Week 124!
I am so sorry for not getting this out on Thursday. I was just feeling a little overwhelmed and decided something had to give. That just happened to be the blog. I did start a new series on my Instagram about my closet. I know some of you are curious about it so head on over there and check it out! Anyway, welcome to the Weekend Traffic Jam Reboot! Look for the link up to go live Thursdays at 9:30pm EDT. Sue’s post goes live in Australia on Friday at 12:30 pm. Sue has returned from her European trip but is off on another in her homeland. I think she’ll be back next week.
As part of our new year reboot, we are now shining the spotlight on a different blogger each week. We invite you to stop by their blog, take a look around and say hello! This week, we spotlight Bettie from Bettie GsRAseasons.
Bettie says, “Thank you for stopping by! I wish we could sit down together, and get to know each other over a cup of tea. I’ve been blogging for a few years now, and thought it would be fun to share a little more of who I am with all of you. And in the process, I hope that you will feel comfortable to share a little of your story with me as well. I was raised in a Christian home, and my Mom told me that I asked Jesus to come into my heart when I was only 4 years old. But when I was 9 years old, and sitting in my Sunday School class listening to my favorite teacher praying, I suddenly realized that I could not remember telling Jesus that I wanted to live for him. That conviction caused me to stand up in front of all my friends and say that I wanted to spend my life following Jesus forever. It’s been an adventure ever since. You can find Bettie here, and please tell her we sent you!
Wouldn’t you like to know more about your hostesses? We’ve got you covered there! Please feel free to drop by the others to see what their blogs are all about! We are a very diverse group of bloggers. Links to each blog appear below.
Marsha from Marsha in the Middle started blogging in 2021 as an exercise in increasing her neuroplasticity. Oh, who are we kidding? Marsha started blogging because she loves clothes, and she loves to talk or, in this case, write!
Melynda from Scratch Made Food! & DIY Homemade Household – The name says it all, we homestead in East Texas, with three generations sharing this land. I cook and bake from scratch, between gardening and running after the chickens, and knitting!
Lisa from Boondock Ramblings shares about the fiction she writes and reads, her faith, homeschooling, photography and more.
Sue from Women Living Well After 50 started blogging in 2015 and writes about living an active and healthy lifestyle, fashion, book reviews and her podcast and enjoying life as a woman over 50. She invites you to join her living life in full bloom.

Thanks, Rena! I had a really good weekend. I attended a lecture on Saturday and spent Sunday afternoon and evening with my youngest granddaughter!
Thanks so much for hosting us all, Marsha! I know that feeling of needing to let go of something and I’m so glad you did. It’s so important that we take care of ourselves… something I’ve struggled with, too! I’d end up exhausted or even sick because I didn’t let go of something! As I’ve aged, I’ve learned the importance of prioritizing my own well being so I’m so glad you are choosing you! Thanks so much for the party!
Thank you, Laura! I appreciate your kind words. It’s amazing how busy retirement has become! You are very welcome for the party!
Good on you for choosing. There’s no need to get overwhelmed by a blog post. Have a lovely weekend, Marsha! 🙂
Thanks, Cat! I know I should have these posts “in the can” and waiting. But, my life just doesn’t seem to operate like that!
Also a bit late! Thanks for hosting Marsha.
You’re always welcome to the Jam, Nancy!
