I Like Thursday #269


 It's time again for Thursday likes! A bunch of us bloggers post positive and fun content every Thursday. Please visit LeeAnna over at Not Afraid of Color to link up with more participating blogs. I was so happy to see our daffodils sprouting. I know for sure Spring is here. Sort of! It's still cool and wet today but I'm hoping our weather improves. 

I received this card from my daughter for my last birthday. I love it! This kitty is surely enjoying life! I lover her outfit too. She's very cool as well as stylish!!

I just started reading this book and so far, I like it. It's a new take on Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn but from Jim's perspective. Jim is a slave but not all is as it seems. Jim is putting on an act. He's smarter and more intelligent than he lets on. It's an interesting read.


The prompt this week asks about our Easter as children. Well, we always got a new outfit. Since my dad was a tailor. he made us new coats for Easter in this picture. I think I was 5 years old here and my brother is close to 1 year old. I always got a new hat, shoes and pocketbook as well as a dress. My mother made a huge dinner which usually included my grandparents. We always went to church and had our dinner early in the afternoon. Such great memories and so fun! I feel Easter is much more casual now and not as religious. We got chocolate but that's about it. 

I hope you had a good week and enjoy your weekend!!

    1. Thanks, Jeanna! I can't believe it's been over 60 years since that picture was taken.

  2. That photo is precious, Rosemary. I so much love to hear your Dad sewed your coat. What wonderful memories. Yes, it used to be quite the religious event but now it seems to be more about the bunnies and chocolate. Aw, Life.

    1. Thanks so much, Jocelyn! Yes, Easter is very different now. I wish it was more like it used to be.
