I Like Thursday And Other Stuff

Life has been really up, down, and crazy lately, hasn't it!

Sometimes it's hard to find the good in things and people, but thankfully we keep trying.
 Lee Anna at Not Afraid of Color has weekly posts on Thursday, along with other sweet
bloggers, sharing "likes" in their lives. I thing we all need to stop and look for those likes!

I like...

My new home. Old home, but new to us, anyway.

We moved, twice, since March. Of course, it had to be in the middle of the Covid 19

pandemic...ugh. The first move took us from Utah to a small condo near Las Vegas.

Two days after the move we were asked to stay home. That meant not being around

our grandsons because we're in that risky age factor thing. 

What we thought would be just a couple weeks turned into months. Looking for a home

when people don't want to let you in their house to see it was quite challenging. 

Luckily, we found one we liked and the paperwork began, almost all of it online.

Combining two households and some of my mother-in-law's things was quite a 

challenge. We have way too much stuff! Unfortunately, the donation spots all closed 

because of the virus, so that was another challenge. I'm now down to just four 

colanders instead of 10, two sets of silverware instead of six. Furniture was in 

abundance, too. Luckily, the people who bought our house in Utah took a lot of it.

I like...

My family!

Before the move, they threw me a surprise birthday party at the condo. 

We observed proper social distancing but this was so good for all of us after almost two

 months of not being together. Pizza, salad, and donuts for dessert...it was awesome!

They've been so helpful with the move and we couldn't have done it without them.

They make me smile even when I'm totally exhausted from moving!

I like...

My new sewing room and cabinets.

There's still a lot of work to be done in this room and I've been crawling over boxes
to sew masks and quilts, but it's getting there. It has horrible lighting though!



I like...
My backyard.



There's a lemon tree.

Typical desert landscaping with a pine tree and a palm tree together.

There's a wagonwheel.

It even came with Rolladen shutters. We're ready for the zombies or apocalypse! 

 I like...

My friend, Cynthia, has survived the Covid virus. 

She had been in the hospital since March with it and just went to rehab this week. 

It was up and down for her, but she kicked it...yay! I don't just like this fact, I love it!

I like...
YOU!

Thank you for being a part of my blogging life!
Stay safe, healthy, and be creative.
