Red - apples
Orange - a new shirt I like
Yellow - sunshine

FIRST... Happy birthday @PollyannaMom !! Sorry I missed it yesterday, but I hope you ate and drank some really good things in celebration!!

I could say the fall leaves and get my red, orange, and yellow all lumped into one! The trees up here are spectacular in the sunshine! I hope to get a little time this weekend to drive north to see more!

Red- My red leather pumps. I can't wear them anymore, but sure do love those shoes!
Orange- American cheese, a guilty treat. When I want a grilled cheese sandwich, I want it made with orange american cheese (even though I know it's garbage)!
Yellow- The Resident 8 Year Old's new sneakers. They are an obnoxious shade of neon yellow and nothing I'd even consider buying, but he loves them! Such a big smile, so excited, he adores his new shoes- and as I adore HIM, I am a fan of his new yellow sneakers!

RED - Main color for my favorite MLB team!

RED - I apologize if you have already posted in the past who your fav is. Hope it is the RED Sox!

ORANGE - the orange Starburst flavor

YELLOW - the yellow light on a traffic signal. Tells me to mash the gas pedal to get thru the intersection.

Haha, I don't know if I'd posted it before or not, but it's actually the redbirds (St Louis Cardinals). We're looking at coming to Boston next April to watch the Cards/Red Sox series!

Also, love your take on Yellow lol!

Red: sunsets

Orange: my morning orange

Yellow: all yellow flowers, especially sunflowers and those ones that look like small sunflowers. I forget what they’re called.

In honor of...


Today's Topic (Sat, 10/12) - 3 games, game shows, or other contests you are/were grateful for

 

[slo]

Good Saturday Morning!

#1 - Softball - I know, I know….shocker right?! Even though my daughter has had her share of injuries from the Sport, her newest being an upcoming shoulder surgery, I/we are forever grateful for the friends and memories we’ve made because of this sport.

#2 - Blackhawks Hockey Games - We haven’t been to a game in a while, but when we were going regularly, we had so much fun. My DH and DD21 went together the most, and it was a great bonding time for them.

#3 - Disney’s Scene It - DD21 and I just played this again about six months ago. She was excited to give me some competition now, since she is older and knows more Disney stuff. She tried really hard to beat me, but she did not prevail - LOL!

Good Morning friends

Baseball because it brings dad extra joy. He was thankful the Dodgers won last night. God willing next year we will enjoy taking a Dodger Stadium tour together.

Rack-O is a favorite card game dad and I enjoy playing along with Uno.

The Price is Right has brought a lot of light fun and extra time together for dad and I.

Triple Crown Races & Breeders Cup also all the Win & You In races to get automatic spot in Breeders Cup - huge horse racing fan here !!! Been one since I was a little kid

Tour de France - love watching this race every July - grueling hard work for those men to cycle all over France

Olympics - never miss them - enjoy cheering on the USA but also someone from another Country giving it their very best shot trying so hard with so little resources just to be there !!!

Bonus - Price is Right / Jeopardy / wheel of Fortune / Let’s make a deal / any game of trivia - love playing trivia games !!!

 

[newski_mom]

1. Card games - especially nerts and rummy
2. Rummicub - love this game!
3. Catch phrase - I haven't played it in awhile, but so fun with a group!

I don't watch game shows much at all nowadays, but as a kid I enjoyed these:
$25,000/$50,000/$100,000 Pyramid
Hollywood Squares
Match Game

Wheel of Fortune: I started watching this with my in-laws when we used to visit them in FL. I got hooked and continued to watch it at home, especially when my DD was a baby. She learned all of her letters before she was 2 because of that show! Now, I will watch it occasionally just so I can hear my mother-in-law’s voice in my head making comments, Iike “why didn’t they buy a vowel?”

I am very grateful for all of my phone games, WWF, Connectons, etc. They keep my brain engaged and some of my friends and family share our thoughts about them on FB.

Baseball/Hockey: my 2 favorite sports. Seeing the Mets and the Yankees move on to the LCS has been so much fun. Of course, my DH and I will have some interesting dynamics going if they both make it to the WS. In 2000 we thought a Subway Series would be so fun, but his team did not do too well and the fun faded quickly. I wonder if we’ve matured in the last 24 years?


Honorable mention to the Olympics and the Paralympics: I am just glued to my TV for the entire run of the games.

Black-eyed Susans?

I looked them up! They are coneflowers

 

[PollyannaMom]

Games:

Trivial Pursuit - my favorite board game as a teen and now, I've heard, a game show (I haven't seen it yet, but am looking forward to it)

Memory games - one of the first card games kids play, and a way I used to help DS study (we would put vocab words on one card and definitions on the other and play to match them)

Jeopardy - DH and I often watch this one together

 

[PollyannaMom]
