I Like Thursday #224

 

welcome to this week's list of likes... 

I like glowing trees in the entry lighting my way at night.

I like trying new recipes like the date, cherry, coconut bars here


Milo: Me too... I like Mama's baking and licking spoons

I love fresh citrus this time of year!

I like hickory farms turkey sausage slices on crackers with pepper jelly

I like finishing old project and hanging them up right away! (close up pics Saturday)

I like sketching faces while I watch videos on line... looking at what makes a person unique is a good exercise 

I like this view as we come in the front door

I enjoyed watching the finale of several shows like the Bachelorette last night. I loved her choice and that most of her choices were fine men as she is a fine strong woman.

I like watching the Time Team again, found more episodes and I love anthropology. I like The South Westerlies show on BBC, and that there is to be a Call the Midwife special on Christmas day on PBS. 

I like that DH is off the week between Christmas and New years so we can relax, watch movies, try recipes and did I say relax? 

My book on hold came in!

 almost finished with this audio book

I liked talking to four friends all on Tuesday this week!

heartwarming videos of love....

I'm feeling broken of body this week, lots of problems so I am feeling my age, and enjoyed this... 

Christmas in the 1950's... and as those things go, in families, your traditions continue into the future... I fondly remember the tree glistening with tinsel.... placed on a branch one by one, not thrown on as an entire package mind you. That was before the later 60's when we got that gold tree with the three color wheel that shown on it!


  toys from the 1950's... fun music to go with lots of memories

 I wish you all happy holidays however you are spending them. We can still find happiness as we stay safe at home, and we are loved no less for staying home this year. 

being VERY good for Santa!
Y'all stay home, pet your furbabies, eat good food, listen to pretty music and I'll see you soon!


Please visit these people keeping lists of their own this week!

    Tell Milo he's not the only one who likes to lick the spoon! Love singing along to Christmas music, too. I'm also looking forward to the Call the Midwife special tomorrow! Have a good Christmas, LeeAnna!

    Wow! You are creating even when you watch online videos? So impressive. We have a ceramic tree just like yours. It used to be my mother-in-law's. Merry Christmas, Lee Anna!

    I like your lighted ceramic tree. I didn't know summer sausage came in turkey! That first video has me crying... how sweet. The other videos brought back fond memories of much more elaborate city street decorations, and window shopping. I had a scooter! and that wagon :)

    Merry Christmas Eve!

    Enjoy your week relaxing with Drew. Forget about the world outside. Sorry that you are having a bad week. I don't do well at Christmas so I just try to get through each day and wait for the New Year. I made some lemon squares to share with a quilting buddy whose birthday is today. I also made Russian Tea Cakes and that's it for my holiday baking. We're expecting a storm later today, so I'm glad we don't have to go anywhere. Merry Christmas to you, Drew and Milo.

    Merry Christmas to you both and to sweet Milo!! We are staying home just the 2 of us. We'll figure out later when to deliver the gifts to the grandkids. For tonight we're doing hors d'oeuvres - shrimp cocktail, BBQ little smokies, and bacon wrapped water chestnuts. Most likely we'll drink a little wine and watch a movie.

    Merry Christmas Lana and enjoy your time relaxing with hubby. Great likes. So all the stuff which we had growing up in the 50's-60's and the style is called Mid Century modern. LOL So does that make us mid century mods?

    Hi LeeAnna! Merry Merry Christmas to you and yours! Gosh, I haven't had Hickory Farm sausage in ages. It used to be a staple at Christmas time. Milo is sitting like the good boy that he is. {{Hugs}} ~smile~ Roseanne

    Cherry bars look good. So does that sausage! I just got the Last Mrs Summers from the library, too! Good stuff. Merry Christmas!
