Week 173!
I want to take just a little time to thank my cohosts! They are the best! If I’m late getting the link code to them, no one complains. They get it…time gets aways from us. If I’m really late, one of them will remind me, and I appreciate that. This has been a busy writing kinda week for me. Next weekend is our church women’s retreat, and I was partially responsible for creating it. I had some edits I needed to make. Then, I had a presentation to give today (Thursday) at the museum on the Pissarro family and Impressionism. On top of that, I had to write my post for the Global Writing Challenge. And, you know what? I got it all done! I get a silver star because I should have had at least one of those done before yesterday! Anyway, 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 Di from Di-alog! Now, that’s a clever name!
Di doesn’t have much as far as her biography, but she’s been blogging since 2008, and you can often find her featured on lots of fashion blogs. She has such a cute style! You can find her website here. Please visit and let her know we sent you!
Want to know more about us…
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.
Cat from Cat’s Wire is a bookworm, movie fan, crazy cat lady, armed with beads, cabs, wire and a very jumpy brain which loves to go down rabbit holes!
Rena from Fine, Whatever writes about style, midlife, and the “fine whatever” moments that make life both meaningful and fun. Since 2015, she’s been celebrating creativity, confidence, and finding joy in the everyday.

You’re welcome, Joanne!
Marsha, I hear you about the time getting away! I feel like I’m always playing catch-up these days. I never get anything done ahead of time anymore. LOL I love that you spotlighted Di this week! She is such a sweetheart and I love her personal style. She’s so very elegant! Thank you for also featuring my Something Old, Something New post. That was a lovely surprise. This week I’ve restyled those same split legged trousers so I will link it up! Happy weekend to you, my dear friend.
Shelbee
Thanks, Shelbee! I keep thinking I’ll get ahead of myself one of these days. You are welcome for the feature! I just loved that post with the split legged pants (and this week’s, too).
Hi Marsha, thanks so much for hosting every week. It’s a lot of work and you do it so well. I really appreciate the feature for the three fall vignettes. I love decorating for the season especially if it’s easy and budget friendly. Have a lovely week.
Lynne, Thrifting Wonderland
You are very welcome, Lynne! I just love reading your posts. They inspire me even though I’m in a holding pattern right now. I would just have to pack everything up when the kitchen renovation is going on.

You are so right! We have nothing on the books for this weekend so I’m going to try to get some blog posts written and ready to go.
Thank you for the shout out, especially as I wondered if that post was a bit weird…but I was curious about it….
You’re welcome, Lydia. I found this post so thought-provoking and just had to feature it. You are an amazing writer, and I love reading your posts.
Hi, Marsha – Life is full and there’s always more to do. It just goes on. The main thing, IMO, is to follow our bliss. Thanks for keeping up the link up! – Angie, http://www.yourtrueselfblog.com
You’re so welcome, Angie. I’m not sure I’m following my bliss right now so much as being pulled by it! But, after the next couple of weeks, life will slow down…just in time for the holidays!
