I Like Thursday # 487

 

Welcome to our list of likes, Thursday, and sunny hot Colorado. (January and temps + sun= hot)

I saw this aptly named truck along my walk this week.... 

dogs and cats seen on walks

this mini godendoodle was so charming...

then a cat came out of nowhere to chirp at us walking by

It did not linger,  but might have if I'd asked it to... It went a few paces ahead, sat down and turned back to give me such a look!!!  I rarely see cats... have allergic symptoms if I pet them but love them....

then later on the walk this sweet kitty meowed at us from a yard. 

I responded with hello beautiful! It meowed again, turned toward it's house then looked back at me, meowed again, flipped to it's back  wriggling and chirping! An obvious invitation to come play but I couldn't go into a closed gated yard with the excuse your cat invited me in! 

Canadian Geese are here for the winter, (they must be surprised at our heat too) and this one was the guard. The rest ate, meandered around the park, while he kept them safe. 

WE must have thousands of them in our neighborhood.  

pretty sunset

what are you doing for this new year so far???

noticed this on a walk, something left a question mark in the pavement!

I LOVED this great post  asking the hard questions then answering them...

Our conversation starter this week is

Have you ever lived anywhere else? 

 

I grew up in Tampa Florida, living there until I went away to College in Tenn for a year. 

I returned to Univ of South Florida to graduate, and work for a few years

My longtime boyfriend and I decided I needed to move where he was living at the time, to see if we could make a go of it.... he had moved to Edmonton Alberta Canada from Toronto by then, so I lived in Utah with my sister's family while I waited for a work visa in Edmonton. 

Eventually I did move to Canada but after a long recovery from Meningitis there, I returned to Tampa to recover my strength and worked there another 6 years or so before.... 

meeting my now husband at a contra dance. We decided to marry and within a year he had chosen a job in Baltimore so off we went.  Our labra-daughter Chelsea loved seeing snow the first time! We were there a long time before seeking the novelty and cold weather of Colorado. 

Jokes on us, global warming had made it hot here, virtually no winter at all this year. 

I have enjoyed all the places I've lived and visited.... my family owned a small Inn in NC and we visited often as I grew up. My sister lived many different states and I used to spend summers with her in each. 

we are interested in moving to France but I'm scared. I swear I've tried to learn the language but.... 

 

For Americans, our season of The Traitors started but I'm obsessed so I'm waiting til they accumulate more than 3 episodes to start! 

if you need me, I'll be sewing.... Project Quilting began, and Stay at home round robin too... I'll post my SAHRR center on Friday.... whee!

please visit these kind people to see what they like this week
