I Like Thursday # 245

learning about shading using Basford coloring calendar

 Here it is, Thursday again! How time flies when you're looking for things you like! I continue to enjoy learning about blending color and shading using my calendar pages and prismacolor watercolor pencils

 

Let's get this party started with:

I'm on book three of the Baby Ganesh Agency series and LOVE it

 I finished the audio book  What we Find by Robyn Carr... I admit I almost stopped halfway through but glad I didn't as it picked up momentum and I enjoyed it enough to want to read book two in the series

 Joy and I managed to piece together zoom for video and phones for audio in order to visit this week. Just like quilting! We made it work and had fun! 

Last week I zoomed with Cindy in SC on my birthday and that was so so so much fun.

We caught several episodes of Aberdeen Curl, international curling competition on the Olympics Channel, and we both love curling. Don't judge. 

I got extra points this week because I used up the vege about to go bad! Yea! I made fajitas with onions and peppers that were on their last... the old cleaned carrots and celery went into lentil soup,  I made Greek potato salad with potatoes who watched me as I peeled them (lots of eyes)  we finished off some desserts, some yogurt drinks, and one cheese dip that was dated the day we noticed it in the fridge!  

speaking of food, I so can't wait to try this recipe... and all his recipes!  from Spain on a fork!

I found this cool youtube channel called homeworthy that takes you on tours of real people's homes that would be great to see in person! Not to mention I watched three and would like to be friends with all of them!

here's one ( link here)


 

 I couldn't love this dance more...

 Milo's Moments

I going to bed now Mama!

Mama: well leave space for me!

 Milo: oh don't worry mama, you won't wake me just snuggle into the big bed... but don't rush up, I plan to spread out and enjoy falling deep asleep and having poodle dreams right away!

Mama: er, that's what I'm afraid of Milo... you take up most of the bed and sleep so soundly I can't push you over!

Milo: yep! You'll never be cold with me around!

Mama: oh yes, and let's talk about the peepee you got on your legs , and your ring toy this week. 

Milo: Silly Mama! those are not bedtime stories ! come pet me a story then go back downstairs for a while, okay?

please visit these fine people keeping lists of their own, and let me know if you write a list for this week, small or large we will come visit!

Hi LeeAnna,
Nothing wrong with Curling :)
Have you heard about Hunters stew ? You hunt for things in the fridge, freezer, pantry and cupboards and make some stew :)
Your meals sound good !
hugs,
Take care,
Joanne

We enjoy watching curling sometimes, too I didn't know there was an Olympics channel. That look on Milo's face is precious - he's definitely got something important to tell you!

Curling, it is one of those sports which is very soothing to watch. I am having the same problem, food going bad before I get it consumed. LOL um Bobbin is much smaller and takes a huge amount of space on the bed too.

Sara said...

I watching curling too. It totally intrigues me! Your book recommendations had me going to Amazon to see what they were about. I'm always looking for something interesting and new to read. Thanks! We might need to figure out a time to meet on Zoom as well.

My sister and her husband used to be in a curling league in dallas before they had kids. They loved it!! And I sympathize about dogs in beds! I didn't bring in Spooky's crate the first night after I got back from Dallas and he slept with me- he's a terrible bed partner; will not move, cannot be pushed out of the way, must sleep with his whole self touching you and snuggling ever closer until you are pushed out of the bed.

Becky said...

Thanks so much for sharing the fabulous dance video! I had such a bad day yesterday and sleepless night and now I’ve spent 1/2 hour watching Nils and Bianca with a smile on my face. Nice job with the shading on your calendar page!

Timmy Tomcat said...

What a fun post and Milo, keep your bed space!

Meditations in Motion said...

You get bonus points for using up al the veggies before they went bad. I love it when I do that. Thanks for sharing the recipe. It looks very good!

No judgment from me on the curling - it's a big thing here in Minnesota, don't cha know?! Your watercolor calendar page is looking so nice! Milo, you are as handsome as ever!

Brian's Home Blog said...

Your coloring art sure is pretty! That lady sure has some interesting things in her house and I like all the little bunnies. Milo, I agree pal, hold out for a better bedtime story! Thanks for joining our Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!

Hi LeeAnna! That dance video is just fab!! Wow, do they have the moves. And what a pretty quilt you have on your bed. I hope Milo doesn't get it dirty! {{Hugs}} ~smile~ Roseanne

Sherrie said...

Hi,
Love your coloring...so pretty. Really liked the dance
video...Our dog, Bob, does the same thing. When he stretches out, he takes up the whole end of the couch. Have a great day!

Why was Milo heading for bed before sunset??? Silly, Milo! Don't you know you're supposed to be "on patrol" until the sun goes down? :P

LA Paylor said...

it was a re enactment since I can't take pics when he's sleepy and it's dark!

Miaismine said...

I remember enjoying Robyn Carr's series. Yum! I believe I've found a new foodie blogger to follow! His recipes look delicious and easy! I've never thought of looking at other people's homes on youtube, but, now that we might be entering into a major renovation, I might start! I happily linked up to you today! Take care!

grammajudyb said...

I enjoyed both videos so much! I’m not a dancer, but boy do I like to watch others dance! Thanks!

Angie said...

LA - belated Happy Birthday! Good for you to use up the food - it reminded me of my husband - he is so creative with foodstuffs! Loved the dance video - so genuine and eye-catching! Enjoy your weekend!

Michele McLaughlin said...

Great likes! I love your coloring page! Milo cracks me up!!! Have a great week!

PaintedThread said...

That pasta recipe looks good! Bed hogs! I know how that goes.

Rosemary Dickinson said...

Your art work is wonderful! I watched curling during the Olympics but I still haven't really figured it out. Milo is cute as ever!

Michelle said...

Well, I like curling! I feel like it is a sport I could compete in! lol Thanks for the Homeworthy link. I LOVE looking at homes and how people decorate/organize them. Thanks for linking up.

Tails Around the Ranch said...

I too enjoy curling! We're hoping Milo allow you some room on the bed. Pretty quilt.

Hi My name is Rebecca.i just want to share my experience with the world on how i got my love back and saved my marriage… I was married for 7 years with 4 kids and we lived happily until things started getting ugly and we had a fights and arguments almost every time… it got worse at a point that he filed for divorce… I tried my best to make him change his mind & stay with me cause i loved him with all my heart and didn’t want to loose him but everything just didn’t work out… he moved out of the house and still went ahead to file for divorce… I pleaded and tried everything but still nothing worked. The breakthrough came when someone introduced me to this wonderful, great spell caster Dr Zuma, who eventually helped me out… I have never been a fan of things like this but just decided to try reluctantly cause I was desperate and left with no choice… He did special prayers and cast a love spell on him. Within 24hours he called me and was sorry for all the emotional trauma he had cost me, moved back to the house and we continue to live happily, the kids are happy too and we are expecting our fourth child… I have introduced him to a lot of couples with problems across the world and they have had good news… Just thought I should share my experience cause I strongly believe someone out there needs it… You can contact him on spiritualherbalisthealing@gmail.com whatsapp +15068001647

After being in relationship with Wilson for seven years,he broke up with me, I did everything possible to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so much because of the love I have for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to someone online and she suggested that I should contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back but I am the type that don’t believed in spell, I had no choice than to try it, I meant a spell caster called Dr Zuma zuk and I email him, and he told me there was no problem that everything will be okay before three days, that my ex will return to me before three days, he cast the spell and surprisingly in the second day, it was around 4pm. My ex called me, I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that happened, that he wanted me to return to him, that he loves me so much. I was so happy and went to him, that was how we started living together happily again. Since then, I have made promise that anybody I know that have a relationship problem, I would be of help to such person by referring him or her to the only real and powerful spell caster who helped me with my own problem and who is different from all the fake ones out there. Anybody could need the help of the spell caster, his email: spiritualherbalisthealing@gmail.com or WhatsApp him +15068001647 blog: spiritualherbal.blogspot.com you can email him if you need his assistance in your relationship or anything.
