5 on Friday!

Greetings Al!  

 It's time for 5 ON FRIDAY -
provided on Thursday for your reading enjoyment!

 5 things I've been thinking about lately and may or may not interest you.

1.  New Senior Photos.  I thought I really liked Maddie's senior photos from last summer -- until we did a "redo" of  senior photos that I'm calling - Part 2 - the Graduate. The new ones really look more like her and capture her beautiful smile and spirit, so I'm including a few spread through this post!  Maddie had a change in plans and is attending our local community college now. 

2.  Traffic Around Here Lately.   I think I got used to very little traffic during the big shutdown.  You know,  I've always been a bit of a nervous driver, but now I find myself going out of my way to avoid making left-turns at certain intersections!  

Yes, it's true -- I'm that little old lady who goes slow and stops at yellow lights. 

 Hey people behind me - - deal with it!

3.  The Littles.  Oh my goodness, the littles are getting so big!  Jane is 10!!  

What the heck??  The baby, Gloria, is 1-1/2 and I believe she inherited my curly hair.
Well, both her mom and dad  have kinda curly hair too,
but let's say it's from me.

 Of course, it looks adorable on her. 

4.  Flamingo.  Have you heard of that Flamingo product for self-waxing???  

I bought some ages ago (before the pandemic) and  was afraid to use it. 

 Don't be afraid if you have some too and haven't tried it. 

 It doesn't hurt and it also doesn't do a very good job.  

Note to self - make real waxing appointment soon!

5.  The New Blogger.  What the heck is going on with Blogger?  

Makes me sad that it is tricky to do blog posts.  

Thanks to Laurie L for pointing out how to "Revert to Legacy Blogger" but it appears

 that  we will continue to have to revert until they take the legacy blogger away entirely.  

Happy Friday Friends!!

Five on Friday!

Since I've been so neglectful of the blog,

 I thought I better get a quick "5 on Friday" post!

1.   Garden Shoes.   I LOVE these so-called garden shoes -- I also wear them when it's rainy as I don't want my shoes to get soaked.  From Target in the garden area on discount shelves!

2.  Trader Joe's Serum.  I'm not into a lot of face creams, anti-aging lotions (although I probably should be), but I found this serum from Trader Joe's that is reportedly the exact same as a $75+ serum!  I'll take the $10 Trader Joe's stuff.  It does make your face feel amazing! 

 But sadly, the wrinkles are still there! 

3.  Panera's Strawberry Poppyseed Salad with Chicken.   Just YUM!  I'm not a salad eater, but this salad is divine!  I would eat it every day if Panera was closer!

Getting my daily dose of fruit and vegetables - go me!

4.  Instax Camera.   These little Instax cameras are so fun and remind me of the good old days when Polaroid cameras were around.  Did you know Polaroids are back??  We love having one of these little bitty cameras to get a photo of the littles sometimes!

5.  Pink Lemonade.  Miss M couldn't believe that I could actually make some pink lemonade from a can of  frozen pulp and water!  Who knew???  Of course I knew.  We used to always make lemonade and orange juice from the frozen cans and then I'd use the cleaned out cans as 

rollers to attempt to straighten my hair!  :) 

Dual purpose back in the day!  

Would love to hear about your favorite 5!
