What is your viewing pleasure?

Do you watch TV?  What shows appeal to you?  For the most part Jim and I like the same kind of shows.  Dramas, action adventures etc.  Of course we have our differences too, as in cooking shows and car shows. We both like HGTV and DIY shows.

Recently we've found we don't watch a lot of television.  For that reason we're dropping Direct TV and the extensive programming we have.  Switching to Dish and the basic package they offer.  Just seems better for us and we'll see how it works!

We have been getting DVD's from the library and we're having fun with series of shows, starting at the beginning and enjoying what we may have missed the first time around.  Sometimes when the shows aired you can miss an episode.


Jim and I both like Sherlock Holmes.  I thought Basil Rathbone was the best Sherlock.  All the episodes in black and white..Then there’s Jeremy Brett who was Sherlock in the 80’s. We'll have to see if it's available on DVD. Have you seen Sherlock with Benedict Cumberbatch?  We picked up season one at the library. What fun!  Not sure if we’ve seen all of them.  But we’re going to now.

We just finished watching the last season of Endeavour because a new season starts on PBS soon.  Endeavour is the precursor to Inspector Morse staring John Thaw.  This series is excellent!  Wouldn't mind seeing them again.  Did  I ever mention that we love British dramas and mysteries? The writing is better, filming is intriguing with angles and light.  Probably why American shows don’t appeal to us. The Brits just do it better!

Critters...we have them, from this itty bitty preying mantis on my plumeria

to this ten inch snake that was resting under the patio mat.  Wonder if he'll be there next time I pull the mat back?

Katydids!  Just a couple hang around the rig...but they have serenaded us for weeks now

Handmade cards because:

No one displays an email on the mantle

or shows off a tweet on the fridge

or saves a Facebook post in a box of treasures

For the year of 2019 I've challenged myself to 500 cards think I can do it?

12 June 2019 144 cards

This first card is from the June Paper Pumpkin from Stampin' Up!  Note card size and they having matching envelopes

One Sheet Wonder cards are fun to make.  You cut up 12 x 12 patterned paper and make many cards depending on how the paper is cut.  This is only three of them and I'm adding sentiments to all of them. The two on the left will be thank you cards, the one on the right will be used for the cards I mail out.  Perhaps to you!

Thank you for visiting!

All is right in our world
