TGIF! How was your week? We had a good week. Quiet but good. I am in cleaning/organizing mode, tidying upstairs after the kids left and going through cabinets and drawers downstairs. Here's a look at some favorites this week.
ONE
HEB has the absolute best deal on roses - $9.99 for a dozen roses that last for about 2 weeks. The picture above is from the day I bought them. Now they have fully opened and are the most gorgeous roses I've ever seen. All for about $10! These bright colors brighten the kitchen and my spirits!

My aunt found these vintage aerial photos online. (Is there anything you CAN'T Google in today's world?) The top photo shows the house where she and my mother grew up in Mars, Pennsylvania outside of Pittsburgh. Now there is a Sheraton at that location. The second photo shows the motel across the highway that my father's family owned and ran, all while raising five kids. What a treasure to have these old pictures.

I blogged this week about our new Air Tag holder for Albie's dog collar. You can check it out here.

Seven years ago we cut the cable cord, and we haven't looked back since. We have a hodgepodge of streaming channels, as well as our local channels with the antenna. Right now, we are only paying for Amazon Prime through our Prime Membership. The other streaming channels we either get free with a credit card we have or share with Grace through student accounts.
On a whim, I decided to sign up for YouTube TV. So far we are really enjoying it. I think the DVR feature will be so nice, as well as having all the channels in one place. As an added bonus, we can create multiple accounts for the family and they all have their own DVR. YouTube TV has raised their prices over the years, so now it almost feels like paying for cable tv. We will see how it goes!
Do you have cable, antenna, or just streaming? I'm curious!
FIVE
What I'm Watching - All Creatures Great and Small on PBS. This is one of my favorite shows, and season 3 does not disappoint. This cozy program has animals, the beautiful British countryside, charming characters and a historical setting. Just love it!
SIX
What I'm Reading - A Quiet Life by Ethan Joella - The lives of three individuals intersect in unexpected ways as they each deal with their own grief. So far I am loving this character-driven book with three narrators on audio.

Here are some funny meme's about getting older...so true!
On the agenda this weekend: maybe a movie and some shopping. Probably some patio time too!
Have a wonderful weekend!
I love YouTube tv and that is our main source. I love having all of my shows taped and ready in my library. We have a bunch of other, too, but I watch mostly on this. TV streaming has gotten crazy, right?
ReplyDeleteWe have been using YouTube TV for a few years now and we absolutely love it! We won't ever go back to cable! YouTube has everything we need and it's soooo much cheaper!
ReplyDeleteThose roses are beautiful! So cool to have those old pictures. I hope to spend some time cleaning/organizing the next few weeks. I love that meme! A good night's sleep is rare and treasured around here. Regarding cable, we are one of the few households that still have cable. We do have a few other services as well, but our home internet is linked with cable, so it seems to be about the same price as paying seperately for internet and streaming services. Maybe at some time I will re-visit that, but it works well for us now. Enjoy the weekend!
ReplyDeleteThe roses are so pretty! And those pictures are really cool. I'm totally going to look up my old house.
ReplyDeleteThose flowers are beautiful! Fresh flowers can always brighten up a room!
ReplyDeleteWe do a variety of streaming services. I love those vintage aerial pictures. That's so neat! I haven't picked up any grocery stores flowers in a while. I'll have to do that next week :)
ReplyDeleteWe just stream a few different services now that we were able to get reliable high speed internet. Those roses are lovely!
ReplyDeleteJust a few months ago, we decided to get rid of satellite. YouTubeTV is our main TV source & we absolutely love it!!! And it is waaaay cheaper than what we were paying for DirecTV. We even upped our internet data and between the couple streaming services we have & increased internet, we still aren't even CLOSE to what we were paying just for DirecTV.
ReplyDeleteThose roses are so pretty! We really need to cut the cable cord but Ben just can't do it! HA
ReplyDeleteWe've got way too many streaming channels happening. The biggest is the Disney/Hulu/Espn combo. But then Peacock, Paramount, Netflix, Amazon...Ugh.We do use them all though which is kind of sad.
ReplyDeleteWe stream and have cable. Lord have mercy, one has to be real careful or they will be spending wayyyyy to much on all this stuff. Often we just pay for a month so that we can watch one series and then cancel it. :o) Yes it is scary all that we can Google or should I say, all that others can Google. Scary! Have a great new week! Oh, love the memes!
ReplyDeleteI love having fresh flowers to brighten the spaces up around our house! Those are so pretty. So, where do you watch All Creatures Great and Small? I'm curious because my in-law's love that show and can't find it on what they use to stream with.
ReplyDeleteThe flowers are beautiful. I almost bought flowers at Trader Joe's on Friday but held off. I do love having fresh flowers though! We cut cable about four years ago...I was nervous to do it...but we enjoy Hulu...I've gotten the hang of it! (and we have Prime, Netflix and Disney +...I thought we cut disney, but I guess not)
ReplyDeleteCool old aerial shots. I love stuff like that.
