Saturday Funnies

 

I'm a Lucy kinda gal

I thought I would share some funnies over the weekend. With the storms were have had in the past few months we often get our power kicked off. Our daughter Rebekah attends all these functions at the city where we live, so she contacted the Excel rep. who talked to residents at one of these events recently. She was able to get the right people involved and we were told they were going to put in a new transformer. So far so good and I pray it continues. I love my blogs but it has been hard trying to keep them up with all the blackouts.

I think Lucille Ball was one of the greatest comic actresses in my lifetime. Today's comedy involves so much smut. I was sad when Bill Envall announced his retirement. He is funny and refreshing. But Lucy had the perfect comic timing along with her co star on her TV series, Vivian Vance. 

 My friend Carole, who I met in the kindergarten always says a mom's investigating skills are unmatched.  This little Mandalorian has the right words here. Girls have incredible skills finding out important information.

I haven't seen my friend Shirley F since our days of working together at the courthouse in my hometown. We reconnecting at social media and Shirley has this kind of sense of humor. She was always making us laugh at work. 

A favorite funny from sweet Jessica. She has been gone two years and I can still her laughter lighting up a room. Trust me, she did this experiment to her own children. 

I love people who make me laugh. I honestly think it's the thing I like most, to laugh. It cures a multitude of ills. It's probably the most important thing in a person. ~Audrey Hepburn (1929–1993)

Thankful Thursday Feline Friday Pink Saturday

 Thankful Thursday

I can not resist a bowtie and this Kitten Wearing A Bowtie . He is adorable and fits in purrfectly for Thankful Thursday as well as Feline Friday  We had storms yesterday and having had the power go out for the past month many times, I stayed away from my electronics. I will say that I have an incredibly bossy and rude cat. He does not want to stop eating. I am not sure what I can do with him. He is given his exact measurement of food twice a day and yet he is constantly searching to steal food and then throw up anywhere he please. I miss the days when he was a naughty kitten shredding toilet tissue for fun! I wonder if his teeth bother him as the other vet said his teeth were bad and nothing could be done. I am hoping to take him to the CSU Veterinary Hospital in Fort Collins later this year to update his shots with them and see if they can help me with his teeth. My sister had a little dog who had to have all his teeth pulled. He lived extra years in his old age because he enjoyed soft food.  It is a real dilemma for me as he can be a real jerk and be extra naughty. Sigh....I am thankful s there may be someone else  who may have the answers I Need for him. 

Truthfully my Tiger boy, Mister Kitty is just like Jerry taunting me and the dogs and the other kitty. Although if he is around Daphne and she finishes her food, he is much more sociable. He is a strange cat to figure out  but he adores, Blake, Harrison and Shea. But they have a gift around cats and know how to handle them with extra care.

Pink Saturday

Our next grandchild won't be wearing pink Crocs with me but rather.....

We are God's handiwork . created in Christ Jesus, to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us  to do. Ephesians 2:10

This is the verse in Scripture I chose for him. 

I wonder if he will wait to be born on this date? 

 

I pray for good health and a safe delivery. His parents already prayed for him with this Scripture:

  For this child I prayed and  the Lord has granted the desires of my heart. 1 Samuel  1:27

Thank you always for being here and please know I am going to catch up before the storms settle in again.

A different spin on my Happy Tuesday today. I am happy to pray for those who have a loved one being deployed. My sweet friend Morgan with three kiddos, triplets, starting 4th grade today is asking for prayer for her phamily and her husband Doug who is a Navy surgeon being deployed. A friend of Morgan's,  Charlotte has two sons, one is already deployed and one going in the Fall. Pray for these and all phamilies dealing with this difficult time. 

"Therefore, confess your sins and to each other, and pray for each other so that you may be healed.

The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and  effective." James 5:16

" Be an encourager, the world already has enough critics." Dave Willis

With the heat we have moving in I am with you Maxine!

A bit of extra humor today to make you happy.

Humor is good for the soul.

Tea is good for the soul too. 

Have a blessed day.

love is..makes me smile even when the temperature rises higher and higher.

Maxine stop spying on me! hahahaha

Both Maxine and Afternoon Tea seem perfectly fitting to share at Pink Saturday.

Jake sitting on his truck tailgate with Shea, Harrison (he is giving you the peace sign). It is his trademark. Brody with his million dollar smile and my buddy Blake with his backward hat and a patriotic popsicle. we did not take lots of photos but we had lots of fun!

I never forget to be grateful for Grace.

I will be visiting all weekend long. I have to take breaks from my sorting and organizing my clothes that are going to those who truly need them.

Summer Solstice

 

Welcome, it's Tuesday 4 time.  Annie keeps it up in memory of her friend Toni Taddeo who really enjoyed her blogs. 

The Summer solstice arrived and some got hot weather and some got chill and rain.  But summer is the time for holidays or vacations, summertime activities and being outdoors more.  It's also a time, like winter, for complaints and we realize that people in Texas, Arizona and Florida stay inside in summer.

1. How is summer treating you so far this year?   Could things improve? How do you make summer fun in your neck of the woods? 

We had a wonderful wet Springtime and everything was green and flowers and trees were in full bloom. Now the hot weather is returning. We do have cherry tomatoes popping up. But it is indoor weather for me. I only do outdoor chores early in the morning.  We could use more rain, that would help stop the spread of fires when they are started. We barbeque a lot. We have company this week and our son0in-law Zach already smoked a pork butt and made several batches of fresh cookie. We play lots of games. Our daughter Hannah and her husbands Jake brought Kluster with them. You have to place these magnets inside a circle. It seems easy until....Hannah beat her dad, as it is a game for two to play. Then he turned around and beat me badly. Sigh.... Candyland is something we play with our grandsons. hahaha We do love games. If the weather is not too hot we play corn hole and have other outdoor lawn games.

2.We give you magic powers! You can change the climate, the surroundings, even  your house and anything you like. Tell us what you are doing to make your summer or your entire year better..... GO!

I would have great weather 24.7. Lots of good moisture but sunny skies in the daylight with perfect temps from 60 to 77/ I would make my house bigger so I could accommodate our growing phamily. I would have a screened in porch, I would drive a sensible car that would magically never have any mechanical problems. Life would be so grand. I would make sure kids with lower income phamilies would have  3square meals a day and lots of healthy snacks too. I would buy back my childhood home and entire neighborhood and make is the way it use to be without crime, beautiful yards with green lawns and flowers and now that I am older, I would add a huge living room window so I could look at Pikes Peak anytime I felt like it. I would help anyone who needed it.  We make sun tea and enjoy the good weather by going to baseball games . We love to sit on the patio and need a new cover for gazebo with the screen netting to keep the mosquitoes away from us.  We just like to surround ourselves with phamily. Good friends and I would blow more bubbles in memory of my friend Jessica who passed away unexpectedly two years ago in June. I would make more strawberry trifle in memory of my best friend Sharon who also passed away two years ago in May . It is her recipe and Rebekah has perfected it. In fact, she is making it for Hannah's birthday we are celebrating this week. 

3. The puppy on the boat at the right is your new friend.  He wants a name.  What name will you give him and  would you like to be in that picture (if you can't sail we will provide someone for you!) I would name him Skipper. My parents had a Skipper dog who disappeared before I was born. But my sister told me many stories about him so I would name him Skipper in memory of that phamily pet. I am not a huge fan of deep waters but I learned to water ski when I was young. I would have a captain sail me around with Skipper and we would all wear life jackets and be sensible so no one would be hurt. 

4.   It's friendship pot luck day at your house this month.  Everyone is  coming. Please assign us what dishes each of us are to bring to make for a great day.(by the way, you needn't use names. Just name some dishes  you would like people to bring along) Rebekah's Pasta Salad, Sharon's Trifle, my mom's ice box cheesecake,  burgers and brats and hotdogs/ Icy cold Lemonade or Ice Tea. Grilled veggies and Macaroni Salad and Potato Salad and Garden Salad too.

Happy Tuesday

A vintage kitten print from etsy UK that is baking. I truly love this. It made me happy when I saw it.

Oh Maxine we agree on everything today!
