Talking About It Tuesday #46
We had my parents up visiting us this weekend but I don't feel like we got to spend a whole lot of time with them! They arrived late Thursday night and had an appointment at the bank, then Saturday Evan and I went to tour the last college on our list (for this fall anyway!)... which just happened to be Alec's college so we popped in to see him while we were there. Sunday my husband and Ian headed out fishing and my parents left to head to back to North Carolina so it was a very busy feeling weekend for all of us.
Thank you to all of you who come back week after week and make this such a successful link party! It makes me so happy to see this community grow and blossom. We had so many wonderful posts linked up with us again last week that, once again, it was SO hard to pick just a few to feature. You all are killing it with incredible content!

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-- up to 3 posts per blog. Anything that is family friendly is welcome; even old posts that you'd like to get some new views.
At least you got to see your parents a little! Hopefully they will have a more leisurely visit sometime around the holidays. Hope the college visit went well. Thanks for the link up!
ReplyDeleteThe college visit went very well, thank you!
DeleteThanks for another great blog party! You had a very busy weekend...it's a hectic time of year for sure! I'm sure your parents completely understand & hope you get to have a bit more leisurely visit again soon!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome!
DeleteSorry your time with your parents was rushed but this is the season right? Getting those kids where they need to be- so great that you toured Alec's school and got to see him!
ReplyDeleteWe figured it was worth checking out since both kids would then qualify for a "sibling" discount... but we don't think it's a good fit for Evan and what he wants to study.
DeleteYou may need a moment to catch your breath after such a busy weekend! I'm sure you (and your parents) enjoyed the visit! The blueberry pancake pie you featured this week is so intriguing to me... it looks delicious! Thanks, as always, for hosting your fun gathering!
ReplyDeleteI was really intrigued by that pancake pie too; I'm not a fan of traditional blueberry pie but that sure looked tasty to me!
DeleteWhat a whirlwind weekend for you. I hope y'all can get a NC trip in next year to vist.
ReplyDeleteI hope so too! But if not they'll be up here for the summer and we'll definitely see them then.
DeleteBusy weekend! This link up is a smashing success! It's nice to be able to link any kind of post and the variety is really amazing!
ReplyDeleteIt really is wonderful to see it grow!
Deletesome weekends leave us longing for a quiet Monday morning!
ReplyDeleteIt's been so odd for us to have so much on our calendar this fall; but I've enjoyed the business.
DeleteThat sounded busy! I hope you have a more relaxing week! Thanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteSometimes there is just too many things to do and we get pulled in too many directions. Thanks for hosting this party. Looks like some interesting shares.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome!
DeleteSounds like a busy but exciting week you had. Thanks for the party.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome!
DeleteSo many good links to check out. You've had a busy weekend, though sorry there wasn't more time for the parents. Thanks for hosting this week!
ReplyDeleteAt least I got to go to brunch with them one day!
DeleteI have enjoyed the quieter weekends this year. No sports... my oldest comes home most weekends from school.

You're welcome!
DeleteThanks for hosting the party! I need to relax just reading about your weekend lol!
ReplyDeleteLOL! You're welcome.
DeleteThis time of year, time is limited, wish I still had my parents to say hi and give a hug. Treasure whatever time you have with them
ReplyDeleteHi there, thank you so much for hosting. Hope your day and week is going well.
My entries this week are 56+57
Hope you will join SSPS https://esmesalon.com/tag/seniorsalonpitstop/
Aw, thank you!
DeleteI'm sure that even spending a small amount of time with your parents was appreciated. I remember doing college visits with my children....hard tp believe my oldest grandson is now just a few years away from college years!
ReplyDeleteIt was wonderful to see them for whatever length of time we managed to eek out together.
DeleteI was lucky and had my mom close up until she passed. We actually moved to be close to our kids. Thanks so much for the link up!

That is wonderful! My mom feels kind of torn since both my sisters moved away so she figures if she spends part of the year in the Carolinas with them and then part of the year up here with us and my brother she'll get to see everyone every year.
DeleteSounds like a whirlwind but still a nice family time. :) Thanks so much for hosting this fun party! It's become so popular so fast. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely still some great family times-- at least three times over the couple of days they were here we were laughing so hard we were crying.
DeleteYes I need to make my life easier - but ooo those blueberry pie looks so delicious. Enjoy your week and thankyou again for the linkup.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome!

DeleteGlad you had a little family time. Thanks for hosting and I hope that you have a wonderful week.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome!
DeleteYou did have a busy weekend, but at least you got to see your parents for a bit before they headed back. Thank you for hosting, Joanne!
ReplyDeleteThey'll be back this coming Monday for a few days too. I do not envy them all that driving back and forth though.
