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!

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!

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

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?

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

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!

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

Sounds like a win win holiday time, Diann. And sweet embroidery for the quieter moments!

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

So glad you got to take a trip to Arizona! I hope you had a blast!

Sounds like you had a great time while basking in the warmth. I was ready for the cooler weather, but not snow.

Hope you enjoyed your time with your mom (and missing the snow). Your embroidery is looking so nice! Can't wait to see the finish!
