A day late with my #5JoysFriday I went home & crashed last night after traveling yesterday for work & hit the ground running errands this morning. In a busy week, most of my joy came from food but it was delicious & joyful.

1-2. I don‘t get joy from tiny planes but I did get to see a lot of beautiful joyful scenery on my first trip to Lanai. I spotted a reader in the wild on our tiny plane which gives me joy!💛

3-5. Food eaten: 3. Breakfasts:⬇️

DebinHawaii
… Egg Salad Toast & the most decadent corned beef hash Benedict with tater tot‘s.😋

4. Our retail branches have popcorn machines & smelling & eating fresh popcorn is fun & gives me joy!🍿💛

5. Lunches: Poke gives joy always & a delicious Ruben with (yes, twice this week) tater tots. 😋

I‘ll be around to see your joys soon. 🤗

Thank you for the tag last week @CoffeeK8 ! And thank you for doing this @DebinHawaii ! I love reading everyone‘s joys each week 💛

kspenmoll I afore cranberry anything! Lovely list! 19h
tpixie Starbucks has a new cranberry drink. I think the spices are a little heavy on cinnamon, but it was a fun change from a strawberry refresher. Frozen cranberries in plain Greek yogurt is really good. ❤️❤️❤️ 18h
CoffeeK8 That lunch location looks so cozy for the fall! 16h
Daisey I love cranberries this time of year as well. I canned some juice last week and am planning on a batch of cranberry eggnog bread soon. 14h

💛 Using fall pumpkins not only as decoration but also for delicious meals
💛 Baking pumpkin cinnamon rolls & bacon cheddar scones to share at a church breakfast
💛 Flowers from a student just because they wanted to share some joy
💛 Great colleagues at school who are also great friends
💛 Cozy blankets and snuggly pets as the weather turns cooler

#5JoysFriday

🇺🇸Election + ☔️🌧️💧= ☹️ so I decided to be intentional with some decisions this week.

1. Completed placing/cutting the flooring mats in our basement, our indoor dog training/play area
2. Deleted my FB & Instagram accounts
3. Made a yummy batch of minestrone
4. Have a big bin of household goods ready for donation
5. Deleted some apps on my phone, so reorganized my screens, adjusted widget

Seeing this post? You‘re tagged😊

mcctrish I made minestrone this week too ❤️ the perfect comfort soup 21h
DogMomIrene @mcctrish 🍲 I‘m a minestrone fiend! A fiend I tell you!😂 It‘s such an easy way to eat my veggies🍅🥕🥔🧅🥦 21h
Jari-chan Kudos for deleting your social media accounts 👏 21h

mcctrish It was my dad‘s favourite soup and he loved all soup but minestrone is top tier soup 20h
DogMomIrene @Jari-chan Thank you! I‘ve been on a streak with my digital cleanse. 20h
DogMomIrene @mcctrish Totally! I‘m a late minestrone lover, but I think it‘s because I‘m making it myself. Such a huge difference. 20h
Amiable Your basement looks great! 20h
DogMomIrene @Amiable Thank you! We‘ve worked hard to remove wiring & old shelves, and install new lights and a heat pump to make it a good indoor space for blustery days. 20h
AnnCrystal 👏🤩👍💝💝💝💝💝. (edited) 19h

#5JoysFriday @DebinHawaii

1. Despite why we‘re here, Brian & I are remembering to take care of us too.
2. Sherlock. I miss him but get a daily “Mornings with Sherlock” pic from home.
3. I have 2 coffee shops on island that I love & lots of ebooks & audiobooks to choose from.
4. Overnight, one area put up a dozen winter inflatables. I love the holidays here. (Wasn‘t expecting holiday music before Thanksgiving)
5. Brian. Always. 💙💚💙

#5JoysFriday (a day late) @DebinHawaii

1. Litsy has a permanent place on my list of joys.

2 and 3 While I shouldn‘t be buying more books, Pango and ThriftBooks = spending a little less and not using Amazon as much.

4 and 5 Sunshine and nice temperatures mean sitting outside and reading.

Tag: @BookmarkTavern @kwmg40 @Enchanted_Bibliophile @EKonrad @PageShifter @julesG @CogsOfEncouragement

DogMomIrene Yes on Litsy‘s importance. I‘m so glad I decided to make Litsy my social media platform of choice. 22h
Sace @DogMomIrene Amen! It‘s not that I think it‘s pure escape and the world never appears, it‘s that it‘s a calm and respectful place even when opinions differ (though in the past I was not so calm, empathetic or kind myself. I see that now.) 21h
DogMomIrene @Sace Totally agree. Husband & I named our dogs Bernie & Lizzie after the Senators and we moved to 🇨🇦 because we‘re good with tax💸 going to social supports. Litsy feels very Canadian to me in that people do calmly express their views and folks remain respectful. Please don‘t be hard on yourself. In my early Litsy days, I remember a few people who I don‘t see here now being kind of not kind, and I have no recollection of that ever including you. 20h

Amiable @DogMomIrene How are things looking with Canada‘s next election? I‘m reading things that concern me —Canada can‘t become the next North American hellscape! The U.S. already has that spot filled starting in 2025. 😖 20h
AnnCrystal 💝💝💝💝💝. 19h
Sace @DogMomIrene You are too kind. I just remember a post 2020 election post from a Litten who truly feared what Biden‘s election would mean for her and while I don‘t think I was overly cruel, I also don‘t think I was very empathetic either. It‘s stuck with me. 19h
Sace @Amiable And by gum we have to be number one at something! We can‘t let Canada win. 🤣 🤣 🤣 (so I don‘t 😭😭😭) 19h
tpixie Nice!! I‘m trying to use bookshop.org more- alternating with proceeds going to my local bookstore & Friends & Fiction- since I live their podcast and what they have done for the literary world and Indy bookstores. 15h
DogMomIrene @Sace 🤗🤗🤗 15h
DogMomIrene @Amiable Answer Part 1: So we moved from BC to PEI. The riding we lived in out in BC was razor thin between NDP & Conservatives for the provincial election. The number of “🤬 Trudeau” signs I saw in our small town in 2021 - 2023 when we moved was surprising. The Maritimes are more conservative, but they‘re generally more polite about not agreeing with Liberals & Greens. NDP doesn‘t really get votes here. 15h
DogMomIrene @Amiable Answer Part 2: for federal election, I think anything can happen here. Pierre Poilievre, Conservative leader has his quips of a platform: “Axe the Tax, Build the Homes, Fix the Budget, & Stop the Crime”. And Federal govt is cutting back on # of immigrants they‘ll be allowing in. What I‘m hearing after the Trump win is that some Canadians are concerned about the border, and whether 🇺🇸 will honor Safe 3rd Country Agreement. 15h
DogMomIrene @Amiable Answer Part 3: Canadians I know are definitely concerned about what may happen with Trump. They may be voting for a party leader who they feel can handle Trump. Hence me saying I think it‘s in the air… at present. 15h
Sace @tpixie I have not heard of that podcast. I‘ll have to give it a listen. 13h
tpixie @Sace they are live on fb and YouTube every Wednesday. The episodes are also podcasted. They started in 2019 during Covid with five authors chatting weekly. And then they started having author guests. Now there are four authors who switch off every other week with a guest author & once a month all 4 are together. 11h

5. I listened to Taylor Bradshaw‘s new live album also released recently. ❤️

DogMomIrene What walking game are you playing? I walk with my dogs a lot, so I track distance but I know how much I can get motivated with gamification. 22h
mcctrish I‘m curious about the walking game too 21h
kelli7990 @mcctrish @DogMomIrene The walking game is called Walking Planet. (edited) 16h
