Tables - Without them, where would we eat, craft, play games, etc?
Reruns (seconding someone above on this) - I really love watching old comfort shows!
Everyone who keeps this fun thread going with their replies!
Kids (my grown one & his friends, but also family/friends's little kids) - because they keep me young!

 

[WLWildlife]

T- thankfulness - having a thankful mindset and a glass half full view really changes the quality of life.

R- rest- I need more of it.

E- excitement - like Disney vacation - or vacation in general. I need more of that too.

K- kin folk- cherish the ones I have- even the hard ones.

Happy Monday!

Quickie Answers since I’m having a horrible time with this site today. I gotta post before it refreshes and I lose what I wrote.

*I wasn’t quick enough - this is my 2nd attempt

T - TikTok

R - Radio in my car

E - Eggs

K - DD22 & DH (both names start with K)

That happened to me last night! I was sure I had typed something and then when I went to read it, it disappeared! I’ve also had trouble logging out. I get an error page, but at least when I try to do something else, it tells me I must be logged in, so at least I know I really am logged out, even though it doesn’t work the way it used to. (hope all that made sense!)

T: texting
R: record albums and 45”s. I know I will have to get rid of them at some point, but I love the memories that are associated with them.
E: husband
K: daughter

OK, I really did not know this one was a thing:

but it inspires...
Today's Topic (Tues, 9/9) - 3 shareable things you're grateful for

 

[PollyannaMom]

Reece's cups - because they come two to a pack

Movie theater popcorn

Books - I love to loan them to someone I think would like them after I read them

 

[WDWEPCOT]

Share my Reese’s peanut butter cups have you lost your mind?? They would need to come in an eight pack that would be the only way I could share them two was not enough to share I can eat two no problem that’s just like not nearly enough for me I would need an eight pack if I had an eight pack I would be able to share them for for me and for for you because two is barely having any they need to make them in a bigger pack but then who could afford them because they’re so dang expensive I mean I could eat a six pack of those Reese’s pumpkins no problem in one sitting that’s like barely having an any I need to make a big thick eight pack of Reeses then I could share them just saying

On a food thing when I think of shareable things I always think about making big spaghetti dinners you always end up cooking too much or if you’re making chicken and dumplings you always wanna have people over because it always makes so much when I think about shareable things I always think about having big meals and having people over
Turkey dinners you know like Thanksgiving
You’re always loaning out tablecloths China napkins gravy boats different things cooking pots so someone can make that big meal for Thanksgiving
Or somebody moves into their first house or apartment and you’ve got extra items sit you’re loaning them tables kitchenware all kinds of things to help them out and it’s like nope you can keep that for a while you can use it
Over the years I have done all kinds of things as shareable things it’s just what do you need at the time if I have it I’m more than happy to loan it to you to help you out but the one thing I will not loan is my books I’m very stingy with my books I don’t loan them I do donate the books I don’t want but the ones I do keep I do not loan but I will learn just about anything else if you need it

Good Tuesday Morning

#1 - WDW Snacks - My DD22 and I love to try new snacks and share them. We’re able to try more items by splitting them

#2 - Crumbl Cookies - They’re so big, so when we get them, we split them into thirds so all 3 of us can have a small piece.

#3 - Pot of Coffee - My DH and I share a pot of coffee every morning.

 

[WLWildlife]

1. Love
2. Laughter
3. Faith
4. Friendship
5. Kindness

 

[TiggerTrigger]

The Big Board at Wine Bar George - It's my favorite spot in Disney Springs and that Big Board is a delicious monster of food that's totally meant for sharing (even though I could probably gorge myself on the entire thing).

A Big Bucket of Popcorn - There's nothing quite like going to the movies and sharing the big bucket of buttery popcorn with your significant other.

Reels/Memes - Most nights, DH and I go back and forth sharing the most ridiculous reels and memes that come up in our feeds and scrolling.

Evening all!

I live on my own so sharing is not usually something that's on my radar

1. Baking - i bake a lot and being able to share my bakes with my friends and work colleagues is something I really enjoy, and it sounds like they appreciate it too!

2. Wine - nothing better than sharing a bottle of wine with someone, especially when you're trying to be good and not drink too much.

3. Three course meals - I'm that person who loves to eat and always wants to order 3 courses, but usually struggle to fit it all in. So having someone who will share a starter and dessert with me is the best as it means I can try everything and not miss out

HARVESTING ARIZONA DATES AND THE BIBLE BOOK OF RUTH

as a child in 1960s Joshua tree we had a fourth grade adventure to a date processing plant in Palm Springs and that began my love of the expensive fruit.

gleaning produce from harvested fields use to be one method of SHARING time and food for food banks. But rampant agriculture disease has put an end to that method of SHARING and is punishable by law to enter any manner of an agriculture field FOR ANY REASON...including hunger!!!!

so what I do is glean from an abandon yard all the dates that have fallen from the 2 date trees after our last storm. This is not an easy process as the rich sugar heavy dates fall fast to the ground...impounding themselves on dirt , thorns from last summer and cosmetic yard gravel. 90% of the dates are dented upon impact....or after sitting a few days...scavenged by birds. So I gathered them up and take them to the kitchen sink and bathe them in hot water and began the sorting process of whole dates and putting a knife to dates that are split for further washing.

I SHARE the whole dates with a few ladies in our social circle of CARING who like to bake date bars and some ladies make date butter from the torn dates. The dates that fit neither category go into my fridge for a sugar snack.

Alas...like in the Book of Ruth....the yard belongs to a stranger and if not I gather....they spoil. The yard belongs to a Canadian by the license plate on their car in storage. They will never see or partake of their dates...and this is the first time i have climbed over their 4' brick wall as I have passed the date trees several times a week to CARE for another landscape forest that has a broken irrigation system.....so I am gleaning the dates and the book of RUTH comes to mind....the most taught CARETAKER in the Bible at Women Retreats.....and I am brought to conviction to clean their yard....clean their yard of weed debris???.....to CARE for their yard and SHARE with them what they have not......this was hard to BEAR and was praying over all weekend...then today...yes...I am to become a CARE BEAR, how can I ignore todays subject if it has been my prayer burden....check back with me in few weeks.
