I LIKE Thursday 10.12.23

Joining LeeAnna and others at Not Afraid of Color to share some likes this week. It’s definitely Fall in Wyoming!  We had a freeze last Friday night and that left my friend’s pumpkins and squash showing their lovely orange. And cooler temps and possibly rain and snow are predicted for today! 

I’m participating in Autumn Jubilee over at From My Carolina Home. This will be a candle mat!  Or a Mason Jar mat!

It’s school picture time!  This absolutely adorably handsome lad is related to me. I won’t share his name or where he lives, but can you say “ future lawyer”? He’s in Kindergarten! 

This praying mantis appeared on the wall of the garage last week. It’s the second one this year, and the second one ever, that I have seen. I happened to have my phone in my pocket! 

Rainbow Neighbourhood is back from the quilt show and hanging in our living room. That is my space, where I sit and stitch or write blog posts! It makes me so happy ! 

Mr Busy and I were coming home from running errands and found these four autumn displays on each corner of one intersection on our downtown area. 

This one is in front of Rapscallions Barbershop! A really cool, manly upscale shop that specializes in hot towel shaves! ⤴️

Across the street is a building that is now for sale, but was the post office when we came here in 1977! ⤴️

This corner houses our tallest building. It is a bank with offices in the seven stories. I used to work in Suite 626. ⤴️

And on this corner is a coffee shop called The Local! 

Excuse the photos taken from the car windows! Thus the side mirrors and steering wheel! 🤪. I think the displays are awesome. 

Saw this on a Facebook page! Yup! I think it must be true! LOL!

 And before you’re bored, I should probably answer the prompts from LeeAnna for this week. 

what ethnic foods do you like? ex: most of us like Italian, but how about Vietnamese? Thai? Mexican? Cuban? German? Swedish? others?

My absolute favorite is Mexican, hands down!  I like Chinese too, and have just discovered Thai dishes.

do you get take out, eat at a special place,  or have you learned to make a version at home? 

We eat take out from Taco Bell, and a regional favorite called Taco John’s. Our little town has several Mexican restaurants owned and run by Latinx families. All are great, our favorite is Las Margaritas. And I’m pretty good at Tex-Mex at home. Chicken Enchiladas, Street Tacos, Taco Salad , and of course Chili! We have Mexican inspired meals at least one a week. Even when I was going through Chemo 20 years ago, I craved Mexican when I was home from the hospital! 

ex: I grew up eating Cuban food at restaurants, and still make arroyo con pollo (chicken and yellow rice) at least once a month

I want to try LeeAnna’s Arroyo con Pollo! I’m sure I would like that too! 

Stay Busy and Stay Happy and Healthy and Hopeful!
