What beautiful and carefree times. I've always considered those to be eras of innocence and color. We miss them so much. This truly brought a sweet smile to my face!
Love it! We bought this for years but now I found - and took home - some from Cancer Council. The purchase goes to research, pic to come soon - it smells of coconut.
The original Words for Wednesday was begun by Delores and eventually taken over by a moveable feast of participants when Delores had computer troubles. Sadly, Delores has now closed her blog forever due to other problems. The aim of the words is to encourage us to write. A story, a poem, whatever comes to mind. If you are posting an entry on your own blog, please let us know so we can come along to read it and add a few encouraging words. This month the words/prompts are supplied by River and can be found here This week's words/prompts are: 1.conviviality 2.adoration 3.willpower 4.mellow 5.gentle 6.guitar Have fun, don't use all the words if you can't,there's no pressure here. My story will appear on this blog on Friday as always, unless I can't write one... edit: Charlotte's colour of the month is Beauty Berry Purple.
Long ago, Kim of Frog Ponds Rock, (who no longer blogs), dreamed up a meme called Sunday Selections. A place where those who were willing could put up photos they wanted to share, new, old, good, bad or indifferent, any photos you please. Nothing rude or vulgar though. And we don't mind at all if other bloggers care to join us. The meme is now continued by Elephant's Child and I join in as do a few others. Andrew is one. Messymimi is another. Drop in to their blogs and have a look. Wisewebwoman has also been joining us occasionally. Brother R came to visit and brought me some old paperwork belonging to my dad, who has been dead for 25 and a half years now. They'd been stored in a container with moth balls and were quite stinky so I pegged them out on the clothes rack in the back porch three days later, most are now inside, but the heavier items such as dad's passports are still smelly so they are still out there. I now have the original copy of his natu...
Every few months since I've had her, Lola has been taken to the vet, just seven minutes walk away from home, for a "manicure" aka getting her talons clipped. In the beginning the cost was $19.90, gradually increasing until her last visit was $29.90 Today's visit? $35.00!! and what did I get for my trouble? a nice big welt where she scratched me as I tried to get her out of the carrier. Disinfected as soon as I got home of course, I've no wish to get sick from cat scratch fever!.

ReplyDeleteMary and Chris; there is a lot to miss about the days before Covid.
DeleteThis is too cute. Thanks for the smiles.
ReplyDeleteDVArtist; you're welcome.
DeleteThe video DID play. That child has got a remarkably deep, adult voice. Perhaps it is an hormonal issue or he might require surgery.
ReplyDeleteYorkshire Pudding; don't be taking the fun out of it, just enjoy and smile.
DeleteMuito legal e me fez sorrir,sim! beijos, tudo de bom,chica
ReplyDeletechica; it is very sweet and I smile too.
DeleteIt did 😊👶
ReplyDeleteWisewebwoman; 😀😀😊
DeleteYes on both accounts. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteCharlotte; I'm glad it played and you smiled.
DeleteI don't remember the ad at all. Amusing.
ReplyDeleteAndrew; probably it didn't run on ABC.
DeleteWhat a fun ad. Someone was very clever.
ReplyDeletemessymimi; I like fun ads like this, they're happy and probably encourage more people to buy the product.
DeleteI don't remember the ad, but I used that stuff on my kids!
ReplyDeleteVal; my kids were grown by then but I used it on myself.
DeleteIt sure did
ReplyDeleteRuby Rose and the Big Little Angels 3; 😀
DeleteWhat a cute face for such a deep voice :) I spoke often to my own boys about protecting their skin when they were young.
ReplyDeletehels; obviously the voice is dubbed in. I remember slathering sunscreen on my kids whenever we went to the beach.
DeleteThat is neat R, the other evening I watched a few videos on old Australian ads, most interesting.
ReplyDeleteMargaret D; the old ones are interesting, I love the banana-na-na make those bodies sing one.
DeleteThat is cute, and, yes, it did make me smile on this rainy Tuesday morning.
ReplyDeletejabblog; glad you liked it.
DeleteI don’t think this ad ever aired in Malaysia, so it was new to me.
ReplyDeleteAll the more fun to watch now--it really did bring a smile.
Veronica Lee; I think it only showed in Australia where we all need to be reminded to use sunscreen.
DeleteLove it! We bought this for years but now I found - and took home - some from Cancer Council. The purchase goes to research, pic to come soon - it smells of coconut.
