Pink is More than a Color.

Hi, pink is one of my favorite colors. I have favorite colors for different reasons. For example, when I play board games, I always pick the green pieces. Did you ever play the one called, ‘Sorry or Trouble‘? My kids always knew, green was mine! 🙂

Let me tell you how pink became one of my favorites. It actually snuck up on me. That’s right, snuck and not sneaked! It started with the tape dispenser. I bought a black dispenser. At our previous house my husband and I shared a desk and all was fine and dandy. Until we moved into our new to us home. We now have two desks, his & her’s. My husband has taken over this dispenser.

You might be thinking, no big deal. And you are probably right. Well, next I bought one of those bluetooth speakers that work with my phone. I use the speaker mainly in the summer while poolside or working in the yard. That speaker disappeared. Then resurfaced at one of our family gatherings, Kevin had latched onto it!

It took a bit of time, but I found a solution. The solution is the color pink! Pink was beginning to be a favorite for me when I was shopping for electronic organizers. I was pretty bored with just gray and black colors to choose from. Well, I found one in pink! So score for me! Well, when I replaced my speaker and tape dispenser, they made pink ones. So I replaced mine with pink ones. Kevin, I know will not latch onto pink. 🙂

Now, if I can just find a pink hammer, pink tape measure and a pink toolbox, I will be all set! 🙂

Pink is more than a color: It’s a statement!

I have added to my pink collection!

Day Out with my Children

Hi, October was my thankful, grateful month. I am back to my usual series of postings that will be available these particular days: Monday, weekly post; Thursday, Tongue-Tied LinkUp Party and Friday, Gma’sPhoto | ge•ner•ic LinkUp Party.

Had a super fun Saturday with just me and my kids. This does not happen too often. I had asked them for a picture of the three of us. Then I wanted to have one of just my two children. It will go well with the past image series.

Picnic in the Park

This weekend Kevin asked that I go with him to the ‘Picnic in the Park’ for the homeless on Sunday. One of my 101 in 1001 goals is to go with Kevin more, and Sunday was a nice day for November. This week there was not as many people who went thru the line.

Hi there! It’s funny how I can go from frozen favs to hot favs. Today I am grateful for my little Mr. Coffee and hot chocolate! I don’t do coffee but use my pot for hot chocolate, hot cider and hot tea on cold days.

Take Care. Best wishes, Debra

Hi, today I am grateful for humor. Humor can certainly lighten the mood! A friend sends daily emails with inspiration. And today she sent the following image.

I had just gone over to my thermostat and considered adjusting it! Then I got this email 🙂 We keep our thermostat around 62 – 64. Normally Kevin will light the wood stove to supplement the furnace heat. Today I pulled out the sweatshirt, and layered with a t-shirt, sweatpants, socks and slippers. I kept comfortable. Getting a tease of colder weather and not liking it.

Hi, today I am grateful for lazy day. Sitting in a warm house, eating hot gumbo and watching the Chiefs play football. I stayed in my P.J’s all day. Did get the bed sheets washed and put back onto the bed. Washed a load of towels and that is just about it. Felt good today!
