I hope everyone had an awesome day yesterday filled with gratitude!


In honor of today being the golden birthday of one of my nieces...

Today's Topic (Fri, 11/28) - 3 gold-colored things you're grateful for

 

[citruscurtis]

July 21.... turned 21 in Stanley Idaho...my dad gave me a birthday dinner and wanted to be the first to buy a beer... but I was dedicated to living for Christ so refused...of course it helps that beer tasted horrible long before the birthday AND still does to this day

1. Golden sunsets

3. Jewelry handed down by my Mother and Grandmother

S Things

Sides - That seemed to be my main focus yesterday in both prep and eating ALL of the things.
Silver - Yesterday was one of the few days a year I take out the good stuff and eat like a little queen
Spoons - Of all of the utensils, I feel like they get the most use and have the greatest need.

THANKS

Together - Grateful for everyone that was in our house and together on the holiday.
H - My mom is an H name.
Avocados - After all of the rich food yesterday, I'm craving normal fare...avocados are part of that.
Nice People - Niceness goes a LONG way.
K - DD19 goes by her middle name and is a K name.
S - DD17 and I are both S names.

GOLD

Grandmother's Ring - My mom brought me one of my grandmother's rings. I believe it was made by my grandfather. It's a series of yellow gold leaves with several diamonds as dew drops.

Trimmed formal dinnerware - My china pattern is blue themed but has both silver and yellow gold as its metallic accents. It made it so much easier to pair it with a variety of more simple serving pieces and other items, including two of my grandmother's gold trimmed serving bowls and the gold trimmed water goblets I found on clearance years ago.

Gold backpack - Gold is one of my absolute favorite colors and favorite of the metallics. Ages ago, when girls had started wearing mini backpacks instead of purses, I had a bright metallic gold one vs. the basic black that was the norm among my friends. I absolutely loved that thing. While it's not the only bright metallic gold thing I've owned over the years, it sort of symbolized how I feel wearing bold statement pieces. Like it's a bright and cheery opportunity to pop and not blend in with everyone else.

My gold glitter sparkle Crocs. They are awesome! I have 2 pairs: One regular, every day pair, and one that is fuzzy-lined for winter.

My grandmother's wedding ring, my mother's wedding ring, and my original wedding ring. DD wears all 3 of them on her right hand- and all the rest of her jewelry is silver. She loves having all 3 rings, and love that she loves to wear our family-memories.

The gold trim that I am currently attaching to soldier costumes for next weekend's productions of The Nutcracker!

My wedding ring. I will never trade up. I can't imagine ever getting rid of what he chose to represent his love and commitment to me.

Flowers- a beautiful sign of life.

Sunshine- it just lifts my mood and makes the day better.

Sunrise and sunsets- thankful for every day I'm given.

Stars- they light up the night.

Golden hmm
The sun and beautiful sunsets

Not a huge fan of gold jewelry so can’t say that and I don’t have anything that’s been handed down to me so I can’t say that

I don’t own gold so I can’t say that

I’m really at a loss here

I don’t decorate much with golden items again not my taste the only item I have is golden charge plates I use at Christmas I am grateful for them although they weigh a ton for some reason very big and thick

 

[clappyclaps]

Congratulations!!

And pictures, please!!

So their original names were Stinky (ginger) and Benz (tabby), and no I dont understand those names either! So their new names are Jonesy (ginger) and Church (tabby), brownie points to anyone who gets the references

Jonesy was all over me from the minute he walked in, whereas Church is a bit more reserved (unless you've got food), hence the completely different photos:



And as far as gold goes, I'm with @WDWEPCOT - not a fan of gold jewellery (unless you count white gold) and not sure I have anything gold at all in my entire house!

Memories of Champ.who as a puppy loved Golden Grahams. As he got older, he also enjoyed graham crackers

Golden sunshine to provide warmth both inside and out

Ponyboy Curtis.... never read the novel by Hinton.... saw the movie...if I had the opportunity to read the novel in high school...may very well have altered my choices.... I was a writer in high school but not intelligent and as you all know like sunsets
Johnny's final words to ponyboy Curtis apply to all of us who write here.... for it is possible that your thoughts here can make it to the third page of an internet search
.... So..."stay gold"
