I Like Thursday #157 -

I am away from home this week, visiting my mom in Arizona.  Hi, Mary in Peoria, from all the way over in east Mesa!  👋👋👋



I haven't taken any pictures, but still, there are many things to like!

  • I love seeing the desert landscape, like the amazing saguaro cactus!
  • It's warm here!  (We're missing some snow at home...)  This makes my husband very happy!
  • There has been pool time, and we're wearing flip flops!
  • I'm glad to be here to help out my mom with things that she can't do anymore.
We did have some time to go to a movie today, and chose the Downton Abbey movie.  All of us enjoyed it very much!  So fun to see all those favorite actors and imagine what they might be doing a short time after the series ended.


I brought along my blue Gail Pan embroidery piece to work on when I have a chance.  I'm liking this so much!  I'll have to decide how to finish it off before too long.


Hope you're having a great week!  I'm joining in with the I Like Thursday posts over at Not Afraid of Color.  Thanks for visiting!

  1. So glad you're getting to visit with your Mom, swim, and be warm for a bit! I like that variegated blue thread. I'm going to Hobby Lobby today to buy some for my Snow Sampler. We can't wait to see the Downtown Abbey movie - we loved the series!

  2. Enjoy the warmth! Areas around us had their first frost this morning and the leaves are finally turning.

  3. Spending time with your mom is great; the beautiful (snow free) weather is a big perk. I've heard a lot about Downton Abbey, but have never watched it... I think it's about time I caught up with the rest of the world. It was on PBS, right?

  4. Great likes. I love cactus and am envious of your pool time and flip flop weather. Enjoy your visit with your mom.

  5. I had heard mixed reviews on the movie - I loved the series but read somewhere the movie wasn't great - I might still have time to catch it - have fun in the warmth of Arizona!

  6. Hi Diann! Enjoy that time with Mom and the nice warm weather. There's plenty of time for snow . . . and all that comes with it. I haven't seen the Downton Abbey show or movie, but I think I would like to. Coming late to the party isn't always a bad thing! Safe travels back home. ~smile~ Roseanne

  9. Oh my-welcome to the heat! I'm just getting around to everyone's "likes" blogs. It's finally cool here in the mornings so hope you like it. I hope to see Downton Abbey soon. I watched the series twice. I just get lost in time period show and movies.
    Enjoy your visit. mary
