Thankful Thursday! April 30, 2020

 

Thankful for the wonderful tiling that 

my sweetie installed over just 3 days!

It makes our home entry so much more

serene and welcoming! 

So much nicer than concrete!

Have a lovely day!

And thanks Brian!

My oldest son Phillip John will be 

celebrating his 57th birthday today!

Thankful Thursday! April 23, 2020

We have so much to be thankful these days.

We live in a free country.

People are remembering to be more kind.

The grocery stores are open with plenty for all.

Our medical facilities are not over whelmed.

We are so fortunate to have our wonderful

nurses and doctors.

I think things are getting better....

what do you think?

 

....and so I continued my positive mood

by making Strawberry Lemon Ginger Jam.

( try saying that 10 times! )

I used up all my recycled jars so I

guess I have enough jam to eat and to share.

 

 Guess I'll make Spaghetti sauce for dinner!

Bon Appetit! 

See you all tomorrow and thanks to Brian

for Thankful Thursday!

And if you have time do drop by

It is definitely a "hands-on" time.

We are keeping busy by being productive. 

 

I spent a few hours making Orange Ginger Marmalade

 

While Russell continued to work on tiling

our front entry way. 

He already finished the back entry stoop.

It definitely is a "hands-on" time!  

 

Have a good day and be happy and healthy!

Thanks Sandee for all that you do!

Busy Bee Baby Boy quilt

Our next door neighbor is once

again a grandmother. Not wanting

to pass up the opportunity to create,

especially during this anxious time,

I made this little quilt.

Have a lovely and safe day! Cheers!

Vancouver, Washington

 

Last night we sat down to our delicious dinner

and I immediately had to get up,

grab my camera and take these two photographs. 

 

 

April 15, 2020 6:40pm PDT

 

The sun was in the process of dropping down

in preparation of the sunset. The angle of the sun

coming through the kitchen window behind me

was perfectly aimed at my glass of wine.

By the way, the dinner was delicious!

Have a great day every day and be well!

Our sweet cat Lucy is missing all her humans. 

She is just stuck with the two of us.

Poor lonesome Lucy! 

 

I keep telling her things will get better.

Wishing all of you well and stay safe!

Hugs and more hugs!

Thanks Sandee!

Right now we Americans need to pull

together and NOT pull each other apart.

We need to stop the bickering and politicizing .

We need to work together so that our

country doesn't fall apart.

I hope all the so called "leaders" realize

that this isn't about their political party.

This is serious and they need to work together.

NOT as Democrats or Republicans but as Americans.

And the media needs to do the same.

I am so sick and tired of all the muckraking.

all the hype and name calling etc .

Where is Walter Cronkite when we need him?

Thanks for letting me rant!

Stay calm, be safe and help where you can.

I am so thankful for my wonderful husband

and all our wonderful families and friends.

We have nothing without our families and our friends.

They are priceless. Treasure them.

Thanks Brian for Thankful Thursday!

Happy Tuesday! April 7, 2020

 

We live in a small little neighborhood. 

It may be small but hearts are large here.

Especially now. 

A few days ago I just had to bake, so I made a double 

batch of my Banana Lemon Coconut muffins.

I then emailed and called neighbors and then 

dropped them off wrapped carefully in sandwich bags.

Everyone loved them and one neighbor gave

me these lovely tulips! We are so lucky to have each other! 

Cheers and have a lovely day everyday!

Thanks Sandee!

The Easter bunny is a wee bit early!

And it looks like the bunny likes eating

our just planted landscaping!

And frankly- I don't care. I'll just find

something else to plant if the rabbit really

eats it all up!

Have a lovely week even if you "have to stay home."

Frankly speaking, we are enjoying ourselves.

Not bored yet, nor lack of stuff to do!

Cheers and thanks to Sandee!

 Now that the weather is improving Lucy loves

to go out side and watch the world go by!

Needless to say...so do we!

Cannot get too close to folks,

but at least we're out enjoying the sunshine!

 

Here's a better view of what Lucy is looking at.  

Have a lovely day and  stay healthy!

Thanks Sandee for all that you do!

April 2, 2020 Thankful Thursday!

During this very serious time I am so very thankful 

that we live in this wonderful neighborhood, with caring

and giving neighbors. Where ever we have lived we have

 always been blessed with lovely neighbors. 

Right now it is truly important that we take care 

of each other in our homes, our neighborhood 

and  yes....when we go outside walking or when 

we carefully do our shopping. 

Remember to smile, wave and say hello. 

We may be distanced from each other but we 

can connect by acknowledging each other's presence

Take care and be well.

 

A view from our kitchen window.

Thank goodness we can see nature right

out our windows! 

 

Another two views from our dining room table!

 

There is a seasonal creek below our home that

is running full from all the rain we get at 

this time of year. It's fun to watch families walk

along it with their children. 

Many thanks to Brian who created Thankful Thursday!

Have a great day and take care!

Before I forget....if you have time please visit

It's called A Bird a Day! 

I am posting a different bird each day!

Thanks!!!!
