welcome to this week's list of likes.... I like lights and roses on my mantel with my fabric butterfly hanging there.
The weather is bizarre, we've had both snow and nearly 70F temps this week.
What better thing to do than find the little things to like this week, but before that, I am sad to the core about school shootings.. 23 people killed or injured
at 13 school shootings in the last three months alone. The vast majority of American's want some kind of limits put on firearms, including people who own guns. and yet...
now on with the things I found to like this week...
Sketchbook Revival lessons
I'm enjoying painting and drawing again, that post will be tomorrow or Saturday but a sneak peak:
reading
on ebook from prime, The Singing Trees and gosh I love Boo Walker's prose, characters, and storytelling...
on audio books
recommended by Rosemary one of our I Like people at knittingquilter
I loved the last book by this author and am engrossed already in this story with character development
I just finished this one by Ellery Adams and loved it, about story telling, a mystery, and authors angst
Watching
we saw two movies on netflix
"Your place or mine", with Ashton Kutcher and Reese Witherspoon... what happened to his face? and we enjoyed it but not a lot
"Love Guaranteed" a quirky story about a man suing a dating site because he dated many women and didn't fall in love... til.... our review? meh... didn't change the channel and I highly enjoyed Damon Wayans handsome face but predictable.
sorry not to have a rave but some you win, some you lose, some don't leave an impression
Watching on youtube
if only people looked for love not differences, nice video ....
would you rather find companionship and love or fight? Me? companionship all the way!
Watching on the short videos:
love.... sharing love isn't hard to do

Milo's Moments
Milo here... about easter bunnies... yep I'd like an easter bunny to play with...
Mama: oh, they are chocolate honey, not good for healthy doggies
Milo: who said I wanted a chocolate one. heh heh. As to treats, I'll just have one of those amaretti cookies please, since they are almond flour not wheat. A side of whipped cream too.
