friday favorites: tv shows...

today seemed like a good day to start a new series called friday favorites, where i share various favorite things... this edition features tv shows.

i've really been missing my favorite tv shows since covid started interrupting everything.  a lot of last season's shows never finished out their series and now it is november and new episodes are just starting to show.

i'm going to break this up into groupings by age...

so here we go...

when i was a little kid, say before the age of 10, my favorite shows were

 

the addams family

 

the munsters

 

little house on the prairie

the waltons

i know...that's quite a combination, huh?

i also loved star trek, scooby doo and tom & jerry cartoons.

from age 10 to 20...


the dukes of hazard (i had such a crush on John Schneider) - what can i say, i'm a southern girl...

 

the young riders (Josh Brolin...sigh...)

 

i also really enjoyed mork & mindy and three's company...

i think i'll stop there today... i'll save adulthood for later...

 

did you have any favorite tv shows as a kid?

love, kisses & magical wishes...

ad nauseum infinitum...


 

1 - i'm spending way too much time in front of the screen lately...between the computer and the tv news stations my eyes are crossing...


2 - this exclusion of all else in the world but US election results by the news stations is ridiculous and just another example of what is wrong with this country.  yes, it is very important.  but you sitting there, on air saying the same things over and over, ad nauseum infinitum will not get those votes counted any faster.  jeez...


3 - i'm still longing for that big old country house in the mountains with loads of acreage that i can grow my own veggies, raise chickens and wander around outside without seeing or hearing another human soul...it is my dream and a variation of it has been my dream all my life. (when i was little i wanted to be *olivia walton, without the baptist part)  *points to you if you know who that is...


my focus is so scattered and my mind racing so much...we'll just call this three things thursday and move on...

what three things are on your mind today?

love, kisses & magical wishes...

yesterday...




yesterday was a day, wasn't it? 

i ran errands and my neighbor and i went to do our civic duty. 

the stress of that and the potential outcome had me all messed up, so i decided to unplug for the rest of the day and night.  i turned off my cell, computer and tv.  a super migraine (what i call the ones that knock me out) was forming, so i took my pill and laid down for a while.  

when i woke, it was a little better so i made dinner and sat down to work on my sketching.  i couldn't focus, too much pain.  i ended up watching "practical magic" on dvr and doing some slow stitching. then took a magazine to bed to relax.

i was really hoping for results when i woke today.  it would be nice to at least know when the results will be made known. 

well...we've done what we can, now we figure out how to go on, one way or another...

today is for taking down halloween decor.  i hope to get at least half of it put away, but the migraine is sneaking up so i'm just going to take my time...

here's to hoping for quick results and a good day...

love, kisses & magical wishes...

ten things on tuesday...


 - cold, cozy mornings warm my spirit...

 - gratitude notes are perfect for this week and i'm very grateful for them...

 - homemade sliders...

 - candles lighting my ancestor altar...

 - 3 hours of sketching last night and it turned out pretty good...

 - i finally understand bullet journaling, and i really love it...

 - making an effort to make sure my kitchen is clean before i go to bed every night, it makes mornings nicer...

 - clementines from the grocer...

 - fallen leaves crunching under my feet whenever i step outside...

 - starting to find football interesting again...good thing they're 7-0...


just a few random thoughts for today...

in the garden...



the garden is winding down.  i've brought in what i could.  the lettuce has been growing very slowly and i'm hoping it continues to grow.  this is only the second time i've grown lettuce and this batch is from the seeds from the spring growth.  

it is wonderfully cold here this morning.  i love winter.  sweaters, blankets, fires...just all things cozy make me happy.

the wind whipped through here last night bringing this cold front.  it was wild, lying in bed listening to it whistle through the trees...

aren't camellia blossoms just beautiful? 

i keep thinking i'll take that bush out (it's in a bad place that blocks a lot of my space) but then it blooms and i just don't know if i can part with it...

well...i'm off to piddle around the house.  time to start taking down the halloween decor, i suppose...

how is your garden growing?

love, kisses & magical wishes...
