Pink is More than a Color

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!

Take Care. Best wishes, Debra

Thankful Thanksgiving 2023

Thankful Thanksgiving 2023

Hi, I hope your Thanksgiving was family filled and joyous. Our Thanksgiving was for sure one to remember. Many wonderful memories made.

We celebrated Thanksgiving on Saturday. Which was totally fine with me. Erika is an RN who worked Thursday evening. I was able to get the house cleaned, table set and food smoked and the baking done in not a rush.

Friday morning we went to one of our favorite restaurants for breakfast. It was decorated for Christmas! Year round the walls are decorated with local interests, local high schools, and all sorts of fun and interesting ‘stuff’. One in particular caught my eye. And after seeing it, I said, thank you God!

Later in the day, Shaune, our son-in-law, and Briella came to the house. Shaune had a deer tag and wanted to hunt. Brie wanted to go too. They spent Friday and Saturday nights with us. It is so nice to have them over. Erika and Brynlee came and spent Saturday all day with us. My folks and Adam joined us Saturday as well. One photo opportunity I missed was a picture of all of us. Not too many more Thanksgivings will we all be together. I pray Christmas we can get our group picture. My mom has COPD and we burn wood. She was experiencing some difficulties and next year our get together may need to be at my daughter’s home.

Shaune and Brie was successful deer hunting. While I was not with them when the deer was shot, it was fun to listen to them when they came back to the house. We ate breakfast and Kevin took Shaune and Brie down in the tractor to find the deer after it ran. Shaune was able to tag it and take a picture of Brie.

Give a Stranger a Smile | #40 101 in 1001

Give a Stranger a Smile | #40 101 in 1001

Hi, Saturday I was brainstorming on what I would share with you today. It was while I was standing in line at Casey’s (a nice gas station with drinks and food) the 101 in 1001 idea came to mind. So I instantly knew what I would do for the day and share my experiences.

After pulling up to a pump to fill the car with gas, I went inside to pay. Never do I pay at the pump. There was two at the counter and then two ahead of me. #40 of my 101 in 1001 came to mind. So I said out loud to the two people in front of me that one of my 101 in 1001 is to give a smile to a stranger. One of the two was looking at me, I gave her a smile. The second person turned to look at me and I gave him a huge smile too. Both laughed and we engaged in more small talk that ended up being fun too. As the person paying at the counter was finished, he turned and gave me a huge smile. We all then laughed. It was a spontaneous moment that was a complete success, one I will remember.
