Another vote for Play-Doh! My mom used to make her own, and I can still smell that "moment it's done" smell.

Also thankful my brother and I had lots of Legos - I firmly believe playing with those is one reason I was good at math in school.

And I'll add the Harry Potter books - supposedly for kids, but I was introduced to them as an adult and still love them!


And yes, I did have an Easy-Bake Oven.

Laying on a NON Snow covered beach
Getting a massage
Taking a nap or as it’s better know sitting down to watch TV at night

Quiet - reading and doing jigsaw puzzles
Loud - playing games with family
Amazing - the sheer variety of things to watch nowadays (TV, Streaming, YouTube, etc.)

Life has gotten in the way again—going to jump back in without trying to catch up.

Leisure Things:

1. A good book.
2. Settling in to watch a favorite show after the days work is done.
3. Games on my phone.

We've done colors before, but it certainly seems worth recycling a category for this...

Today's Topic (Mon, 11/6) - 3 orange things you're grateful for

 

[WDWEPCOT]

Not an orange fan - I don’t hate them I’m just not allowed them because of my IC
That color doesn’t look very well on me either but it is a pretty color

I’ll go with pumpkins
I do have orange towels and I do like them
They’re a deep fall orange
I like it when the trees have a orangey red color it’s so beautiful

 

[PollyannaMom]

Orange crayons
Orange Halloween decorations
Orange Gatorade

It’s the start of a new week

#1 - I’m grateful for all my orange decorations this time of year - pumpkins, Mums, garland with orange leaves and more. Everywhere you look around my house right now you see orange somewhere.

#2 - I’m grateful for orange Vitamin Water - it’s my go to drink in the morning after I’ve hit my coffee quota. I only drink the Zero Vitamin Water because I don’t want the extra sugar.

#3 - I’m grateful for orange jello with mandarin oranges in it - I love it, and it takes me straight back to my childhood when my mom used to make it.

Orange Things:
1. Pumpkins—I don’t much like the color orange and sometimes I tell my kids that I refuse to wear something orange (our school colors are black and orange) because orange only looks good on pumpkins and
2. Fall leaves—love the mix of reds, yellows, oranges and browns.
3. Orange bell peppers—I like all bell peppers, but the orange ones might be my favorite.

I actually do think some people look good in orange, but not the pale people in my household who are mostly light haired and blue eyed.

Memories of a preschooler named Peter who loved the color orange. Similarly, orange was the favorite color of my late elderly friend Dean from church.

Orange in sunrises, sunsets, flowers, and trees.

Dad enjoys fresh squeezed orange juice.
