Lemon Trio

 

A puzzle for the

fun-lovers.

I love jigsaw puzzles.

I've loved puzzles since I was a young child.

The part I don't like is having the puzzle sit out

for long periods of time in the house.

The table it is on is "occupied",

the pieces get knocked off on the floor

and the lighting is not always great.

Those are the reasons I love these online puzzles.

No mess and quick solutions.

Give them a try.

You don't have to give your solution time.

How long it takes isn't important.

What is important is that you try.

 

Come on and play with me.

My advice is to study the picture and

puzzle shape before you start.

These puzzles are fun,

and our brains can

use the workout.

My time was 7:22 seconds.

American Idol - My Review

 

American Idol Season Twelve

 

 

 

 

Here are the four finalists.

 

 

 

Kree and Candice are my favorites,

 

and I don't see that changing.

 

Let's face it, each of these women can sing,

 

and each one of them has star qualities.

 

 

 

I just find a depth to the voices of Kree and Candice,

 

that is not there for me with Amber and Angie.

 

It truly comes down to a matter of preference.

 

 

I wasn't loving any performance this week,

 

and I agree they aren't choosing the right songs.

 

I am still waiting for that jaw dropping,

 

leaves me speechless performance.

 

 

I found the judges appalling this week.

 

Really?

 

It so seemed to me that they had a specific agenda.

 

I was more in agreement with Jimmy's comments.

 

I can barely take Mariah's oozing sweetness.

 

(And, would someone tell Mariah and Nicki

 

to stop stroking their hair.)

 

If Randy says they are in it to win it one more time,

 

my husband may blow a fuse.

 

I can't complain about Keith because I can't resist his grin.

 

Now, hold onto your seats

 

because for me Nicki is doing the best critiques.

 

That girl knows her stuff.

 

 

You wanted to know how I really feel, didn't you?

 

 

Here is my order of preference for the remaining four.

 

 

1. Kree 

 

2. Candice

 

3. Angie

 

 

4. Amber

 

 

 

There you go.

 

I don't know if you asked for it,

 

but you definitely got it.

What's My Question Wednesday and Dancing With The Stars

 

My question for the day is

 

 

did you watch

 

 

Dancing With The Stars

 

 

 

 

and

 

 

what was your

 

 

favorite performance

 

 

No change.

 

 

Kellie and Derek are definitely my favs.

 

Loved their quick step.

 

But,  loving Zendaya and Val

 

is a must.

 

 

 

My favorite group dance was

the Sambas.

 

 

 

And, I agree it was time for Victor to go.

Every Spring They Come

 

 

Yes, we find them every Spring.

 

Here they are on the deck stairs.

 

 

 

And, next to the wall by our driveway.

 

 

 

On the terrace in our back yard.

 

 

 

But, what keeps them coming?

 

 

 

That would be Pink Geranium Love.

 

Yes, that is why they return every year.

 

Now you see why Spring is my favorite season.

 

 

Have they arrived at your home, too?

Pink Saturday - April 20, 2013

 

 

 

I love pink geraniums!

 

These are on our driveway.

 

Don't they look pretty with the

 

fallen pear tree petals?
