Talking About it Tuesday #36

Happy September! I hope your month is off to a good start. I'm trying to both simultaneously hold onto summer and embrace the coming of fall.  It's not an easy line to straddle but I'm happy to do it. 

I am loving seeing all the fall decorating and planning posts even if I'm not quite ready to tackle either one for myself yet (though I am pulling together a cute fall themed care package to send to Alec).  Yet I am just as equally loving seeing posts on family vacations and beautiful blooming gardens. We had a lovely mix of everything at last week's party and I can't wait to see what you all share this week!

This party will remain open until the weekend.  My hope is that everyone will share all sorts of wonderful posts: travel, recipes, how to's, crafting ideas, and more.  Anything that is family friendly is welcome; even old posts that you'd like to get some new views.

    You're so right, Joanne, I find myself holding onto summer with all my might. But the cool temps don't lie and I know it won't be long til I'm all about autumn ...

      Oh I bet! Our August wasn't that hot like it can sometimes be; it felt more rainy than anything else.

      You're welcome! Wow; that is hot. I think the highest our temps will get this week is the mid-70's.

    Happy September dear Joanne, but summer is not over yet here. Temperatures up and over 30 degrees keep the summer feelings. But the leaves will fall down soon.
    Have a good time and all the best

    I love to decorate for fall, but I've had to move so much furniture out of the way of Mike's wheelchair that I might not even do it this year. It makes me sad, but I'd rather he's got lots of room. Thanks for the link up!

      Yeah that is definitely more important that he be able to get around well. I don't think we'll be decorating for Christmas at all this year since we don't be here and I think that is going to feel so weird!

    I'm pretty serious about holding onto summer until the first official day of fall, so I guess that's saying something about my preference. ;) ha Thanks for hosting! Have a great week.

    No fall decorating yet for me, but I sure am loving the cooler morning temps this week! And I think I am going to plan some yummy fall meals in October. I will enjoy the rest of the summer for the month first!

      I am definitely not decorating yet either.. though I have started cleaning out the gardens and most of the plants in pots around the house have not survived our cold nights.

    We have a swimming pool and when it's time to close, I can't wait to reopen in the spring. But then there's fall :) Like you, I enjoy both. Thank you for hosting.
    Take care and best wishes.

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 mainly through

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 boys were youn

Dorm Move In & Alec's Dorm Photos

Image
 Alec and I loaded up the car Wednesday morning. I was literally unable to sleep the night before thinking there was no way we were going to fit all his stuff ( see yesterday's post! ) into my car. But first try we got it all to fit! There wasn't really any room to spare but that's okay, we all fit and so did everything he wanted to bring with him.  Since Alec is in the honors program he got to move in 2 days before the rest of the school (on Thursday).. which meant we didn't hear a whole lot from the school on what to expect for move in day. We were told to be there anywhere between 10 am and 7 pm so we decided to shoot for the 10 am and give ourselves plenty of time. His roommate wouldn't be moving in until Saturday and Alec will have a full day of activities and meetings today (on Friday).  We did label everything with Alec's name, dorm name, and room # just in case and printed out a parking pass (again, just in case)-- none of which we needed to do but were
