    Hi Joanne. Your home and surroundings are so beautiful, and I love your amazing ice photo. I don't know how to make a set of photos go together, would you share with me how to do it? Cheers for the season. CarolG

      I use a website called Photocollage.com. It is incredibly easy to use and totally FREE!

      Thank you! We'd love to have you join! It's very low-key and not everyone has a photo for every prompt every week.

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 ...

Share Four Somethings in May

Image
 Can you believe it's already the last weekend of the month? Here in the states we have a long Memorial day weekend and my husband and I took off to Acadia, Maine for the long weekend; we have always made it a priority to get away just the two of us for a little weekend here and there whenever we have that extra money in our budget and I can not wait to hit the trails.   Loved: I have loved the warming up of our weather! I got to wear many of my "summer" clothes, our garden is loving the extra sun and warmth too as everything is finally starting to bloom, and best of all I got to ear breakfast on the deck a few times!! Read:  I had another great reading month (though I did have one book that made my DNF list) and I had a little lull now and then where I didn't feel like reading, but somehow I still managed to read and listen to another 10 books and have started 3 more that I'll add onto June's wrap up post. Learned: that solar panels produce power even on clou...

February's 10 on the 10th

Image
 I am so excited about this month's 10 on the 10th questions.  Marsha came up with some great ones and look how pretty these graphics are to!   Since each question is broken into two parts it's almost like answering 20 of them but I promise to try and keep my answers pretty short and sweet (if I can!) and add in a few pictures too.  1. Tell us about a color you love to wear. Now, tell us about a color you wouldn't wear for a million dollars! Blue! I love wearing blue in all it's shades... but I absolutely can not stand wearing orange or a bright yellow (though I'm sure I'd reconsider if an actual million dollars were at stake!).  2. Share a food you loved when you were a little kid, but now you wouldn't touch with a 10 foot pole.   Not so much a single food but growing up we used to eat at fast food places often-- McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's, etc... and I honestly can not remember the last time we have ever eaten at any fast food place.*  Eve...

Coziness; From Summer to Fall

Image
Jennifer decided to make her Cozy Chronicles a link up (the link up is tomorrow) so today I'm talking about taking our coziness from summer to fall. As much as I love spring and summer there is nothing quite like fall in New England. It is one season we do real well up here. The trees put on a spectacular show and warm drinks, sweaters, and cozy nights in take over.  To make our house cozy for fall I start pulling out all our lovely fall decorations-- including twinkling lights on the mantle and lots flickering electric candles in our candle holders. Photo from 2020 Burning fall scented candles and melts-- my favorite scents are those that make me think of baking; pumpkin spice, cinnamon bun, caramel apple, etc.  I put out more throw pillows and throw blankets-- which my family literally likes to throw around...  I start pulling out my sweaters, cozy fleece socks, and scarves Our crock pot gets more use than ever with delicious smells filling the house all day. Some of o...
