another NEW JusJoJan24 entry

Happy Friday!

Since it’s about 2am and I have to be up at 6am, this will be a rather quick post!

Today’s JusJoJan24 prompt is “penultimate” so here’s my jot:

I have 7 living siblings and I’m penultimate.

Have a great day! I hope you do or learn something NEW today AND I hope to get some sleep and put more thought into future posts haha!

trying to find about 110 NEW plastic ducks around our house

Happy Friday!

My opinion of TicTok: Spend hours and hours watching hundreds of really stupid videos then you’ll be rewarded with one clever or funny video! Then repeat. HaHa! But the hide-the-duck TicTok idea has been kind of a fun activity!

While we were in Scandinavia, my daughter-in-law gathered some other family members together and basically recreated this TicTok video at our house (Link to video here).

We got home and after being gone 2+ weeks we immediately started some laundry. My husband found a small plastic duck in the Downey UnStoppables jar. He thought that was a bit weird but thought the company added it for some reason. Then…we found another duck in the cookie jar…just sitting there alone at the bottom. Then we knew something was up! We texted our family and asked what was going on. They played dumb!…”What?”, they said!

We’ve found about 85 of the 110 ducks so far. One son says we probably won’t find all of them until we move out of this house! Goodness! I keep trying to have one son play “Hot & Cold” with me for a few of the remaining ones, but he refuses. Too funny!

Have a fun Friday. I hope you do or learn something NEW!

NEW photos of my week and a short Sunday sermon

Happy Sunday!  You might recall a post back in June, went I mentioned we went for a hike hoping to find these wildflowers, but found snow instead.  Well, this is hike-take-two.  The meadows were filled with wildflowers and we even hiked further up to this lake:

For today’s short sermon, I’ll simply link to this really well-done video (HERE)  about how important family is and how one man found his grandfather’s army weapon after his funeral…and how important researching his grandfather’s life was to him.

Have a terrific day!  Do or learn something NEW!

family communication and a NEW funny video

comm{source}

How is the communication in your family? Typically, at our house, ours is pretty average…meaning we could do better but we could also do a lot worse 🙂 BUT…on two difference occasions this week I was quite irritated with a couple of my family members! I had to ‘read through the lines’ to know what was going on…and even then, I was just guessing because these two individuals did NOT effectively communicate. I won’t bore you with the details, but one good thing about having ”issues” now and again is the side-effect of trying to do a better job at communicating….so we definitely had our little reminder this week!

It’s funny that this same week, my husband sent me a link to this YouTube video! I thought it was quite ironic because of the week I had with our ‘communication issues :o)!

Check this video out….it’s PRETTY FUNNY! I LOL! 🙂 Have a great day everyone and DO or LEARN something NEW!
