I Like Thursday #141

Welcome to this week's list of likes! There is always something to like during the week, right?

We went to a little mountain town called Georgetown last weekend. We hoped to go to Santa Fe for my birthday but it was raining so we decided to postpone that trip. Georgetown was a center for a lot of mining towns, holding entertainment, courthouses, hotels, etc. It still has many original buildings so we walked around and absorbed the history. I enjoyed an antique shop where I saw something called a square baby grand piano... never heard of that. The lovely ladies in the first image, and lots of architectural details

lovely doors

concrete sidewalks

unusual fences

pretty outbuildings

inviting porches, look at the carved balustrade

fancy solarium's for mid 1800's mining town

It snowed while we were there... oy vey!
I liked this saying carved on a ceramic cup

"Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much" by Helen Keller

and that Milo picked it out
I loved that a jewelry store owner told me that every day she wakes up and asks God to help her to do good things for people, that she be able to say or do something to make someone's life better.
That's a really nice balance to people who are only out for their own good.


all this and a flamingo sighting...

Milo had a good time meeting people... this woman said he looked like he needed a good ear scratch

Milo here... I like attention. I like new smells, and going with Mama and Daddy for a rideinnacar.

I like having my ears rubbed by nearly any person who feels right, and she did. I got a little worried when Mama went off by herself in the clothes shop. First of all I don't get the whole "clothes wearing thing" anyway but Mama went off and forgot that I can tell her what to buy or not. I told her when she found her way back to us, not to leave us like that again.

Then I told her to buy some candy for us. She said she would have liked to see me pretending to smoke that pink bubblegum cigar but the store was closed.

LeeAnna here... I like walking around a historic area and imagining how it looked when first built.

This week my friend Shannon sent me a proof copy of another SAQA show she is in, and that was awesome surprise. Also in the surprise category was a birthday gift from my friend Linda in MD. She got me a Jacquie Lawson Garden activity game like the ones at Christmas. Only now I can start my flowers online as well as play games. Perfect thoughtful gifts!  I got a lovely card painted by Monika too.

I loved Survivor this season, although my guy didn't win I love watching.
We went to the Denver Botanical Gardens on my birthday and that will have it's own post as it was a full day of beauty.

I loved finishing up my sketchbook revival class, and am re watching some videos. I learned so much and drew so many pretty images, I recommend doing it next year if Karen Abend does it again. I liked this method of painting faces so much I went back and painted each teacher's face on my sketch page. More later...

I'll leave you with this image...
