Week 180!
As you can probably tell, a lot of the content on these posts are copied and pasted from the last week’s. It’s interesting that I wrote the following: “I apologize for the lateness of this post. WordPress, apparently, has decided it has some kind of tiff with me, or maybe it’s my laptop it doesn’t like! I worked on a blog post for hours, trying to get photos to load, trying to get the post to save to proofread. You name it…anything I did,…Wordpress wasn’t having it! But, I wanted to get this post done! It may be abbreviated depending on WordPress’ cooperation!” Well, guess what? The same thing happened last night. I was inserting photos into a post that should have gone out early this morning. Everything was coming up roses, and then…the scroll of doom appeared. I couldn’t do anything. I finally gave up around midnight because Nigel had one of those every five year procedures (IYKYK), and I had to be up at 5:00! Also, our kitchen floor was put in yesterday! It was a last minute arrangement. Luckily, my oldest had come and torn out everything. My daughter and bonus son came over and moved the appliances out on Wednesday night. But, enough about me…it’s time for the Weekend Traffic Jam Reboot! I am always aiming for 9:30 pm EDT. So, on with the show, right?
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 Beth from Beth Willis Miller.
Beth writes, “Beth Willis Miller, M.Ed., is the author of Memorable Moments in the Holy Land, The Romans Road To Salvation; 26 Devotions Focusing on Christ in the Nativity Alphabet; Twenty Encouraging Devotions with Inspiring Bible Journaling Artwork; Name Above All Names Devotional: Focusing on 26 Alphabetical Names of Christ, with Illustrator Krista Hamrick, and 31-Day Prayer Journey Leading to Easter. She is married with two adult children, and two grandsons.” Please stop by her blog, and tell her we sent you!

Congratulations on the kitchen floor being done! Have a great weekend 🙂
Thanks, Cat! I am shocked at the difference it made in the kitchen. I’m going to do a before and after post though I’m not sure the difference will show all that much in the photos.
I do hope you get some rest over the weekend. New kitchens are great to have – it’s the getting there that’s the challenge!
Thanks, Penny! I’ve made great strides in getting the kitchen put back together. I hadn’t cleaned the dust up because I knew there would just be more. Now, I feel a bit better. There’s still some work to be done…the backsplash and putting the molding along the floors back. The primary bedroom (we’re not sleeping there right now) will be a mess for a couple more weeks yet.
Technical issues are so frustrating – I’m so sorry and hope that it will improve for you.
Thank you so much for the feature! – It made my day (I placed the button on my sidebar, as well as at the bottom of the featured post).
Have a great day!
Angie
PS My linkups this week are 41, 42, 43, 44 & 45
You are very welcome, Angie! I also mentioned you in my post about having nothing to wear! You always have to many tips for how to wear things! I just need to learn to roll with the outages and technical things.
I’m happy your kitchen floor was finally done, and I know how frustrating doing a blog post and the technical difficulties get in the way. Thanks for favouriting my blog post, and thank you for hosting Marsha! Have a blessed Sunday! xoxox

Thanks, Trina! I got a lot put away, but now I’m waiting to get the last bit of trim put in. I just may end up using that nail gun myself! I was so glad to feature your post! I always love reading your blog.
You’ve had a busy time of it lately Marsha and then WordPress goes and has an issue with you – not fair!
Thanks for the mention of my post, I really appreciate your support. I’m glad to say I’ve got my orange mojo back xx
Deb at debs-world.com
You are very welcome, Deb! I really am glad you got your orange mojo back because I don’t know what I would think when I next saw it! I swear WordPress just doesn’t like me, and there’s no way to get help that I can find. I have to go through my hosting site. It usually works itself out in a couple of days, but sometimes, I don’t have those couple of days.
Sometimes WordPress can be quite tricky indeed. I often sigh when there’s yet another update! Sometimes I think: if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it when it comes to WordPress.
Oh, truer words were never spoken! And, it’s so frustrating because you can’t talk to anyone at WordPress. I complain here about it, and that’s probably why I’m having trouble! They’re reading my complaints and saying, “She ain’t seen nothin’ yet!” I hope not, though!
