This is a photo of a diver from Jolyn’s website. Jolyn creates swimsuits designed for athletes.

FIRST THING:

Three coincidences happened over the weekend within one hour.

I was talking to our guests about Jolyn swimsuits after my friend asked about the Jolyn stickers on my Hydroflask.

I explained that when my daughter was in high school, Jolyn hit the scene in Southern California. Jolyn was immediately popular because the suits don’t come off in the ocean or swimming in the pool — yet they added some fashion flair. My daughter said their stickers were popular with her age group. Swimmers put the stickers on their water bottles, placed at the end of their lanes during swim practice. That was great advertising for Jolyn.

The minute that conversation was over, I was pinged a Jolyn ad on my iphone.

(My stickers on my Hydroflask came from birthday swimsuits from daughter. I asked her to order suits with their biggest behind coverage possible. I love my Jolyns.)

Next, my friend was baking my husband a belated birthday cake. We were all four talking about his age (which I won’t disclose.) Ping. My iphone sent me an article on how to celebrate a birthday of that particular age.

The final iphone thing was after I pointed out these two coincidences. The friend’s hubby said, “They are listening to your conversations. You need to turn off certain things on you iphone.”

Ping. Article popped up, “What Apple doesn’t want you to turn off.”

Those three things happened within one hour.

Coincidence? Or Not? What are your thoughts?

SECOND THING:

A text I received from my son. He introduced me to Wordle over a year ago and taught me his formula.

I texted this back at him:

Notice they are identical except my squares are black. It’s not a coincidence. If you want to know the formula, I’ll let you know.

THIRD THING:

This is a potato I discovered this weekend. I wanted to share it with Mama Lava from Mama Lava’s Back Porch.

This month she is posting 28 days of love that include uplifting messages, scripture and hearts she has found in nature. I wanted to post this potato on her blog, but WP wouldn’t let me place an image in her comments.

Do you know how to place images in comments? If so, please share.

What are your thoughts about my things posted above?
