick out a toy! He's ready for shark week!
LeeAnna's prompt this week is to recall a memorable July 4th celebration. My Dad's family used to have the family reunion on July 4th. It was my Pop-Pop's birthday and also his and Nana's anniversary. We used to meet at Willow Park in Bethlehem, PA. We'd have a picnic in the pavilion and then the kids were set loose in the park (we could do that back then).
The park closed in 1969. I still think about that park!
We are doing absolutely nothing on the Fourth this year. The vote is that the family does not want to do anything. I'm relieved. I'll still be caring for Mom that day but other than that, we will be just hanging out in the airconditioning.
Wishing you a safe and happy weekend!
