Bacon or sausage? If vegetarian, what do you have for breakfast?
Both please...but if I have to choose just one, then sausage.

Do you take time to "smell the roses"?
Probably not as much as I should.

What's your favorite stone fruit? (Peaches,nectarines,plums, apricots, and cherries are i n the stone fruit family.)
All of them please...but again if I have to choose just one, then plums.
 
What is the thing people notice most about your personality? ( quiet- outgoing- polite-funny-etc.)
I'm a little shy when walking into a room full of people...but if just one person will start a conversation with me, then I can have and be a lot of fun.  At least, that's what I think.  Not really sure what other people think.
 
Is there a hobby that you have wanted to do, but haven't started yet?
 I think I would like to try to make a quilt.  However, that will probably be a while yet before I do, because I'm really into crocheting right now.  And I'm even thinking of opening an ETSY shop to sell some of what I'm making.

Monday Quiz About Me

 

1. What is your favorite summer activity?

Cook-outs with friends and family would be near the top of the list.  Like for Independence Day, we went to my brother's house and they grilled out.  Unfortunately is rained all day, so we ate inside.  But it was still a really fun time because of being with family and friends.

 

 

2. Do you have a honey-do list? or a to-do-list of your own?

Only in my head.  I am not much of a list maker.

 

 

3. Would you go for a massage?  Facial?  Spa treatment?

I have never had any of the above.  But I think I would love to have a massage.  The other 2 really don't entice me much.

 

 

4. What was the last song you danced to?

The chicken dance and that was at Downtown Disney and I think I embarrassed my kids to death.  haha  Actually, I can't dance, never learned.  But hey, who can't do the chicken dance.  I can look silly with the best of them. 

 

 

5. (#5 is a question I get to ask of you if I want)  My question is:  How was your weekend?

For my answer, I have a couple of pictures.  They were taken Sunday.  After church and lunch out we came home and as this was the first sun we've seen in awhile, I took a couple of pictures of the beautiful blue sky.  And then Sunday night after church, a hot air balloon floated over our house.

 

 

Now, let me hear something about your weekend.

Happy Independence Day

Wednesday Hodgepodge

1. What's one simple small pleasure on your summer 'to-do' list?
To take some one day trips to visit places close by.  We already did one up to Amish Country and I believe we are going to Hocking Hills later this week.  There are so many interesting places to explore in Ohio and even in Indiana and Kentucky which are close to us. 

2. Do you have strong feelings or opinions regarding the immigration debate in your home country? Feel free to share your thoughts, but please play nice.
Mainly I just feel we need to enforce the laws we already have.

3. What's something in your home or wardrobe that could be described as 'star spangled'?
My flag hanging the front porch. 

I think the American Flag is so beautiful.

4. Is your house set up for a party?
Nope


5. What one never-before-visited city in America, would you most like to see?
Philadelphia

6. Your favorite red food? White food? Blue food?

Strawberries and Tomatoes (picture from Internet)

White Chocolate (picture from Internet)

Potatoes (picture from internet)

Blueberries (picture from Internet)

Blue MM's (picture from Internet)

7. What freedom do you value the most, and why?
To worship as I choose.  Because I don't want anyone (except Jesus) to tell me how to worship.

8. Insert your own random thought here.
Hoping to see our local parade (which is tomorrow) and also the fireworks.  Then planning to go to my brother's for a cook-out on the 4th and maybe some fireworks that night too.
