 1. On July 29th 1957 The Tonite Show premiered with Jack Parr as it's host. This marked the beginning of the modern day talk show. Do you watch any daytime or late night talk shows today? Do you have any thoughts on the hubbub surrounding the cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, or are you more in the camp of 'who is Stephen Colbert? 

Last week I had to share with the world that I have never been on a roller coaster. This week I will share with the world I have no idea who Stephen Colbert is. 

No daytime or late night talk shows for me.

 2. What's the best part of your day?

 I love going for our daily walk. My husband and I walk together, we try to do this daily. We talk about current events, family, friends, weather and dreams we plan to reach for.

 3. What's something your generation does that you actually dislike? 

I do not know... hopefully I will learn something reading others answers.

 4. When you cook do you clean as you go, or clean it all up once you're finished cooking? What's the last thing you cooked/baked in your own kitchen?

 

 I clean up all at once. 

I made fresh coleslaw, with vegetables from our garden.

 

5. Sum up your July in ten words or less. 

 

Home Improvements

Home improvements the theme for our July 2025.

 

 6. Insert your own random thought here. 

 

Our son Sam purchased his first home. 

We helped on moving day.

We helped with home improvements the weeks after moving in.

The house is located in a great neighborhood.  

I know many happy memories will be made here.

 

 

A July Prayer

 

 

This prayer is written by Farrell Mason, it has become my July prayer and I wanted to share it with you.

 

Dear God,

The River of Life is a winding mystery, shimmering with possibility. With your help, I will keep angling for grace, increasing goodness on my side of the bank, searching for silver linings in the pain, waiting faithfully for joy to tip the balance of sorrow, holding on to hope in the dark, and making sacrifices for the Good.  The story of the river is one of love. May my life be meaningful in your beautiful tale. Let me live to cast my line for another day.

Amen

 

It is a Blue Hawaii Hodgepodge

 

Footprints on the beach

Hello Everyone, it is Wednesday and that means it is time for the Hodgepodge. 

Joyce asks the questions.

We answer the questions.

 

 1. When does time pass slowly for you? When does time past quickly for you? 

 

When I do not feel good time will pass slowly for me.

When I have time to spend with our kids, the time goes too fast.

 

 2. Do you have a favorite beach? What's your favorite 'beach' activity? Tell us what we'd find in your beach bag.

 

Wisconsin Point,  Lake Superior is my favorite beach.

I love to walk the beach looking for treasures.

In my beach bag you will find..

two beach towels, a bag for keeping treasures, water bottle, snacks and my camera.

 

 3. Your favorite book or movie with a beach setting? 

 

Blue Hawaii with Elvis Presley

I watched this movie the first time with my grandparents, my grandpa would sing along, it was great fun and fantastic memories.

 

 4. What's a food you love, but find it's a pain to eat? Is it worth it? 

 

Crab legs ... oh yes it is worth it. 

 

 5.  Do you like roller coasters? What's the best (or worst) roller coaster you've been on? 

 

I do not like roller coasters, I have never been on a roller coaster.

I know, how can I say I do not like roller coasters if I have never been on one. LOL!

When two people love each other, they don't look at each other, 

they look in the same direction.
