I was walking in a Chicago neighborhood, looking at the homes, listening to the birds.
When right in front of me was an apple tree, handing over the sidewalk.
Of course, I wanted to take one. I mean it was right there in front of me, but…
I thought of that scene in The Wizard of Oz, when the trees come alive, see clip from YouTube.
So, I merely admired the apple tree and walked on.
Such a FUN walk!
I’ve never been a big Game Show person, ie Jeopardy, Wheel of Fortune, The Price is Right, etc.
However, recently I was visiting my Mom, 85, and she’s started watching Game Shows.
One morning, as I made her some oatmeal, Cash Cab came on. Wow, such a FUN show!
Basically, Host – Stand up Comedian Bill Bailey, drives a cab. People get in the cab, not knowing it’s a game show until flashing lights goes off on the ceiling. He drives them to their destination, asking questions. They have two shout outs, one to a person on the street, one to a person they call. Three strikes they are out. If they lose, he boots them out of cab BEFORE their final destination. If they win, they get cash.
Here’s a Youtube clip… ENJOY!
Have a great weekend!
A beautiful sunset in Michigan. The only thing missing are the sound of the waves…
Later clouds were coming in.
Another great photo, but the IPhone always has that “green dot,” so hard to get rid of it.
We’re moving into August. Soon it will be Fall.
ENJOY the weekend!
I’m always thrilled when out walking with some amazing nature finds. I was looking at these beautiful flowers when a bee came buzzing by. Time to eat!
As I looked at this one, I was able to get a close up picture. A beautiful creature.
Walking further, I found a few other bees. So, honored them with a photo of themselves too.
When we slow down, it’s fun to observe nature.
Here’s to enjoying summer!!
I was at Hobby Lobby recently. They were having a puzzle sale, 40% off. Now, that was a good deal. So, I looked at my options. I found this one by Brother Sister Design Studio. I was curious about the “soft touch.”
This was a fabulous puzzle. First off, it’s so cheerful. I was surprised at how huge the puzzle pieces were. I give a comparison, see the blue puzzle piece, it’s from a 1,000 piece puzzle I’m working on. Then to the right was a puzzle piece from this puzzle. Fun, but it did feel a little bit like going back to grade school.
Finally, the finished product. HOWEVER, it’s hard to fit the pieces in the box, see photo. I mean, who wants to “carefully” stack puzzle pieces in a box, so they will fit?? Not me, but I do LOVE this puzzle.
So, I guess I’ll have to stack them nicely… LOL
Cheers to more puzzling.
Wishing you all in America a wonderful and safe holiday weekend.
NASCAR Street Race is in Chicago again. Here’s a YouTube clip showing the road course. You can watch the actual race on Saturday, July 5th and Sunday, July 6th on TV.
Happy 4th of July!
You know summer has started when you go for a walk and you see the kids RUNNING & SCREAMING! At first, I thought, “What the heck is going on??” Then I realized — SCHOOL’S OUT!!
That means July 4th celebrations are around the corner. I’ve been eyeing this puzzle for a while. I was drawn to the Fireworks in the background. So, I took the plunge and bought it.
Life is FUNNY! Last night, I got the fireworks done. Just after I finished them…
I got a call. A family wedding next Saturday! I chuckled to myself.
So, that’s why I did the fireworks!! Can’t you FEEL the different explosions of color!
The Universe has such interesting SURPRISES this year!
It’s SUMMER… On my walk, I got wet by a water sprinkler. Obviously, I thought I could “beat” the timer of when the water would hit me…
I was STARTLED!
It was REFRESHING!
Have a great weekend!
Ok, I think we all need a good chuckle on this Friday afternoon. I was at the store recently and I saw these hamburger pillows. They are so funny. Why?
It’s part of the reason I got divorced many years ago.
When my eight year old daughter was asked why her parents divorced. She said, “Because my dad ate too many hamburgers and didn’t talk enough.”
Ok… that’s how I had explained it to my children when they were little. I gave an example of their friends from school and reasons why they didn’t get along with their friends, which was similar.
So, when I saw this stack of hamburgers it brought back funny memories.
GUESS WHAT my ex/husband is getting for Father’s Day! YES, his very own hamburger pillow. He will laugh, it’s been a joke of ours for years now.
We can always find humor in challenging situations.
Happy Father’s Day… soon… I’m ready!
Last night we had a thunder storm. The sky was so interesting with constant lightning. I was able to capture a few photos, careful not to stay out too long and get struck by lightning. The sky was AMAZING.
Today, back to sunny skies.
Have a nice weekend!
I was at the store yesterday and it was amazing. Costco smelled like a florist. They had so many roses, these are just a few, imagine rows and rows of them, ALL colors.
I smiled when I saw two lucky pennies next to each other. Soon, we won’t have pennies anymore. So finding these felt special. Some Mother’s Day LUCK, “In God We Trust!”
We know Mother’s Day is in May, but it seems to sneak up on us. Suddenly, it’s “Hey, did you do something for your mother yet?” These roses were a big reminder.
So, don’t delay. There is still time to do something special for our Mom’s!
Happy Mother’s Day!
