Five Things Thursday

Or, how about five pictures instead?

On Tuesday, my friends and I went to Cheekwood (our botanical gardens) for a tea. The tea itself was average--with flavored tea bags--you know what a purist I am. I want a teapot all to myself. Plus it's fancier that way--and a proper tea is fancy!!

Anyway, there were 6 of us and we had a great time--per usual when we're together. Diane is back from Nottingham, so it was good to see her.

Afterwards, we strolled through the garden--a little--and took some pictures. From the front: Karolyn (who organized the event), Pam and Diane. It was a beautiful day with mild weather.

Okay, from left and clockwise: Karolyn, Diane, Pam, Nancy A, me and Nancy E.

This picture looks frame worthy!

How about a few more fall pictures? I have so many---at least a month's worth! These are all home decor. I love it, but don't decorate much anymore. Kinda' sad, but it's so much work! I've grown lazy in my older years.

Words of Wisdom Wednesday

Okay, it's been a week since I mentioned Taylor Swift. This week, it's her "words of wisdom!"

Speaking of Taylor Swift, a few more facts:

 

Taylor changed the world of football thanks to her “Love Story,” with Travis

Taylor attended 13 games last year

She brought in $331.5 million for the NFL last year

Kelce jerseys spiked 400% after Swift attended her first game

Kelce and Swift’s relationship is serious; she isn’t going anywhere any time soon!

It’s simple, “You Need To Calm Down”

Tuesday Thoughts About...

...These pumpkins:

They creep me out! There's something wrong with them. They are called "knucklehead pumpkins!" They have boxes of them at the grocery store. They also refer to them as warts caused by a fungus. It just seems gross to me.

Scrapbook Saturday

About a week and a half ago, I met up with an old scrapbook friend. We had dinner together and talked about scrapbooking for nearly 2 hours. I don't really have anyone I can talk non-stop about scrapbooking so that part was fun. We got a picture together.

Obviously, she's much younger than me. Outside of scrapbooking, we don't have much in common. Still, I could get together with her once in a while to discuss our hobby. We'll see...

I came across this and thought it was cute:

If you didn't see the movie 50 Shades of Grey, you might not get it! He is referring to a room full of sexual toys. And then the picture below is the pleasure room of scrapbookers. Now you "get it!"

Speaking of movies, I got this from Regal Unlimited:

That's a lot of movies and a whole lot of money saved!
