Quiz for today. Items from our parents’ past. What do you think these items are for? How many can you identify? #reminiscingthepast #whataretheseoldthings #canyouidentifytheseoldthings #identifytheseoldthings #fungoingthrougholdstuff #memorykeepers #oldkitchengadgets #goingthrougholdstuff #treasuresintheattic #funmemoriesintheattic #parentsoldstuff #vintagekitchenware #humorwriter #humorblogger #lifestoriesandbeyond #lifestoriesandbeyondbook #organizingtheattic

So I had a little cardiac ablation this morning and am doing well after wrestling the sheets, taking long nap while having my heart go absolutely wild on purpose and have areas get frozen, waking up to a throat clearing festival and lying flat for four hours under threat of starting the four hours over if I moved, and eating a fabulous lunch. Haven’t talked to the doc yet but all seems pretty sweet because I came back! Yay. Thanks for the prayers. Also check out the last picture and you’ll see we have a family pose at windows. A curious bunch. Don’t know who taught who. #afibawareness #aflutterablation #svtablation #thankfulforanethesiologists #goodtobealive #cardiacablation #thankyounursesanddoctors #thankfulfordoctors #irregularheartbeat #lifestoriesandbeyondbook #justbecauseiusedtocouldbook

Nothing like restorative yoga with my mom on this stormy day. She’s looking cozy warm and I’m looking hot. Like a hot flash kinda hot. #hotflashheatwave #restorativeyoga #funwithmom #ageisjustanumber #hangingwithmom #ninetytwo #rainydayrelaxation #makethatbloodflow #getthosefeetup @loisbatten7

What is this large bushy weed that grows along the roads in fields all over North Carolina in the fall? #identifythisweed #whatisthisplantcalled #allergyseasonplant #northcarolinaweeds #namethisplant

What cat in yonder window sneaks? Even the scaredy-cat ventured out into this glorious day. #catsneaksoutside #beautifulday #getoutside #lookforjoyeveryday #outsideismyhappyplace #catsaresoweird #behappyinourdailylives #itsthelittlethings #catlovers #doglovers #insidecatsoutside

For the sake of the trees, please stop all the voter ads!!! This is only a couple of days worth. Please make it stop!!! Please Lord, turn us back into humans, not party members. End the division.

Everybody boogie now. Only appreciative dancers were these birds. Ah. The sounds of the beach. Ok, I did rock out a little with some head nodding #beachsounds #noteverybodylovesloudmusic #turnthatmusicdownnow #lovethesoundofwaves #humoratthebeach #pullingmyboombox #boomboxinawagon #

Take a risk today and talk to somebody. Speak to a stranger. You might make their day. You can hear just fine through the mask most of the time. Don’t close yourself off just because you’re talking at a distance. Somebody out there might need your kind words and smiling eyes.#kindnessmatters #smilewithyoureyes👀 #reachouttoothers #talktostrangersmoreoften #peopleneedpeople #loveoneanother♥️ #wearepeoplenotpolitics #peopleareallpeople #weareallgodschildren #smileevenwithamaskon #dogsarebetterthanpeople #dogsarethebest #blackmouthcur #stepoutofyourcomfortzone🌻#ebww #lifestoriesandbeyondbook #justbecauseiusedtocouldbook

When creative people think they’re funny and store things in the fridge for me to find, it’s always interesting. #humorblogger #funnyfamilymoments #creativekidsfood #whatdoyoucallit #orangelovers🍊 #applelovers❤️ #playingwithfoodisfun #foodcanbeart #whattheheckisthis
