I LIKE Thursday ~ Vacation?

All our favorite network shows have been having the Season Finales! One favorite, NCIS: Los Angeles had their final finale. That show will not return. It ran for 14 seasons.


I don’t have a summer replacement that I’m looking forward to. Maybe I’ll get some books read!
These are on my TBR list!

I was grateful that we were able to host our oldest granddaughter’s birthday celebration. We had a very good day!

The birthday girl in her tiara and her youngest, our Miss B. That’s her husband in the background trying to be invisible!

I made  dark chocolate brownies and an amaretto-less cheesecake. It’s my sister’s fabulous recipe, but I left the Amaretto out because our daughter has a nut allergy! It was still awesome..

My Lily of the Valley are blooming! It makes me happy!

I changed out the Mother’s Day stuff on my buffet. Patriotic for Memorial Day!

The flowers are still left from Mother’s Day, I just changed out the container. A clear vase set in a patriotic woven bucket. Little bowl fillers I stitched last year and a chicken pincushion in red, white and blue. 

 LeeAnna’s prompt for this week is:

if you could go on vacation anywhere right now, where would it be? tell us why you chose that place... imagine how long you'd like to be there, and what you'd like to do there....

This one got me to thinking! When I think of vacations they require air travel mostly. And that won’t be happening again unless I go by myself. Mr Busy, refuses to fly anymore. I dream of a beach vacation! Sun and sand and Caribbean blue water. Sitting on a chair under an umbrella reading. Someone young and tan and male bringing me umbrella drinks! Like pina coladas, Mai tais, or a Yellow Bird! I’d stay at least a week, maybe two! Other than sitting on the beach or poolside, I’d eat great food, maybe take a moonlight/ sunset cruise! 

That’s what sounds good to me! 

I’m joining LeeAnna and friends to celebrate the good things in life! 

**If there are multiple fonts as you read this post, I apologize. I tried, and tried to get them all the same. I'm throwing my hands in the air!  I don't know how to fix it except maybe to start over. and it's too late for that. I know you all will understand. 

Stay Busy and Stay Happy and Healthy and Hopeful!
