You can join in on the fun and find links to others random thoughts by popping over to Nancy's blog, (A Rural Journal).





1. They finally fixed the water leak in our street this week! - Yes, there has been a leak in the city water line for nearly a month now.  A steady stream of water bubbled up just past our driveway and down the curb.  Wednesday they finally came to repair it.  Of course they had to tear up part of our yard and the street to do so which meant having to park in the street for most of the day.  Trying to get around all their equipment when I wanted to go somewhere was a bit of pain in the butt but I managed.

2.  This week I lost my Cell Phone not once but twice within 2 days time.
Wednesday morning I couldn't find the darn thing and after trying every place that I had been on Tuesday (Bowling Alley, Restaurant, BiMart) I ended up calling my daughter to see if it fell out in her car since I was with her that afternoon.  -  Yep, that's where it was.  So I fetched it.  Thursday I go to get my phone and it's gone again.  - I finally realize the only place I had it on Wednesday after I had found it was the Clinic where I get my allergy shot. - Called there, yep someone found it in the Parking Lot. - Geez, maybe I need a cord attachment so I won't be dropping it out of my coat pocket all the time!

3.  I've decided that whenever something goofy like RF#2 happens or last weeks appointment mix up that heading to Starbucks for Coffee and a Pastry is a pretty good pick-me-up for feeling like a total dork about the crazy things that I get mixed up on.  - Yep,  had a Caramel Sticky bun and an Eggnog Latte (didn't care much for that one) and brought coffee and goodies home to share with hubby and my mom.

4.  I'm thinking of warm places this week.  You know, like the Bahamas, Jamaica, the Caribbean ....any place that's warmer then here because it's FREEZING cold right now.

5.  My niece's are coming to lunch today.  Their favorite meal for me to fix...Macaroni & Cheese!  These girls are in their 30's but whenever they come over that's what they always want me to fix.  So I'm off to the store to get the macaroni since I'm out.


Thought I'd leave you with a pretty photo of some trees with lovely afternoon sun before the cold set in.

 

Sugar Frosted Petals

Old man winter has arrived with some chilly temperature's expected here for the next few days.  It was only 20 degrees out this morning when I walked Coleen to school.  Brrrr.....I walked fast on the way home in an effort to stay warm.  I decided to see what kind of frosty goodness I could find in the yard and discovered the last lone rose blooming on one of my bushes had been dusted with a "sugar" coating of frost on it's petals.

Staying warm inside now with nice hot coffee and my little heater.

Songography - It's a Wonderful World

Welcome.  Once again I'll be participating in both Songography and Scavenger Hunt Sunday.  This week there will be 2 separate posts so be sure to click on the link to that post. - The links to the actual Memes will be below:

Please join me and Kathy from You'll Shoot Your Eye Out for SONGOGRAPHY  This weeks song,  It's a Wonderful World.  Kathy has chosen a version by, Playing for Change but the most common version is by Louis Armstrong.

 

 

 "What A Wonderful World"

I see trees of green,

 

 red roses too.

 

 

 

 I see them bloom,
for me and you.
And I think to myself,
what a wonderful world.

 I see skies of blue,
And clouds of white.

 

 The bright blessed day,
The dark sacred night.
And I think to myself,
What a wonderful world.

 The colors of the rainbow,
So pretty in the sky.

 

 Are also on the faces,
Of people going by,
I see friends shaking hands.
Saying, "How do you do?"
They're really saying,
"I love you".

I hear babies cry,
I watch them grow,

 

 They'll learn much more,
Than I'll ever know.
And I think to myself,
What a wonderful world.

Yes, I think to myself,
What a wonderful world.

Oh yeah.

Scavenger Hunt Sunday - November 17, 2013

Welcome!  -  Once again I'll be doing 2 separate posts.  One for Scavenger Hunt Sunday and the other for Songography.  Please click on the link to the Meme you wish to view.

The links to the actual blogs where the Memes take place will be posted below.

Let's join Ashley (Ramblings and Photos) for SCAVENGER HUNT SUNDAY.  -  This weeks prompts,  Pattern, Sunglasses, Round, Looking In and Crunchy. 

PATTERN:  I love the different patterns on this house and also the pattern of the ivy growing up the side of it.

SUNGLASSES:  This one was hard.  We've not had enough sun for wearing sunglasses and I just wasn't feeling this prompt.  So I'm going to have to go with an "Archived" photo taken in May of this year.

ROUND:  How about a Merry-go-Round

LOOKING IN:  Another toughie (at least for me it was) - I wanted a picture looking in my mom's living room window where Piglet the cat was comfortable resting on the couch.  Turns out I got the cat but also reflections from her front porch in the window.  Not the greatest of photos but it's interesting.

CRUNCHY:  This one was my favorite photo of this weeks prompts.  I spotted some rather "crunchy" sunflowers while out on a walk.  With the added texture and quote I think it turned out great.  I hope you do as well.

Random 5 Friday

Good Day!  -  Yippee it's Friday.  So let's cut right to the chase and head on over to Nancy's blog (A Rural Journal) where we are once again posting
Random 5 Friday thoughts (minus Mr. Linky) so be sure to check the comment section for links to other people's blogs for their R5F thoughts.



1.  I've been trying to go for walks lately.  Why do I wait till the weather isn't that great to suddenly get the urge to exercise?  Anyway Monday afternoon Greta, Coleen and I took the dogs, Cricket and Pixie for a nice long walk. - All photos today are from that walk.

L-R  Cricket - Who wouldn't turn around. Greta (my daughter), Coleen and Pixie.  - They loved walking in the leaves.

                                   Coleen enjoyed rolling down a hill.

2.  I bowled great on Tuesday (for a change)!  156-150-160  Always makes me feel great when I bowl three decent games.

3.  I went to the same dental appointment "twice" this week.  How you might be asking,  Well Wednesday I got up and after getting Coleen off to school I hurried home and headed off to my dental appointment.  Got there and said, "I'm here for my appointment."  -  The receptionist then proceeds to tell me (while trying not to laugh) that my appointment wasn't until Thursday!  -  I was positive that I had written it down for Wednesday.  Went home only to discover that I had it down for Thursday after all.

4.  Enjoy having coffee with my hubby after the 1st appointment on Wednesday that never happened due to the mix-up of when the appointment actual was.

5.  Getting ready today to work on making some Thanksgiving cards since I didn't send out Halloween this year and people were wondering what was wrong when they didn't get one!  Next will be Christmas cards,  I'd better be hustling with the card making.

Have a wonderful day and weekend everyone and thanks for stopping by.
