The Feels In May

For today's post I'm linking up with X-tremely V  for The Feels and though the questions are the same each month the answers are always different since they're based only on our current month.



Favorite Meal-- I think I'd have to say this Ham and Alfredo Lasagna.  It was pretty much an experiment and we loved how it turned out. 



Favorite Movie/ TV Show/ Book--

Movie: Jumanji: The Next Level 



Tv Show: It's a tie between:  Council of Dads (on Hulu).  A great new tear jerking family drama.  Have you seen it?  & Sweet Magnolias (on Netflix) based off the books by  Sherryl Woods.  




Book: I read the whole Beach Plum Cove series by Pamelala Kelley and I just LOVED it!






Favorite Activity: Once again I'd have to go with hiking since that's pretty much the only activity we can do.  






Favorite Moment: Finishing up Alec's room! 



Goal for June: Enjoy as much time outside on the patio and deck as possible.  

Anything else that made May feel good: Celebrating 19 glorious years with my husband... even if we couldn't do much to celebrate together. 

Linking Up With: Spread the Kindness,

    I was considering watching Sweet Magnolias - didn't know it was based off a book series!

    Happy 19th Anniversary! Hope you could celebrate. One of my favorite activities is hiking too. I go every chance I get. Hubby and I just went for a trail run this morning. The weather was beautiful! Happy Memorial Day!

    Hiking is fun except when you go on a longer hike than you planned and don't have your carrier: my arms hurt the next day.

      Yeah, or when you get lost...and don't realize it until you've been walking that trail for more than 30 minutes. We've done that a few times!

    I need to check out those shows. I saw Steel Magnolia's on Netflix but i wasn't sure if I would like it. Thanks for the recommendation. Love seeing the progress of your son's room!

    Happy Anniversary, Joanne! Congratulations to you and your husband on 19 years together, that is wonderful! So great to finish off the decorating in Alec's room. It looks fab! We've been doing a lot of hiking too. Thank you so much for sharing and for being a part of the Hearth and Soul Community! Take care and have a lovely weekend.

    Joanne, I so enjoyed this post! It's the little things, the day to day experiences, that enhance our lives and unite us all. It was lovely to get a glimpse into your life, and I love how you are Romancing The Ordinary, as author Sarah Ban Breathnach would write. I've featured your post at Hearth and Soul this week, and I'm so grateful to you for being a part of the Hearth and Soul Community! Take care.

    I've been meaning to watch Council of Dads. I started watching Sweet Magnolias and so far I'm not loving it. It's a show I wanted to love because I usually love shows like that.

      As always, I definitely think the books were better but I will watch Sweet Magnolias when I have nothing else to watch.

Favorite TV Shows Growing Up in the 80's and early 90's

Image
Do you remember the TGIF lineups on Friday nights? I can remember planning sleepovers and time with friends around TV Show lineups of our favorite shows... or else trying to set the VCR to record our favorite shows if we weren't going to be home. And through the years I had SO MANY favorites! Growing pains aired in 1985 which put me around age 8 and it stayed on the air until I was 15 or so; I'm pretty sure most people in my age group watched mostly for Kirk Cameron and all his antics.  I still have a soft spot for family sit-coms!  The Facts of Life aired when I was just 2  and stayed on the air until I was 11 so I'm sure the episodes I remember so fondly were either some of the later ones and then reruns shown later on when I was old enough to watch from the beginning. I think everyone would have loved an Edna Garret in their lives.   Benson another sitcom that began airing when I was just 2 and was done by the time I was 9 (another one I must have watched mai...

Things That Make Me Laugh

Image
I loved the challenge of this week's list for our 26 lists link up.  I don't know about you but I really need to laugh more lately.  It's such a great stress reliever. 1.  Books-- I love a good funny book that makes me laugh out loud.  I haven't read one in a while but if you have any recommendations I'm all ears.  The last book I can remember making me laugh was the Un-Honeymooners. 2  The boys being silly. 3.  Watching shows like America's Funniest Videos or Family Feud. 4. My husband.  Most people don't realize it but he's actually pretty funny and often makes me laugh. 5.  Whenever my sisters/ family get together and we get to reminiscing (particularly if my Aunt Elaine is around) we end up laughing so hard at all the old family stories that we are all in tears by the end of the night.  It's fabulous. 6. Movies like Mom's Night Out, Christmas Vacation, and Grown Ups make me laugh out loud. 7.  When my ...

Favorite Moments and Memories of 2024

Image
 Oh 2024... it was a challenging year for sure but we had so many fabulous moments and memories. I fully admit that many of my favorite memories this year have no pictures-- like Easter dinner with the family, Alec's acceptance day at JWU, etc. But I am more interested in being present these day then I am in getting the exact perfect photo. In January  we started the year with a big family breakfast out to lunch before my sister and nephews headed home. It's an awful picture but we were all laughing because my mom tried 4 times to get us all in there! Then a week or so later my husband and I did get to go on our cruise (we weren't sure right up until the last minute since my mother in law was in the hospital just before we left).  Roatan Grand Cayman We celebrated Alec's 18th birthday nearly a full month late in  February but he didn't mind. Evan got his license in February. And we checked out a new hiking trail. Alec presented his Senior Culinary Arts Project (SC...

Tomorrow is the last Saturday of the month and time for the Share 4 Somethings link up with Jennifer. We're flying home (if all goes well with our connections we should be home tomorrow morning-- though I am REALLY worried about the "adjustment" the airline company made so we now have a much shorter connection time than we planned!) so this wrap up is pretty much all about our trip to Hawaii!  Once again we'll be sharing some things we've  loved and/or disliked, accomplished, some things we've improved upon and/or that need improvement, and noticed. Loved/Disliked:  We LOVED our Hawaii trip but we really disliked those long flights/travel days! sunset Maui top of Haleakala summit; Haleakala National park road to Hana Whales spotted on our snorkel tour, Maui botanical gardens; Maui Both our rentals had beautiful sunset views! volcano national park; Hawaii the volcano began erupting less than 2 days before we got there we hiked out to a green sand beach touring ...
