1. Thankful for FB memories. A day at Disneyland back in 2017
2.The view from my bedroom window. The brown thing behind the plants is the jacuzzi. This is where I do most of my Bible journaling and crafting. I love to see the birds at the birdbath. 
3.Thankful cooler weather. it was high 80's this week and better than 90's. It will be in the low 80's next week. We have just a touch of humidity, but we also have a breeze.
4.Thankful for the Wednesday night book study on the 12 strong women of the Bible. Also for the paint party and potluck at my friend's house and our lifegroup girls.
5. Thankful for my Minnie Mouse/Minnie Monster
Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.
1) In this song, Shirley Bassey sings that she could be happy or sad. As you answer these questions, do lean more toward happy or sad? I was sad last night. I feel better today.
2) She tells us that she can save money or spend it. Do you try to stick to a budget? I try. I don't buy as many craft supplies because I don't really need more. Also because prices have gone up because of the tariffs.
3) By the time Shirley Bassey recorded "It All Depends on You," it was already an oldie, written back in 1926. Can you think of a song, book, or movie that you enjoy today that you believe audiences will relate to 2125? Gone With the Wind. A nation divided.
4) Though she has risen to the title Dame Commander of the British Empire (DBE), her childhood allowed her little education. She dropped out at 15 and got a factory job to help her family. How old were you when you got your first full-time job? What was it? When I was 14, I got to spend one summer working at Toy City. I had to get a student work permit. My mom was the manager of 9 stores. She would drop me off and visit the other stores. Harriet was the manager of the Santa Ana store. I worked 8 hours some day and the day went fast. I especially liked eating at Woolworths across the street. The only time I had a full time job was for 6 weeks in the summer of 1979. My sister and I got hired by the city to be day camp counselors. We were outside most of the time. I was already working part time for the postal service. I chose part time so I would be home with my kids during the day. I worked a lot of hours the last few years at the postal service. I was hired for 20 hours, but I would work 30-36 hours, but never 40 because I was not fulltime.
5) A favorite of the Royal Family, Shirley performed at the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Party at Buckingham Palace. How would you like to celebrate your next anniversary or birthday? Are you in the mood for a big blow out, or would you prefer something low key? I will be 70 next month. My kids asked me what I wanted.

6) Madame Tussaud's has two wax figurines of Shirley – one in London and a second in Las Vegas. Do you enjoy wax museums, or do you think they're creepy? I have been to one in San Francisco. This was taken in 2018 by Fisherman's Wharf, with "Carlos Santana".
7) In 1959, when this song was popular, most women wore nylons on a daily basis and the average price per pair was $1. What socks or leg wear – if any – do you have on right now? I had short ankle socks earlier that I wore with my Sketcher's. I am barefoot as I write this Friday evening.
8) Also in 1959, Alaska became our 49th state. Today, cruise lines showcase Alaska on 4- or 7-night cruises. What do you consider the perfect length for a vacation trip? Is a 3-day weekend too short? Are two weeks away from home too long? What's your ideal? I have been on three 7 day trips and I would love to go on a 10 day. My link to my Alaska cruise is linked at the bottom.
9) Random question: Which cable channel would you watch more often – one that shows nothing but classic sitcoms, or one that shows nothing but new movies? New movies.
Happy Birthday Loki!
