Welcome to the Weekend Traffic Jam Reboot!
My
posts for the link up will go live on Thursdays at 9:30 p.m. EDT or, if
you live in the future like I do, on Fridays at 3:30 a.m. CE(S)T.
Happy International Whisk(e)y Day!
I'm not kidding. The event was announced in 2008 and launched March 27, 2009 in honor of English whisky and beer writer Michael Jackson. Don't confuse it with the World Whisky Day in May, though.
So here we go - cheers!
Are you ready for the weekend?
As part of the reboot, we will be featuring a different blog every week.
How about stopping by and saying hello? Let them know we sent you.
This week our spotlight is on Huisvlijt.
Nicole from Huisvlijt says: "Al ruim 20 jaar blog ik op Huisvlit over alles waar je in het leven mee te maken krigt. Van praktische ..." Oh, excuse me, haven't I mentioned that Nicole is in the Netherlands? No worries, you can easily switch to English on her blog! Let's try this again. "For over 20 years, I have been blogging on Huisvlijt about everything you encounter in life. From practical matters to personal things. Huisvlijt offers practical information, inspiration, and recognition from personal experience. ... Nicole Orriëns: UU psychologist, mother and professional blogger. I studied psychology at Utrecht University and obtained my Master's degree in psychology there in 1993. On my blogs, I combine my academic background with daily life."
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 has what she calls a jumping spider brain. She has many interests and will blog about whatever catches her attention - crafts, books, old movies, collectibles or random things.
Rena from Fine Whatever Blog 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.
Here are some of my picks from last week's link up.
Lisa is talking about giving the benefit of the doubt.
If you are not ready for going grey yet, Alison has some tips on grey blending for you.
I have never read Laura Ingalls Wilder's books myself (and only watched a few episodes), but if you are a fan, Lisa's post about "Pa" Ingalls might be interesting for you.
Do you love bookshops? Lydia shows you a special one in Venice.
Let's link up!

I'm not a whiskey drinker, but in the "spirit" of things, I did a flight of whiskeys at the Jack Daniels brewery. Tasted like cough syrup to me!

I don't drink much at all, but every, now and then it's nice to have a sip. This bottle is really old because I keep forgetting about it and you see how little is gone from it. It's a very peaty whisky and the first time I had it, I just smelled it for a long time and really enjoyed that.
DeleteThank you so much Cat!!!!! You made my day! I really appreciate you mentioning my blog.
ReplyDeleteYou are very welcome, Nicole! Have a lovely weekend!
DeleteThanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome!
DeleteI don't drink alcohol, and I had no idea about this day. I wish you a wonder filled weekend. Thank ❤️ 😊 you for sharing this.
ReplyDeleteLinda, I didn't know about this day before, either 😂 Or the World Whisky Day.
DeleteHave a wonderful weekend!
I didn't know it was International Whiskey Day. I think there is a day (or multiple days, obviously) for everything! :) Thanks for sharing about my benefit-of-the-doubt post. It's a practice I want to get better at; sometimes it comes easy and other times it is SO hard.
ReplyDeleteI think the Americans are #1 in having National Days, I still don't quite get the idea behind it (not saying it's not fun to read them, though). I'm sure I won't remember the International Whisk(e)y Day next year!
DeleteYou are welcome and absolutely right, it depends so much on your own condition on a day how easy or difficult it is to do.
Ha! I know of people who consider everyday International Whiskey Day. 😵💫
ReplyDeleteThere certainly are. I think my 16 year bottle spent another 16 years with me already 😂
DeleteP.S. I apologize for being so far behind on your blog. Eventually, it will calm down enough that I can catch up.
ReplyDeleteHey, you do your thing and get settled. I just hope it will be rather earlier than later, so you can both enjoy it.
DeleteThanks for hosting the party and enjoy your weekend.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend too, Nancy!
DeleteMy husband would love any reason to sip a bit of whiskey... me, not so much! Thanks so much for another fun party, Cat! Have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteWe all have our favorites! Have a lovely weekend, Laura!
