My lovely elderly neighbour let me cut a bunch of the last autumn roses from his front garden today. We‘ve lived next door to him for 30yrs now, we unfortunately lost his wife, Sheila, to cancer a few years ago so we look out for him, especially now. Aren‘t they beautiful? They‘re David Austen roses, they‘re both English expats so Sheila tried to keep a part of the old country with her. #keeplitsypositive #bloominglitsy #isolationinteractions

Read this during #24in48 . Been on my #tbr shelves forever! Bought because of Madonna. Lovely illustrations(not by Madonna), and a sweet story.

The_Heeler_Booklife I‘m so glad to see this book! I‘ve been trying to remember a book I loved as a child and couldn‘t remember the title. Then, I saw this and it jogged my memory. 😍 7y
DivineDiana @allthingskayla Glad to help out! 😀 7y

#LyricalApril Day 10 #Holiday My daughter's musical heart belongs to Britney Spears and mine to Madonna! So for today's prompt, I want to remind Ya'll that Madonna is not only an entertainer extraordinaire but she's a published author (and don't forget about THAT coffee table book). And yes, I own EVERY book & EVERY CD .....although currently they are all in storage boxes 😜#Oncean80sGirlAlwaysan80sGirl

Texreader I was a Madonna fan in the 80s. I have loads of her singles. Yes vinyl singles. In high school I spent most of my spare money on books and music. It was only $5 to gas up my VW so I had lots of spare cash from my jobs. #oncean80sgirlalwaysan80sgirl. You nailed that hashtag. 8y
Cinfhen Oh man, the good ole days! $5 to fill the car and the cassettes blasting from the speakers @Texreader 😃😃😃 8y

Cinfhen Ok, so the lyrics aren't too deep @erzascarletbookgasm but they sure are catchy 😜 8y
erzascarletbookgasm @Cinfhen I was doing a karaoke session with the chorus. 😂I remember! #oncean80sgirlalwaysan80sgirl 8y
DebinHawaii Total 80s flashback for sure! And now stuck in my head! 😆👍 8y
LauraBeth I still ❤️ Madonna! 8y
Laura317 I suddenly feel the need to Vogue...🙅🏼🙋🏽🙆🏻🤷‍♀️ 8y
Reviewsbylola When I was a kid, @emilyhaldi and I had a VHS of Madonna music videos that we were obsessed with. 😂 8y
Cinfhen Of course YOU STILL ❤️Madonna...you can't stop loving her @LauraBeth 8y
Cinfhen @DebinHawaii @KarenUK @Laura317 @Reviewsbylola 🙌🏻💋🙌🏻💋VHS tapes!!! You & @emilyhaldi were probably 5& 7 when I went to my first Madonna concert 😂🎸🎤💓 8y
CherylDeFranceschi 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💕 8y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa Yes! You can take the girl out of the 80's, but you can't take the 80's out of the girl! 8y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Cinfhen The early lyrics might not be deep, but their better than some I hear today. And seriously, a message of taking time to enjoy the moment is a pretty good teen message to other teens, and it still works for me! LOL. I'm with you @erzascarletbookgasm 8y
Cinfhen That's true @Riveted_Reader_Melissa Some of today's lyrics are total crap!!! 8y
emilyhaldi Lol @Cinfhen @Reviewsbylola we lived off of those tapes until the day our mom happened to see what was in those videos and took them away immediately 😂 8y
TheKidUpstairs Everyone should own The Immaculate Collection 😀 8y
Cinfhen Hilarious @emilyhaldi 😂 8y
Cinfhen I agree @TheKidUpstairs it's pretty much a necessity 🙌🏻 8y
Gezemice I used to be a big Madonna fan, too, although I am partial to her 90ies albums, especially Ray of Light. 8y
Cinfhen Oh, I totally agree @Gezemice Madonna owned the 90's 💕💕💕 8y
