I Like Thursday # 501 phones, love 'em or not

 

welcome to a very short post of likes this week... starting with tulips! 

I LOVE tulips and these neighbors' are pretty in purple to pinks

It's been nearly too hot to walk this week, but I have a couple photos...

(Alfie:  well, it is hot and one might think the mama would appreciate her poodle reminding her to stop and smell the roses! Of course while we stop I'll be smelling the trees and grass to check my pee-mail)

the higher peaks got a bit of snow which you can't see well in this photo.... but we have temps in mid 80's plus sun heat. Some people like it hot, I'm not one of them

LOVE a good shadow photo

conversation starter this week:

For National telephone day,  what is your relationship with phones? lol

always have it with you? Check it at intervals or use it mainly for calls? Remember when there was one phone for the family hanging on the wall? Remember party lines? Do you use a phone as a computer even tho the screen is so small? Fave apps on the phone? 


I do not like my phone. I loved my prior phone but it was no longer supported. I do not carry it around all the time, I am not constantly scrolling on it. It's too small to see the screen well. It does not take good photos. I have a music app so I can hear 70's songs on my walks. 

I grew up with a party line, and it was so weird to hear other people talking. We had a dial phone that sat on a phone table in the hall. Then when I was in high school I got an princess phone in my room but my mother made it her life's work to listen in on all my calls anyway.  

In my first apt, I had a wall phone in the kitchen,,, the cord was always twisted up like my neck from holding it while I cooked.

I have a computer and an ipad for looking up stuff, so I really like to use my phone for calls. 

does that make me old?

very funny, fun read, real life dialogue

listening on audio in the studio

reading on Ebook


watching survivor, finishing Emily in Paris, looking forward to Brokenwood, Virgen river, (believe it or not, Farmer wants a wife) 

I'm loving the lessons in Sketchbook Revival, drawing and painting again is awesome

We were to think of ourselves in some part of life, paint a selfie, and write about the memories over it... 
so far I drew the teacher, and my memory of being a teen at the beach and am thinking about what to write, hoping I don't make an ink splot on the painting

Alfie, do you have likes to add? 
Alfie: sure do Mamacita. I like sleeping on my big boy bed instead of in a kennel, and keeping an eye on you all night. I like nipping at your hands, and daddy's hands to get you to play with me in our yard, I liked seeing the nice couple who stopped to chat and might, not sure, like their chihuahua Burito. 
I like running up and down the stairs and if mama's there I always beat her both up and down! I'm loving it in this family!!!




please visit these folk to see what they liked this week...

We love the tulips too! I only take my cell phone with me when I'm driving - just in case I need AAA. I can remember listening in on calls when we had a party line and that was YEARS ago. We are so happy that you are loving your new life with your new family, Alfie!
