1.  Haiku poetry is actually pretty easy to write.  Give it a try right here...

Am not a poet

But giving it a try

Still not a poet

2.  Haiku poetry aside, have you ever written a poem?  Will you share it with us?

Nope, see the above.

3.  Do you have a favorite poet or does poetry usually make you yawn?

I'm not a big fan of poetry.

4.  April 17  is National Ellis Island Family History Day, too,  Did any of your ancestors or relatives immigrate through Ellis Island from another country? 

Yes, my great grandfather and his brother immigrated from Germany.  I've always heard one of them was a stow-a-way.  Never verified for sure.

5.  We also celebrate National Cheeseball Day on April 17th.  Do you have a favorite cheeseball recipe to share with us or have cheeseballs basically disappeared from parties today?

My sister makes a really good cheeseball and that's about the only one I ever get.  I do not have a recipe with me, although I have made it before.

6.  If you want to share, please tell us something random about your week.

After church Sunday we are leaving on a trip to Florida and Texas to visit our girls.  I can't wait!  Although, I haven't even started packing yet.  lol

Thankful Thursday

Things I am thankful for:

** Our local PetSmart does a good job grooming Lucy.  We've used several different groomers there and they have all done well.

**  God's beautiful spring creation.  This blooming tree is in my sister's yard.

**  Hubby and I were involved an accident on Saturday.  I'm thankful that we were not injured and the damage is not terrible and we will still be able to take the van on our trip.

**  I've enjoyed having time to work on this baby blanket this week.  Hoping to get it completed before Easter.

**  We went to breakfast at Cracker Barrel and this cute bunny sat on the hearth.  Just had to get a picture.  Oh and breakfast was delicious!

Hope you have plenty of things to be thankful for this week.  You can click here to join in with Rebecca and Friends.

Thanks for visiting.

Wednesday Medley

1. How many siblings do you have? 4  Are you rivals or do you support each other in all you do?  I believe we support each other very well as adults.  Now when we were kids, I'm sure we were rivals at time, but no one else better pick on us.  lol

2.  Have you heard of the Birth Order Book?  What are your thoughts on the premise that your birth order affects everything you do in life? I have heard of the book but have not read it, so it's a little hard for me to answer this.  I'm the middle child, so I know I must be the most special.  lol

3.  Is there something that you still do that drives your siblings crazy?  Talking way too much.  I guess that's why they called me Chatty Cathy.  

4.  Are you closer to your siblings now than you were when you were younger?  I think I've always felt pretty close to them.  Being in the middle gave me opportunity to be close with the older and younger ones.  There have been times we didn't get to be as close as at other times in life.

5.  Would you dare to tell us an embarrassing story about a sibling?  No, I don't think I will here.  They might hurt me.  lol

6.  Tell us something random about your week.

My eye doctor sent me to a neuro specialist because of something he saw during my regular exam.  I went to see him yesterday and all is good!  My optic nerve is exactly what it's supposed to be.  Thank you Lord!  Love those good reports from the doctor.
