Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. Each Tuesday That Artsy Reader Girl assigns a topic and then post her top ten list that fits that topic. You’re more than welcome to join her and create your own top ten (or 2, 5, 20, etc.) list as well. Feel free to put a unique spin on the topic to make it work for you! Please link back to That Artsy Reader Girl in your own post so that others know where to find more information.
Ooh nice topic! Great moments here too!
ReplyDeleteHere's my Tuesday Post
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower :)
These are some great moments and memories. I write a daily gratitude journal that I began during the dark days of the early pandemic. I love the saying in the second to last picture - so inspiring!
ReplyDeleteMy theme this week is Natural World
What a lovely post and so many good things to be grateful for :) That sounds like a very great habit to keep. Sometimes I feel I'm too pessimistic, so maybe doing something like this would help in turning my eye to the bright side of things more often!
ReplyDeleteThrilled to make your list! I hope your year continues to be full of good things. I’m hoping to return to blog writing and commenting soon.
ReplyDeletebest… mae at maefood.blogspot.com
It sounds like you’ve been having a great time. I really enjoy bird watching.
ReplyDeleteSuch an awesome topic, Deb. It's great to highlight and think about the good things in our lives. The news does a fine job of pointing out the troublesome things. It looks like you've had lots of wonderful things happen this year.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you've had quite the year already! Cool on your yard being a wildlife habitat. :)
ReplyDeletewow, thanks for sharing all these wonderful moments!
ReplyDeleteAll good things. This put a smile on my face.
ReplyDeleteYour good things are always my favorite parts of your posts so I love this -- A LOT!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a lovely post! It's an amazing habit and extra fun to be able to look back at like you did for this post! I may need to start doing this too :)
ReplyDeleteI love this list! Today I’m planning a party for my mom’s 99th! ~Carol @ ReadingLadies
ReplyDeleteWow!! Fun topic!! Your husband cutting gemstones is so cool!! I too would love to meet up with a book blogger!!
ReplyDeleteLovely memories...
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful collection of memories! I love that you got to meet a fellow blogger.
ReplyDeleteFollowing your blog I have seen several of these before, but I had NO idea your yard got certified as a wildlife habitat, that is SO cool. I still love your first quilt as well...but then again, they are all good :)
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely!
ReplyDeleteSo much to happy about.. Happy 98th birthday to your dad. Snow in Galveston.. that must have been quite the sight. How cool that your garden got certified!
ReplyDeleteOmigosh, so many good things! What a wonderful life, it makes me so happy to see all of these things for you and it's certainly hashtag lifegoals for me!
ReplyDeleteI love your list! If you ever want to join the Ten Things of Thankful, please feel free.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI love all those good things!! What a great list!
ReplyDeleteOh I love this. I need to do something similar. Pay more attention to the positive. There is so much negative in the news all the time. I would have loved to be in attendance at your poetry nights.
ReplyDeleteSo many things to be happy about. We are lucky to be able to appreciate the good things in life. Your dad looks much younger than 98. My dad turned 100 in March and is still going strong.
ReplyDeleteLove this! It's good to look back and appreciate the good things in life!
ReplyDeleteAww, I love this topic! The frog is adorable.

I love this! There are so many good things in life and making note of them is a wonderful way to notice and appreciate them. Thanks for the reminder :)
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT (on a Wednesday)!
It was hard during the pandemic to find things to be happy about, what a great idea. I love that pic of your dad. I've had that sundae at Buca on my bday and it got a laugh out of me as well.
ReplyDeleteWhat a glorious year you've had so far! And these are only the moments you've shared here, I can only imagine how many other moments that have brightened your days and and the days of those you love! Thank you for sharing such a positive and inspiring list :-)
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful moments Deb. Thank you for sharing with us!
