Three Things...Gratitude Thread

[Tink-osophy]

... Indiana Jones

 

[PollyannaMom]

Another one for Harry Potter!

This is Us - We used to have a great thread here analyzing it every week!

And of course, the Disney parks fandom!

 

[leebee]

Harry Potter, both the books and the movies. One of the best things about this series is that multiple generations can discuss the same book/movie. How often does that happen?

Indiana Jones- Well done, and very entertaining, IMO!

Trixie Belden books from when I was young. I had no time for Nancy Drew, I was a HUGE Trixie fan. Just wish I hadn't lost all of mine in a basement-flooding fiasco.

Afternoon hugs to all. I am possibly a lone in this thread not a Harry Potter fan at all. Of course always I am a fan with much appreciation always of all of kind you. We a enjoy different and similar things. How grateful extra to God daily I am that He brought us all together on kindness.

 

[SpaceMan5]

Star Wars
Lord of the Rings
Game of Thrones

You know...your basic nerd stuff

other shout outs: Marvel, Outlander, Indiana Jones

If you consider that nerdy stuff then I am happy to be called a nerd. Great choices! I have a list coming and there is no way I can limit it to 3....

LOL, I was never enamored with Harry but did enjoy the movies long after they came out.

Pirates of the Carribbean - Avast, how can I be the first to mention this as a fav!?!?

Speaking of Pirates, just a random off the wall random quote from Capt Barbossa - "the code is more what you'd call guidelines than actual rules" This is applied liberally when I play golf.

Cheers!

Today's Topic (Fri, 5/3) - 3 smells you're grateful for

1. I don't know why but early mornings always smell like Disney mornings to me and that makes me happy
2. Bakery smells. Doesn't matter if I am actually in one or just walking by..
3. Christmas pine tree

 

[WDWEPCOT]

Coffee
Citrus
Fresh cut grass

Happy Friday!

#1 - My Coffee - The pot has a timer and is always ready when I wake up. That smell as I’m walking down the stairs is a great way to start the day.

#2 - Potpourri from my Grandmas house - She had it in a vase with some fake flowers in it. It remains the same way as it was when she passed away in 2006. Sometimes I smell it to take me back to her house and to give me comfort when I need it. I still miss her very very much.

#3 - Incense at Mass - It makes me want to sneeze and cough, but I still love it.

 

[flyingdumbo127]

God's extra grace to me of smell period.

Fresh cookies baking
Christmas Trees
Fresh new morning air

 

[PollyannaMom]

Another vote for coffee!

Candles

Potpourri from my Grandmas house - She had it in a vase with some fake flowers in it. It remains the same way as it was when she passed away in 2006. Sometimes I smell it to take me back to her house and to give me comfort when I need it.

Oh my gosh - I have of those too! Mine is a little ceramic thing with potpourri inside it. It used to sit by the sink at my grandma's.

Coffee
Citrus
Fresh cut grass

Mmmm.. citrus and coffee

 

[TiggerTrigger]

Puppy Breath...not that I'm in any mood to care for a puppy right now, but I love the smell.
The trail of perfume and body spray the girls leave behind when they leave the house in the morning.
New car...mine is about 3 years old and has lost it with all of the road trips, but I can still catch a whiff in DH's truck.

 

[mumto3girls]

1. Fresh Flowers
2. Christmas Tree
3. House when the windows are open

How did I miss that? My son and I quote the Pirates movies on a daily basis! "what a man can do and what a man can't do" "not all treasure is silver and gold, mate"

Smells
1. Peony, Lily of the Valley, Lilac
2. The smell of the Beach Club. I have one on those magic candles, but I won't burn it. Just smell it.
3. Rain

Also, a side weird thing...I still have a Love's Baby Soft candle from when I was a kid. It's in a tin with a lid and it still smells. I did find a cheap spray of it at the drug store.

 

[Tink-osophy]

Spearmint plants (very nostalgic for me)

Fresh peaches and fresh pineapple

Freshly cut grass and freshly pruned evergreen trees.

 

[Tink-osophy]

And of course, the Disney parks fandom!

LOL, I forgot about Disney!!!

 

[bluecastle]

1. Garlic simmering in olive oil

2. Cinnamon

3. Fresh air

Honorable mention: the Disney water smell, only because it brings me back there. Same can be said for burning Rome in SE, the WL lobby smell, and bakery smells and popcorn on Main St.
