I was at the store this weekend and they were selling a lot of Grinch stuff for Christmas already.
There is something about that GRIN!
Have a good day!
What is our fascination with The GRINCH?

The last of the summer flowers and sailing!
Wow – FALL arrived quickly! Cooler temps, days are noticeably darker in the morning and evening.
As I was out walking, I noticed there are still a few summer flowers blooming, but soon they will be gone, replaced by Fall flowers.
In the stores… Halloween stuff will soon be on SALE, because they’ve already brought Christmas stuff out.
Ah, it all happens so quickly, we need to SLOW down and ENJOY the new season.
Have a great weekend! Time to cozy up with a good book.
Games Shows — CASH CAB!
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!
Is this a sign? You are LOVED!
My daughter was out walking, listening to a podcast when she saw “something” on the ground.
Here’s how it looked on the sidewalk.
As she bent down and looked closer, it was a LOVE token. Looks like it had fallen off a key chain maybe?
She picked up this love token inspecting it and as she looked up she saw the top of the church.
Sometimes when we go through challenges, it’s nice to have a sign…
We are LOVED, all will be well!
Chicago – NASCAR Street Race is in town. Happy 4th of July!
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!
Glow-in-the-dark —-> BASEBALL?!
I don’t watch baseball. My parents didn’t watch and that carried down to me. However, the other day there was a news clip on this Cosmic League that wear glow-in-the-dark outfits.
They sound a bit like the Globe Trotters, but with baseball. I mean making the game entertaining.
I think there is still time to get a ticket to see them. If you like baseball and have not heard of them, here’s the news clip, I think you’ll enjoy this.
Happy Wednesday!
Rough Horsetail – A plant that is like a puzzle!
Growing up by Lake Michigan, we always had fun playing with Rough Horsetail. Of course, back then I didn’t know what it was called. I just had fun taking it apart and putting it back together in different ways.
I completely forgot about it until this weekend when friends pointed it out. LOOK, they said, “This plant comes apart and you can put it back together again!”
We all laughed, I told them of my childhood and we had fun playing with them.
This YouTube video gives information on horsetail.
If you are at a beach and you, your friends and/or kids are bored. Find some rough horsetail and have some fun! So many different combinations you can build.
Time for the beach. 🏖️
Summer has started, time for FIREWORKS!
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!
Dandelions – Make a Wish… or… Eat them!
I was out walking and saw so many dandelions. They are in season. A few years ago, I learned that the dandelion starts out as a yellow flower and then turns into the puff ball that we blow to make a wish.
When we blow on the buff ball, we are blowing the dandelion seeds into the wind…
Seems like we should hurry and make multiple wishes while ALL the seeds are flying off, right. Increase our chances of at least ONE wish coming true.
You can also eat them. My Italian relatives would go in the garden pulling the leaves and using them in salads and cooking them too. They taste like arugula.
So, here’s to DANDELIONS! Make a Wish!
Photograph – Lightning up close…
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!
