I Like Thursday # 404 Summer, sauces and white pants (2024)

welcome to this week's list of likes... starting with hand dyed cotton socks from ArtFabrik

Mine are quite old and still useable... it's still birthday month, and my friend sonja in Hawaii sent me a package that included this hand painted/made/sewn card plus some of her hand dyed fabric bits, two cool coasters, and

the best scented soap ever! I love this soap, she sent it another time and I used it up!

Likes this week...

I store them in clean jam jars

> I made my own ketchup, my own BBQ sauce, and Chocolate syrup from recipes found online... DH said they are better than store bought and no chemicals!! I added a bit of arrowroot to thicken it a little, Now to eat up that chocolate sauce...

> I like pistachio ice cream and vanilla ice cream with chocolate sauce!

> We started watching a Hallmark movies and mysteries show called garage sale mysteries... we both like it now that we watched several of them over the long weekend

> We both like the series Brokenwood, Murdoch Mysteries, Midsomer, we are working our way through Call the Midwife, sadly some shows ended this week but Big Brother starts in July.

>I like the folding table we got at the home improvement store, to help me sort my supplies to put away. I had a tall table, but it's used for Milo now...

My back is not well, and I'm in treatment but my nerves are pinched terribly... so a tall table is a God-send. I still can't do much but painted this week: more on the creativity post Saturday but here is a close up...

I like that DH asked if it was a self portrait... I sure hope this is how he sees me... I do have green eyes tho lol

> I like the books I'm reading on audio:

and on Ebook, by the talented Rhys Bowen... next in the Molly Murphy series

> my new hobby is peeping at our resident mama... now that her eggs have turned into wee birdies!

I watch her trying to not get pushed out of her little home by the growing chicks... I was looking down and thought, she's gotten kind of fat, and dark... but it was about 3 babies wiggling around under her. They make a lot of noise, and I don't see her leaving them so how is she feeding the babies?

She looks me right in the eye when I look down at her from Milo's window. I imagine she's saying

" I'm tired of these kids! I need a chick sitter, would that poodle do it? Surely he can chase off squirrels and cats and hawks!

Mommy, his bark is worse than his bite!

our prompt this week is Memorial day is the opening of pools, summer and wearing white pants

I like white pants, and have several capri's in cream or white. One is gauzy and artsy. I love a tight pair of white jeans in summer, with a cute top. LOVE white shorts with a long top. ALL color tops go with white. I also love a white sandal, or did before foot issues took precedence.

As a fresh young thing, I wore hip huggers, with halter tops, sandals, all summer. Except during those monthlies.

Milo's Moments

Milo: Hiya! it's been hot but I'm coping, don't worry. Mostly I get active at night. Since Mama has been leaving the house to go to the human vets, I am back staying in my crate when alone. I LOVE my crate and now that it's back I go in a lot on my own.

I don't wear white pants, BTW. bwaaaa hahaha imagine me in pants! They wouldn't be white long

In case you want to paint me Mama, my eyes are golden brown, heh heh

Daddy has been sneaky this week when he chases me to get my shark toy. He changes directions so I have to flip around and go the "wrong way" (He could get his own shark toy) but I like to see him happy and keep him exercised.

now visit mama's friends to see what they like this week.
