On this day theme...

1. On this day in 1908, Billy Murray hits the charts with his “Take Me Out to The Ball Game”. Did you watch the MLB playoffs, and are you watching the World Series?
No, I didn't watch the playoffs and no, I'm not watching the World Series. I might if the Cincinnati Reds were in it, but otherwise, no.

2. On this day in 1962, “The Manchurian Candidate”, directed by John Frankenheimer, starring Frank Sinatra and Laurence Harvey, was released. What is your favorite Frank Sinatra song?
"I Get a Kick Out of You" is a good one.

3. On this day in 1968, Mick Jagger and Marianne Faithful were busted for pot and released on £50 bail. Has your state approved the sale of medical marijuana? In a nutshell, what are your thoughts on the subject?
It has been approved in my state, however, the process and rules are all still being set up. My thoughts are rather mixed and I'll leave it at that.

4. On this day in 1979, the Guinness Book of Records presented Paul McCartney with a rhodium disc as the all-time best-selling singer-songwriter. What is your favorite song by Paul McCartney?
I've never been a Paul McCartney or Beetles fan, but I do like the song "Live and Let Die" from the James Bond movie of the same name.

5. On this day in 2017, Albert Einstein’s “Theory of Happiness” written on a note as a tip for a bellboy in 1922, sold for $1.6 million. His Theory of Happiness is: “A calm and modest life brings more happiness than the pursuit of success combined with constant restlessness.” Was Einstein right?
I agree. And the older I get, the more content I am with what I have.

6. Tell us something random about your week so far…
Nothing too random has occurred yet, but I'm doing a 5K this weekend and that's rather random for me. lol

Definitely having some font problems today. lol  I Think I may have it fixed now.  Let's see!

Thankful Thursday and Friday Foto Friends

I know I haven't been around much lately.  Things have been crazy at work.  We've had 4 people leave in the last couple of months and while they are doing everything they can to hire replacements, it's taking time.  So, in the meantime, I'm being drawn back in to help do the job I haven't done in almost 20 years.  Fun times.  But I'm starting to catch on and I guess it's good for me to stretch my mind and not be so set in my ways.  Anyway, hopefully I'll be back in the blogging world a little more. 

So yesterday, was Thankful Thursday and I don't want to keep missing this.  I think it's so important to be intentionally thankful and I'm so thankful that Rebecca Jo keeps this link-up going for us.  Click on her name if you'd like to link up too.

This morning on the way to work I looked up when pulling out of the drive and saw the sky and it was absolutely so beautiful.  I stopped at the end of the drive and took these two pictures.

And it seemed the longer I drove the more beautiful it got.  Let me tell you God and I had a wonderful worship service together.  I love when God shows so much beauty in his creation and I couldn't help but praise Him.  God you are so awesome!!

There are so many other things I'm thankful for, but I need to get back to work, lunch break is almost over.  I just wanted so much to get back into the habit of doing this post.  And yes, I know I'm a day late, however, I don't think it's ever too late to praise the Lord.  I'm also linking up with Friday Foto Friends and I hope to be back more often there too.  Thank you Debbie for hosting and you can click on her name to link up there.

Thanks for visiting and I hope you all have a great weekend.

Terri is giving us something to replace the Wednesday Hodgepodge.  Thank you Terri.

1. What would be the most amazing adventure to go on?

I would love to take a train ride across the country.  I think that would be so fun to see the country but not have to be the driver.  I'd also want to stop whenever I wanted (of course, I know that wouldn't be possible on a train, but in my imagination it would be.).

2. Name five songs that you have completely memorized?

Well right now, because of my grandson, I know all the words and motions to Baby Shark.  lol  Then there's, Amazing Grace, Jesus Loves Me.  Because of my girls when they were little, the Barney theme song.  And number 5 would be a song called I Claim the Blood.

3. What takes up too much of your time?

Social Media

4. What TV show or movie do you refuse to watch?

Anything to do with demons

5. What’s worth spending more on to get the best?

House repairs - like our new roof.

6. Tell us something random you want us to know about your week..

Our ladies Bible Study group started a new study last night  from Lisa Harper, called "Job, An Unlikely Story of Joy."  It was so good seeing everyone and I can't wait to find out how you get joy from the book of Job.  lol

Thanks for visiting and I hope you have a great day.

Friday Foto Friends

It's Friday which means it's time to link-up with Deb to show your pictures for the week.  You can click here for the link up.

Again, I haven't taken very many pictures this week, but here are a couple of the pretty skies in my neighborhood when I took the dog out early this morning.  I just love it when God paints the skies with pink.

The picture below is of a flag a neighbor has out.  I think it's so cute and it reminds me that fall is just around the corner.

Thanks for visiting and I hope you have a great weekend.
