Hi, welcome to My Sunday Snapshot 10! The hot chocolate was my best friend the entire weekend. Friday and Saturday was cloudy and cold. Friday evening after going to bed my feet never did warm up. My husband is a heater and even laying next to him I could not warm up. The hot chocolate was a warm welcome!
Have a wonderful week!
Take Care. Best wishes, Debra

Pictures can produce so many different emotions and feelings. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words! Share your fun and interesting image from the past week.
Hi, welcome to My Sunday Snapshot 9! Every week when I met up with Adam for our movie/dinner night, I stop into the Dollar General store. This particular store is rather new. The building looks nice and there are trees planted. The landscaping mainly consists of rocks around the trees. When you see it, no one would think twice. However, I did and each time I would go there I kept saying I ought to take a picture. I did this time! The interesting images taken are hidden in plain sight.
Take Care. Best wishes, Debra

Let’s begin the fun at Gma’sPhoto ge•ner•ic Linkup Party #26!
What to Wear will feature different palettes providing ideas when you plan the wardrobe for individual pictures or your family images during the holiday gatherings.
What to Wear | April features ideas for all family members: mom; dad; big brother; big sister and little brother and little sister. Have fun preparing your stylish look for family pictures!
It is not necessary to purchase new clothing for better images. When planning the wardrobe, do wash and dry the clothing. Immediately after drying, hang the clothes on a hanger. Or iron, if you like. The main goal is wrinkle free clothing.
Shoes do not need to be new either. New shoe laces is an inexpensive purchase to spruce up the look. Polishing leather or washing canvas shoes is another solution to brighten their appearance.
Have the socks match either the pants or shoes. This is important for anyone who may be sitting or squatting in the group. Imagine if the pants are navy blue, shoes white and you see bright green socks. Very distracting. Your eyes will go straight to the green socks and not the person’s face! However, if the socks were either white (matching shoes) or navy blue (matching pants), your eyes will flow over the person and land on the face/eyes of the person in the picture.
Hi, I am so ready for spring. During the cold months, I fall victim to the blues. Working from home has presented a new level to the blues. The thought of requesting a higher dose of meds does not sound appealing to me. After giving this some thought, I want to work on habits.
Working at home, I have created some bad habits. The biggest bad habit I have gotten into, staying in my pajamas all day, every day through the week. Weekends I do leave the house, regular clothes and makeup are a must. To start my new positive habits, I will use a journal. My Weight Watchers teacher inspired me with hers. Planning to incorporate her style with a monthly post of one line a day. And, this will knock off my #58 on my 101 in 1001 list.
March got off to a late start. Beginning with Saturday, March 9, 2024.

09. My WW instructor’s suggestion of a journal style book already has brightened my day. The journal supplies I purchased are shown in the post feature image above.

10. Amazing animals that touched my heart.
11. Monday, a typical day of working remote. After work watching Wheel of Fortune with Kevin, I keep telling him he should try out. He always figures out the puzzle.
12. This was a fun day. I took personal time from work and run an errand for my son. Which took me to Topeka, our state capitol. The grand girls were on spring break and they went with me.
13. Thankful for indoor plumbing, especially at nighttime.
14. Each day my feet touch the floor is a good day. I choose to be positive.
15. Had a fun movie night with Adam. We had Mac and Cheese with little smokies and watched the movie, Damsel on Netflix.
16. First went to my WW meeting. After, went to Best Buy. I had purchased the Zagg screen protector and paid the fee for Geek Squad to apply the protector. Both are a bit pricey when you think of it as a one time purchase. However, I had dropped my phone and the protector cracked. Well, Best Buy will exchange the broken protector with new and even apply again at no charge. This is the second time I needed to have a replacement.
17. Happy St. Patrick’s Day. The shamrock green is not a color in my wardrobe. However, I love to accessorize! This is how I wore my green!
18. My new favorite Weight Watchers friendly dessert is frozen bananas.
19. Spent a fun evening with Adam. Our weekly movie and dinner night. This week the movie pick was Unthinkable. Definitely not family friendly. Rather a dark movie. If you have seen it, would be interested in knowing what you thought of it.
20. Not too much to say, regular work day and did a virtual walk with my friend, Linda. We meet in the evenings at 7:30 pm and FaceTime while we walk on our treadmills.
21. Cut up several bunches of bananas to freeze. From bunches to freezer.
22. It’s Friday, the best part of the weekend. The beginning!
23. The local grocery store has a wonderful deli. The food is good and very reasonably priced. Kevin and I each got a chicken dinner. Kevin got the white and dark meal and I ordered the 2 piece tender meal. Our total was 15 and some change.
24. Had breakfast with Kevin, Erika, Shaune and the grand girls. The grand girls wanted to come back to the house and see the calves! Twins!
25. Linda was not able to walk this evening, so I ate some cookies instead!
26. Drank 3 cups of hot chocolate. It’s still cold in Kansas. Walked with Linda tonight. Needed to walk off the hot chocolate and cookies!
27. A rollercoaster ride with my website disaster. Oh my, I was working on my website (this one) just Monday evening. All was fine when I went to sleep for the night. The next day I went to update a post and my site was gone. Vanished. I panicked. Today all seems to be back and working. Thank goodness! If you were wondering- I did pay the bill……. This was not the issue. I had to call the tech department and they were able to fix.
28. Had movie night with Adam. We had ham and cheese quesadillas. He chose the movie, Blood & Gold. This is not a family friendly movie. I think Adam will not be selecting next week’s movie night movie!
29. Sometimes I just like drinking my water from a glass jar instead of my insulated cup. Absolute best way to drink water!
30. Kevin wanted to go shopping. This is a rare experience! Actually, our dear neighbor is not in the best health. Kevin wanted to shop for a jacket. Kevin’s shopping spree!
Erika had called and asked to meet for breakfast last weekend. We are always pleased to met with them! Once finished the grand girls wanted to come out to the farm and see the baby calves.
Twins!
Briella wanted to get out of the truck. She thought she was a cow whisperer!
Peace be with you on this special day and always!
Happy Easter.

When I discovered frozen bananas it was when I was in the grocery store in the freezer section. I was looking for frozen fruits for my morning smoothies. The frozen banana and strawberry package caught my attention. Later I realized it is cheaper to buy bunches of bananas and cut them up myself.
Before and After!
The bananas do stick together when I place them in the freezer. Once the bag of bananas have frozen, I simply break them apart while they are in the bag by tapping the bag on the counter. When I first started freezing them, I would use a cookie sheet layered with parchment paper. Well, now I add the cut bananas right into the freezer bag. Much easier and quicker.
Have a wonderful week!
Take Care. Best wishes, Debra
