So what's up for today? Let's see how about some Willy Nilly Friday 5hosted by Tanya (Around Roanoke....A Daily Photo Blog)
Throw in Feline Friday hosted by Steve (The Burnt Food Dude) and add in some
Fill-In Fun hosted by Hilary (Feeling Beachie)
1. It's been a good week. I've actually had fun just relaxing and blogging this week.
Here Captain Cuddles has found his special place to relax. Mine has been taking photos, editing, blogging and just enjoying life this week.
2. Last Friday we had a Thunderstorm (with hail). Coleen wanted to go outside and stand out in the rain and hail. Grandpa told her to hold a pan over her head. Doesn't she look like she's having fun. Children find joy even in the midst of storms. I find joy in watching her.
3. Wednesday our local Fair kicked off with the concert. It featured the Marshall Tucker Band as the opening act and then the featured act was,
Charlie Daniels! I'm not a huge fan of country music but this was more country/rock so I enjoyed myself. I took tons of pictures (some turned out, some did not) but this is one of my favorites. You really can't see the band that well but I liked it because of the people in the crowd with their phones out snapping away.
4. The 4 O'Clocks finally bloomed. My mom grew these from seeds this year and then planted them all in a little clump next to her storage shed. We've been waiting all summer long for them to bloom.
5. Crows make me smile. Some people find them to be a nuisance but I enjoy their antics and they enjoy the peanuts I leave out for them every morning. Earlier this summer there was some guy that pulled up in a truck and was actually shooting a pellet gun at them aiming right towards out house. I was so shocked that I didn't get his license plate number but we realized he lives just down the street from us so if it ever happens again you can bet you bottom dollar (does anyone use that expression any more?) that I'll turn him in.

The statements:- Living in_____ makes me______
- Wondering what will happen always makes me ___________
- Looking back I would have ______
- Listening to_____ makes me feel_____
My answers:
1. Living in my hometown makes me very happy. I grew up here and have never considered living anywhere else.
2. Wondering what will happen always makes me a major worrier. I try not to worry but I think it's in my blood.
3. Looking back I would have finished college and got my teaching degree.
Instead I bought a car and had to find a job to pay for it. From there life went on and I never went back to college.
4. Listening to Music makes me feel Joyous, Relaxed, Calm.
That's it for me today. I hope you've enjoyed your stay. Have a fabulous weekend.
love your chilling cat and your cute grandgirl. :)
ReplyDeleteHometowns are nice.
ReplyDeleteI am pretty close to my hometown too...about five minutes out. :)
Worrying isn't fun but it can't be helped.
Have a great weekend.

ReplyDeleteColleen is so funny! Love the cat in that pose - too funny!
ReplyDeleteAwww on the kitty. I so love all things feline.
ReplyDeleteI would have loved to have gone to see Charlie Daniels. Wow.
Have a fabulous Feline Friday. ☺
I remember when cameras were not allowed at concerts. One time I had to take mine back to the car after it was discovered by the guard at the gate. They searched all purses!
ReplyDeleteI guess cell phones have extinguished the no camera policies.

I would love to be as relaxed as that kitty. It's rather crazy here this weekend: it's a long weekend, and I just had company leave, and school starts on Tuesday... the kids are going Full Out to get the last bit of outdoor play time: and I feel like death run over. ha
ReplyDeleteisn't that always the way? But I will be able to relax a bit next week when they are all in school.
cannot believe that guy with the pellet gun!! how cruel.
Fun post - I love that cat photo!

ReplyDeleteI ran away form home and joined the army after high school. later i had the chance to go to collage and get my teaching degree, so glad I did! So many fun photos this week!

ReplyDeleteCaptain Cuddles is my kind of guy, and what a fun idea to put a pan over your head in a hail storm. That must have been LOUD! You know I could just shoot the guy who was shooting at the crows. Crows are very intelligent. They can't help being crows.
ReplyDeleteFun post! I like watching crows too -- such large birds! I've used "bet your bottom dollar" quite often. My grandparents and parents (from W.Va.) had lots of quaint mountain sayings like that.
