Charlie O'Shields

“little hot dogs carved to pop up like little figures as they boiled”? That’s a new one on me. Do you know what that does to an imagination like mine? I’ve got to look them up and see what they’re like or there’s no telling where my mind will go. I’ve seen enough horror movies that this could go badly!

Bologna, Charlie? Hot dogs are good but have the same fat and salt as bologna. Ewwwwwww. You know once you get used to not using salt and sugar ecept for cookies at Christnas, ahem, you don’t miss it. That stuff is no good for you.

I moved my day of no meat, fish, or chicken a day early as the ground beef is too frozen for tonight so I get Greek pizza!!! Yayyyy. One hour and 30 minutes to go.

Take care and think of me when you go for salted foods. See the horrified look on my face.

Lots of good childhood memories associated with popsicles and this kitten looks to be thoroughly enjoying the variety of flavors in this popsicle! Nice one, Charlie!

That’s a refreshing looking lolly.

Hello! 😃💕 Yeah… I’m sure there’s photos of those hot dogs. I think some people add buttons and a tie with mustard or ketchup. Fun as a kid, at least! And that soup bowl sounds bizarre… not sure I’d want to see something living and swimming below my food! lol Much love!

Thanks so much, mi amiga! 😃💕 Yeah, so many foods I had back then are sort of gross to think about now. lol I never got into the icy sweet drinks, but my fave drink was the cherry limeade from Sonic. Though I tried one a few years ago and it was too sweet for me. There’s a little ice cream left in the freezer though I might be having later! Hugs!

Thanks so much, Shawn! 😃💕

Oh Charlie I ate some doozies when I was a kid too. Bologna, so much bologna! Rolled up with cheese cold or fried over the burner on a fork! And when the ice cream man (the mostly sober one) came rolling up, out of tune, we ran for the curb waving and squeeling. I usually needed some chocolate…anything, but one year he had 7up Popsicles. I surprisingly had those all Summer and have never forgotten them😆 I too am now relegated to no sugar, and now no gluten and mostly no processed thi ngs. But I still listen for the music fly by on Summer afternoons and just wave😆👋

Charlie thank you so much for all the fun paintings this July month. I look forward to seeing what’s up for August !

Thanks, Charlie, for a challenging and wonderful World Watercolor Month!!! Will be looking forward to your Tuesday rambles!!

Thank you so much, Charlie, for all the hard work and effort you do for this month, and for the cheer and encouragement you give us all. You’ll never know how appreciated it is!

Excellent sunset! It is different from your usual sketches — likely because there is no pet in it. Thatsunset is beautiful. Many of us will miss your daily presence. It’s been fun! Thanks Charlie.

Nicely done, Charlie.

Aww thanks so much, Marisela! 😃💕 I’m with you about August though… it’s a bit of a drag waiting for summer to end already. hehe And here’s to taking steps forward with hope, confidence, and love! Much love to you mi amiga! ❤️

Marisela, God never forgets us. There are programmes out there to help manage SADD, check online.

Fall shows up here soon too, the trees stand there as if to say they are done and then fall goes away for a month or so and lets us finish summer. It’s been in the high 30’s C here in BC, Canada (35C is 95F) and 40C so I walked just after sunrise. I remember when the sun never felt like it scorched, the ozone layer really is wrecked.

Loves and hugs.

L9ve this 😊

Thank you so, so much Charlie and all you ambassadors of World Watercolor Month! So many lovely moments shared! I also finished out with a golden sunset from my edge of the World🌅

Thanks so much! 😃💕

Nice record player, Charlie, and cute mice too! Today was just a running in circles kind of day. Enjoy your quiet, restful evening!

That record player reminds me so much of the first one I had when I was around seven. It came with a couple of Teresa Brewer records, which just happened to be someone that Dad thought was the bomb, so I suspect he wasn’t thinking of me when he picked them out, lol. Nonetheless, I loved those records and totally wore them out.

Aww thanks mi amiga! 😃💕 I have one more post this weekend, then I’m back to Tuesdays! It’s been so fun to hang out… feels like coming home again. And much love to you my friend! You’re special to me as well!

Charlie I had spaghetti squash today with spaghetti sauce (hot) so we must have heard each other. I even get leftovers! I will miss your daily input on the site. Take care and see ya Tuesday.

OMGOSH! I just saw your mice! 8/6/22 (Sometimes I think you’re brother from another mother!)
