RSC June Pastels and I Like Thurs Prompt

Let's start this post with an I Like Thursday prompt, shall we? LeeAnn asked ...

    "What would be your favorite insect and why? think about the good or pretty insects out there not just annoying ones... did you ever capture lightning bugs in a jar as a kid?"

Not being able to narrow it down to only one favorite, my answer would be dragonflies, butterflies, and bees with dragonflies narrowly being my favorite. I love the way they glide around and how shiny their wings look when the sun shines down on them. I wonder how the others are responding. I encourage you to check out their responses. It's always interesting to read their prompt replies and also to see what books, movies, garden flowers, and foods they're enjoying. Look right HERE.

Let me nail down the Rainbow Scrap Challenge next. Angela chose PASTELS for our June "color". She explained that using them would put a little sparkle in our scrappy quilts. Okay! I'm game. Yesterday being Friday and Mom's Hairdo Day, I took a pile of scraps that I thought would work. Here are three Grandma's Jewels that I managed to get prepped while there.

I think these will work, although the pink/orange "background fabric might not be a good choice. We'll just have to think about that. What do you think? Will it work?

So back to an I Like Thurs post. I am so bad at being a consistent responder but I like playing the game so I'll participate when I can. I've been enjoying the Ruth Galloway series of books by Elly Griffiths. Right now I'm finishing up The House at Sea's End which is the third in the series. Ruth Galloway is a forensic anthropologist so there's some sort of mystery to be solved. Right up my alley!

GoodReads synopsis

Thursday was a busy day around here. Being as it was the 1st Thursday of the month meant that we were off to the Troy Senior Center Luncheon. It was fantastic! We were served bratwurst, sauerkraut, mashed potatoes, green beans with bacon, and a cookie with bite-sized chocolates. Too bad our table was called last and my sauerkraut serving was a tad skimpy for me -- even though Fred didn't even ask for some! Lol!

Afterward eating, the Waterloo German Band entertained us and entertain they did! We learned a little history on the Swiss/Austrian cow bells as well as the huge Alpine horn. The woman on the accordion played so well and the chosen songs had us all singing along with the band. So much fun and man! did it tire Mom out! Hahaha!

What a great week we had! And I didn't even mention how much fun we've had watching Roland Garros this week either! The smiles around here never end, do they? Here's to another great week ahead and I'm wishing the same for all of you too.
