Return of summer tv shows like Love Island, and the start of Destination X where people have to figure out where in the world they are with only clues. Brokenwood has been terrific as always.

now I usually stay away from that era as I see similarities with today but good writing and fabulous readers caught me.
Chatting with neighbors who have also lost beloved animals.... somehow sharing loss helps, knowing another person understands the bereavement. We all hope to recover and love again, not replacing as you cannot replace a loved one, but you can love again.

Our Prompt this week
What was your favorite token when playing monopoly?
Mine was the shoe, or the scotty dog. According to records the dog was number one, and shoe was #8
I enjoyed playing with neighbor kids, but we seldom played til it was over.... I think it made me a faster math person, I loved the chance cards, the money so colorful tucked under my side of the board.
how about you? did you play monopoly or any of the newer versions?

Yay to the picket fence - I need something like that upside down at the front of my verandah.
The flamingo quilt is just delightful!! The button and stitching is just the perfect enhancement to the poodle.
I love your list of delightful things -- especially the purple poodle and how the button is sewed on with bright embroidery thread and large stitches!
Your flamingo piece is so fun!
The flamingos are beautiful. And no, I only played Monopoly once. I don't like it. I only play scrabble. Have a nice weekend! Regula
The roses are so pretty this time of year! Lots of them blooming around here, too. I love that yard art. Your post from Cole was so fun - those dogs have quite the personality!
Ha! I like your smiling bread. Cute purple poodle - I'm really fascinated how you stitched that button. So cool!
I so enjoy your posts and your art. The blooms are lovely too.
I like those roses. I don't have any on the farm. These are beautiful. I also like the flamingo with the colorful stitches. You are talented.
Those roses are so darn pretty and yes, I see that bread face LOL! I really like flamingos too, they are so delicate and beautiful. Thanks for joining Angel Brian's Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
Love the fence and the beautiful pink roses! I see flamingos everywhere here. They seem to be loved by so many.
So lovely roses
yes, pink is happy.
Yes, i used tomplay monopoly as a child (we played lots of board games in winter´) i don't remember the tokens though.
I love your flamingo and button with stitches.Purple is also happy.
Enjoy your weekend,
Lisca
I love your flamingoes piece - you're going to have such fun stitching on that.
As for monopoly, I think maybe I might have played it once. Growing up an only child on a farm meant there wasn't much in the way of playing board games.
