Revisiting the wishing bench in 2023
Saturday I was not motivated. I had slid back into my funk. It could have been due to me not taking my happy pills the last two days. Needed to get them refilled. Or because my CPAP mask broke. Had to order a new one, took five days to arrive. Whatever the reason, I made myself get out of the house yesterday. Made a list of my to do’s while in Lawrence. It’s more difficult to remember things when I am in this funky mood.
My list included filling Adam’s pillbox, picking up Kevin’s and my prescriptions, picking up grocery order, having lunch with my mom and finally contributing to this week’s blog post. While making my list, the wishing bench popped into mind. It has been more than a couple years since I visited. I wondered if it was still even there. To my surprise, yes!
Below are close up images of this dreamy, happy bench!
If you would like to see the changes over the years, I have included links below to follow my previous visits.
Have you ever seen a bench like this before today, this post? I have not actually sat on the bench to make a wish. My next visit I will plan on making an addition to the set and make my own wish!
Take Care. Best wishes, Debra
I’ve never heard of a wishing bench. Neat. I’m with you on funk. And I call mine my happy pills too. Sending hugs your way.
Hi, Paula. Thank you for visiting! I should go by the wishing bench to see how it looks now. This may be closer to spring before I make it back.
Take care and best wishes.
I have never heard of a wishing bench. What a nice place to visit and spend a few minutes. Visiting from Gma’s Photo Generic linkup.
Hi, Jennifer. Thank you for visiting!
Take care and best wishes.
I’ve never heard of a wishing bench, but I love the idea! I hope you are feeling better! I found your blog on Denyse’s Wednesday link-up. It’s nice to “meet” you.
Thank you Christie! Lawrence is a college town and there are some quirky/fun things to see.
Take care and best wishes!
I’ve never heard of a wishing bench before, it sounds like a great idea!
Yes, a fun attraction!
That is so neat! I have never seen a wishing bench before.
The location of the bench is a neat area too. It’s in a historical section of Lawrence.
Have a wonderful day!
I admit I have never heard of anything like this till your post.
I am sometimes called GMa by my 3 adult grandkids too.
Thank you for linking up this week for WWandPics on Denyse Whelan Blogs to Connect. Next week, I hope you join in again too, and be there to read my “C” for change & connection post! Warm wishes, Denyse.
You’re welcome, Denyse. Thank you for having your parties!
Lawrence is a neat college town, home of the Kansas Jayhawks! It was when I was actively doing my photography that I found the wishing bench. I try to get back and see the changes ever so often.
Have a wonderful day!
I love this! I will have to make a visit.
Yes, for sure. Fun to see!
