Weekend Traffic Jam - Week 159

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.

The other day my remote control wouldn't turn my TV on anymore. Of course, my first thought were batteries, but I was out of the right size. When I got some, it was so disappointing that it still didn't work. Would you believe that my TV set doesn't have a manual power button ... unless it's invisible? Pulling the plug out didn't do the trick, either.
So I ordered a new remote, they are not expensive, and spent several days - thanks to a public holiday - waiting for it. It arrived on the same day as my new TV stick which came with a remote control of its own.
Guess what! Not only could I use that remote to turn the TV on, but all the other buttons on the old remote worked just fine. The next day the power button went back to working as well. After four days. Figures.
I was so excited to watch my new DVDs ... but found the remote of the player didn't work after it had worked just fine the day before. This time, however, it was the battery. What are the chances?
Do you think that's a secret remote control plot to drive me crazy? Next they will probably try to control me!

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 Crafty Gardener.

Linda from Crafty Gardener says: "Welcome, I'm glad you stopped by for a visit. Like life, this site, is a collection of many things.
I love crafting and I love gardening … hence my name was created … Crafty Gardener, who in real life is Linda.  Now I’m retired I have more time to do all the things I love to do, and I often wonder how I had time to go to work.  I’ve been sharing my love of gardening and crafting since my site was established in 2004 with my own domain as a gift from my family.
Gardening is just one important part of my life. Family is the most important part.  We have been married 50+ years, have 3 beautiful daughters and handsome son-in-laws and four wonderful and energetic grandchildren that keep us smiling and young!
...
There is also crafting, reading, sewing, genealogy, and all the other little things that make our life interesting and important. You can follow the drop down menus at the top of the page to see lots of my ideas, patterns, recipes, books and more."

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.
