I hardly ever eat dessert! I know this comes as a surprise to many people, but I have always been this way. When I do eat dessert, here are some of my favourites: lemon meringue pie, fruitcake, homemade apple pie. I also love Butterscotch pudding.
Although I do enjoy spending time with friends, I love a quiet evening at home and spending some time with my cat, Romeo. He is 3 years old, black and white, with green eyes and a sweetie. On my quiet evenings I enjoy reading, watching television, doing my blog and crossword puzzles. I will keep this short...thank you so much for taking the time to read this. :)

Thank you all so much for visiting me here! I always appreciate and enjoy reading your kind thoughts, which you are always welcome to share!
Thank you, Linda for all the entertaining videos. I too love to stay at home for some quiet times on my own after meeting up with friends. I need to recharge my energy battery.
ReplyDeleteDear Linda, I liked 'Heathrow Airport Christmas' very much, thank you!
ReplyDeleteNo really nice Christmas adverts this year but yes, that Heathrow Airport one is quite good. Love that part showing them buying Walkers' Scottish shortbread - I would do the same too!
ReplyDeleteI love dessert, Linda !
ReplyDeleteWishing you a 'good' day.
Heathrow airport is very nice Linda. I also like butterscotch pudding ... yum, yum!
ReplyDeleteHello Linda, puds are the best part of a meal for me - Apple pie and custard, lemon meringue and fruitcake – delicious! I have never tried butterscotch pudding, but I love toffee, so I’m guessing I would love it!
ReplyDeleteI love quiet evenings at home and spend them in much the same way as you, although I don’t have a pet anymore. I would love another one but my son lives in Australia, and I do like to see him and his family every few years, and I would hate to leave a pet for weeks on end. The Heathrow airport advert makes me cry because it always makes me think of the family.
I'm on my way out now (Christmas lunch with friends) but will be back this evening to look at more of your clips. Thank you for sharing them Linda, have a lovely day x
You have some really terrific quotes today, Linda. Really loved the snowflake one!
ReplyDeleteAnd it's always nice to learn things about folks.
Muy lindo todo. Feliz semana.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing a little bit more of who you are, Linda. I'm afraid I'm too fond of desserts, though, and my waistline tends to show it! :) Another wonderful post with cool videos, especially the Heathrow ad and the various posters. I might recommend, though, that you take down the one with the quote from Rush Limbaugh...he's a notorious drug addict and radio commentator who fills the airwaves with horrible lies, tearing down people and our country. In fact, many of his sponsors have withdrawn their support of his program. Please don't think this is a negative comment on your post, because it's not...just a negative comment about a negative commenter. Hope you have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday!
ReplyDeleteThe truth about cell phones! So true!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad the kitten recovered
ReplyDeleteBonjour Linda,
ReplyDeleteTout est beau mais la vidéo avec les petits enfants chinois qui rencontrent leurs parents adoptifs a fait battre mon coeur.
Nous avons adopté deux enfants nous aussi et mon fils était âgé de 5 ans lorsqu'il est arrivé à Dorval. Ma fille nous sommes allés la chercher à Haïti. Je me suis permise de prendre cette vidéo pour la mettre sur ma page FB
Good morning Linda. The tiny hedgehog is so beautiful. I hope it made it into the big wide world safe and sound. Over here our hedgehogs shopuld all be now hibernating for the coming winter.
ReplyDeleteHello Linda, YUM! Apple pie is my favorite. Your evenings with your kitty sound peaceful and relaxing. Love the videos and the quotes. I hope you have a perfect day. HAPPY Monday, enjoy your new week ahead!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sharing, dear! Have a great week! xoxo
ReplyDeleteAlways nice to learn a little more about you. The orphan girl meeting her adoptive Mum was a tear jerker and I found some of the quotes quit uplifting today.
ReplyDeleteI always love learning more about you. I didn't know you had a cat. Nice to have someone to share your life with.
ReplyDeleteI loved the kitten video. I linked this post to Awww Mondays. That was a huge awww.
Have a fabulous day Linda. ♥♥♥
You and I may be the only two people on the planet that will admit to liking fruit cake. Lemon meringue pie was my mother's and is our daughter's favorite dessert. Have a blessed day.

ReplyDeleteAMEN to that!
Lots of good quotes today! Happy Monday!
ReplyDeleteMmm I love apple pie. I don't think I've had butterscotch pudding. Need to search for it :-)
ReplyDeleteLOL, cute zombees! Happy Monday!
Linda, Desserts...well we avoid them except for special occasions and the Holidays. I am a pie guy! My wife loves pudding! We both love good scones, muffins and coffee cake although technically they aren't desserts!
ReplyDeleteYour Romeo is much different than our JD. JD rules the house and its all about him! Fortunately he's about 13 so he sleeps a lot or he'd drive us crazy. He has his own room and he expects my wife to put him to bed every night...along with a ritual of snacks, playtime and a massage.
Loved the cute teddy bear sequence... This is definitely a feel good time of the year for most folks. I totally agree that we are personally responsible for our own happiness no matter what our situation is... Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
Hi darling and Happy Monday to you !
ReplyDeleteI so loved the video of the Unstoppable Kitten, he's so cute !
Hope your week is off to a good start
I'm sending much love to you,
with utmost thankfulness

Hi Linda I am having endless problems with Google freezing on me, I have wasted hours today retyping and rebooting so if I disappear for a bit you know why. I am very frustrated! Love the horse and dog friends, reminds me of my first show jumper Dusky and my Great Dane Rocky. Will try to find a photo for you. Have a good week Diane
ReplyDeleteWe are so much alike Linda. I always enjoy your post and come away with lots of meaningful lessons from your videos and quotes. Have a blessed day. Madeline
ReplyDeletemerci pour les informations Linda
ReplyDeletela première vidéo ma préférence
have a nice day
greetings
Remember butterscotch pudding with the "skin" on top? OMG I used to LOVE THAT!!!! I also love homemade apple pie and I LOVE Coconut cake! White cake with coconut frosting!! catchatwithcarenandcody
ReplyDeleteGreat stories about the hedgehog and the cat. 🐱
ReplyDeleteDear Linda awesome and heart touching video of the orphan meeting her new mom. What wonderful and giving people. So glad you shared this special moment. Also sounds like you and I both enjoy those quiet evenings as well. Have a great week. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteI look forward to your posts because they warm my heart, sometimes make me cry, but always make me a better person.
ReplyDeleteI have been seriously sad lately for lots of different reasons. Your words and pictures help me stay afloat.
ReplyDeleteJono, thank you so much for taking the time to stop by and I am so happy that my posts help you in some small way. Hugs to you.
DeleteLemon meringue pie is a childhood fave for me. :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Linda, I love the hedgehog video. :) Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like Romeo makes for good company.
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday Linda... I really love that commercial Sobeys Star of Christmas... I remember it from the 80's and I like that they did a remake xox
ReplyDeleteMerci pour ce doux billet chère Linda, gros bisous, bonne soirée tout en douceur!
ReplyDeleteHello Linda, The videos are so touching, the little cat, the hedgehog and the adoption...Every one touched my heart hugely. The little bears are so adorable, they remind me of our shitzu fur babies. ...The little faces...the mannerisms. You have such a knack for picking wonderful videos!
ReplyDeleteDeserts? That lemon pie sounds really good...Any pie sounds really good! *big smile* I can't do deserts any longer because sugar is extremely toxic to me. The only 'desert' I eat anymore is a stevia sweetened chocolate square form time to time.
I enjoyed reading about your quiet evenings with Romeo, I love that name! He sounds beautiful. Your evenings sound very nice. You gets to dos what ya wants to dos... : ) I like sitting and watching a good old b/w movie many evenings with our pets.
I enjoy your posts Linda, loved that quote on looking in the mirror at that one person. So true...
Blessings to you Linda!
cute hedgehog:)
ReplyDeleteIn my table,can not miss dessert, usually consists of some fruit, only on special occasions we consume cakes.
ReplyDeleteKisses
Great post. I also appreciate butterscotch pudding! The hubby doesn't quite understand my affection for that flavor but still surprises me every once in a while with some :o) I really enjoyed the kitten and hedgehog videos-so precious!
ReplyDeleteHi, Linda! Thank you for the great goodies on your blog post today! My kitty is mostly black with a little bit of white in her face, on her chest, on a few toes. LOL I love the black and white kitties! Like you, I enjoy quiet evenings just "being". hugs, de
ReplyDeleteHi Linda! Well, I always eat dessert, unless it has coconut or too much fruit in it. I'll eat yours! Lol!
ReplyDeleteYour meme's hit home again with me today, especially the one about me being responsible for my own happiness. It's been a challenging year, and these weeks are no exception. I should cultivate a joy in seeing my life in spite of it all. That's an important quality to have.
Blessings,
Ceil
Hi, Linda...when I feel my life is so stressful, I visit here and receive a gentle reminder that I could be the cause and that I can stop it.
ReplyDeleteI never leave frowning...but always with a smile.
Thank you ☃❄🎄
Kindness opens the heart and brightens the day for both those who receive and those who give...
ReplyDeleteGreat words.
Home-made apple pie just sounds delicious!
Hope the week is going well for you
All the best Jan
Un gran pensamiento nos dejo Gandhi sobre la codicia de los hombres.
ReplyDeleteSaludos.
I hardly ever eat dessert either. I don't look it though :)
ReplyDeleteHave a good evening
(we follow via GFC now)
Love your blog! The positive energy here is refreshing. I will be back.
ReplyDeleteOdd and I are tea drinkers. I'm more of a green tea drinker while Odd prefers Russian Earl Grey or Indian Spice. I tried this vanilla and caramel tea that I got from my father when he came back from his vacay in Nice. It tasted like candy and it was delicious!
ReplyDeleteThank you Linda! Another meaningful post! I'm very grateful!
ReplyDeleteI love lemon pie and cats too!
Big Hugs!
I go out with friends and family quite a bit but I treasure my quiet time tremendously. Sometimes I think the only reason I go out is because I keep imagining myself sitting quietly on a chair green and mouldy all over.. lol
