Photos of the Week

I had so much fun with this week's photo prompts!  I am getting quite adept at changing out my camera lens and using my bigger camera at least 90% of the time now.  


 – Collection I don't have many collections but I do love to collect crafting supplies... I am just drawn to the colors! 



– Yellow (I bought myself a lovely bouquet of flowers this week and I just love these sunny yellow flowers)



– Tiny (How can something as tiny as a snowflake create such havoc?) 




– Photographer’s Choice (I snapped this quick photo of the covered bridge my husband helped his grandfather build years ago when my husband was in high school)


– Photographer’s Choice I thought these icicles growing UP the rock were just too neat not to share.

    Ohhhh, love the photos you took for these prompts! I have been thinking about them and hoping to still join in this week, but the yellow and tiny are stumping me. You are so right about those tiny snowflakes... how can they do SO much?!?!?

      Thank you! I try not to overthink the various prompts but sometimes they do really stump me too.

    Great pictures! The icicles growing up the rock are neat. It's always so interesting to see how things look with ice covering them!

    The growing up icicles are so cool as is the covered bridge your husband built. Wow! And I love the colours of the marker collection too. Colours appeal to me.

    So glad you enjoyed the prompts. I almost did pens as my collection! :-) I do love me some Crayola markers though. The covered bridge picture is gorgeous! You could totally frame that. Thanks for joining in!

    Really cool photos, Joanne! The upward icicles are fascinating and I really like the collection photo. How cool that your husband helped his father build that beautiful covered bridge! I do love covered bridges. Thanks for sharing your gorgeous images!

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 ...
