Weekend Post

Hi Everybody!

Hope you are all keeping well and safe. I am slowly recovering fom my Post-Covid, but still feel rather ghastly. But I have the feeling that it's moving in the right direction.

On Tuesday I should have had my post for Tag Tuesday ready, but I couldn't manage it, and dear Pinky took over at short notice.  Thanks
so much Pinky, I really appreciate this! And if you have time, visit her blog, it is always very well worth it! The theme is 'snow' so if anybody has some spare time a snow tag might be a good idea... I have a hybrid tag:



These tags were made in 2020, all using photos taken here where I live.

The first one shows the tree next to our house when we had lots of snow - back in 2010:

This one is a photo of the path leading to a little park near here:

This one is a photo of the path leading past the castle ruins, with my late husband as a baby and Erika as a little girl:

Some thinkies and funnies:







On Monday I hope to be back again with a new post. I will try to catch up on visiting you all over the weekend.

Have a great one, take care,
And thanks a lot for coming by!

    It's good to know you're feeling much better. Your hybrid tags are wonderful and I love that gorgeous snow-covered tree along with the old family photos you managed to add to them. That coffee shop meme is the best one ever and truer words were never spoken!

      Thanks Carol! Yes, coffee shops like that are necessary, and we all need to learn to accept all colours, religions and backgrounds as equals. Have a great weekend! Hugs!

    Ghastly is not the way any of us wish to feel, Valerie, so please become unghastly very quickly and return to us very soon with your wit, talent and good humour intact. Hugs and kisses - David

    I'm glad to hear you are moving in the right in the direction Valerie. It does sound like it's taking a while though, so hopefully the rest of your recovery goes quickly. Nice tags, and you always found such thoughtful funnies. Take care, get your rest, and don't rush back to blogging until you feel up to it. But it is good to know you are improving. :) hugs-Erika

      Thanks Erika! My cough gets better day by day, the fatigue is still bad, and I can't concentrate. But apart from that I'm fine! Hope all is well with your family! Hugs

    I like all your photos. Very different from Hawaii, that's for sure. No snowy paths where I live, though there is snow on Mauna Kea on the Big Island.

    I had planned to stop by yesterday to thank you for your heartfelt comment on the cow, but I was still too emotional. Your snow tags are beautiful. Each is a real gem.

    Loved the funnies and thinkies. The four men were definitely not ass holes. Loved all the cat humor, and that last one had me clapping, too!

    Now I'm wondering where I've been. You poor thing! It does sound as though you are picking up a bit. Loving the tags and all those great thoughts today. Take care. Hugs Angela xXx

    So good to hear that you feel you are picking up bit by bit but such a shame that it is taking so long for you to feel on the road to recovery. It really has had a hold on you so you must listen to your body and do what you can when you can and not try to leap ahead.
    Lovely tags you are sharing, lots of inspiration there for various wintry themes.
    Take care, Hugs, Neet xx
