1. What is your pet peeve of the month, year, lifetime?
Not sure I really have one.  But maybe people being unkind to others.  

2. Do you have a pet? Tell us about your pet?
Yes, I do.  Miss Lucy, who is half yorkie and half lhasa apso (also known as a Lharkie)

3. What are some pet projects in your life?
Not sure I necessarily have one of these either right now.  However, I am hoping to get back into my genealogy stuff soon.  Although, I may need to wait until I retire next year.

4.  Do you feed the birds or other animals in the wild?
Currently I am not, however, I just bought a new bird feeder to put out and soon I will be putting out the hummingbird feeder again.

Currently

I am:

Reading…Nothing at the moment.  Finished my last book last weekend.  I'm sure I'll start something new this weekend.

Listening to…Waylon & Willie "Mammas Don't Let your Babies Grow Up to be Cowboys.  Kinda in a classic country music mood the last day or so.

Loving…the time at home with my hubby and dog in the evenings and on the weekends.

Thinking…it's time to read another book on video for my grandson.  "Old MacDonald Had A Farm" coming up next.  It's going to be so fun making all the animal sounds for him.  Hopefully it'll make him laugh.  

Feeling…blessed because my friends and family are all healthy.

Celebrating…being alive

Grateful…for a short visit with my mother-in-law last evening (from a safe distance) and see that she really is doing okay with all that's going on.

Weather…gray overcast day and it’s cold, but at least the rain has stopped.

Enjoying…a couple of documentaries on space and the Apollo and Gemini flights and planning to watch Apollo 13 this weekend.

A Thought to Share…

Thanks for visiting.

Thankful Thursday

Click above to link up.

Today I am thankful:

*** that we are still well  and so far as I know all of my friends and family are too.

*** that today is Thursday and it's getting closer to the weekend.  I'm thankful for my job and that I'm still working, but I am so ready for this week at work to be over.  It's been a bit stressful.

*** that I was asked to help make these for my sister's church who is making masks for many medical facilities and hospitals in our area.  Turned in 29 yesterday and I thought we were done, but we decided to see how many more we could make for one more week for them.  So blessed to get to help someone else.

***hubby just texted me that he had a pop-up on his reminders that it's 200 days until our Myrtle Beach trip 2020.  Cannot hardly wait!!  lol

***and as Stacy always says, I am thankful for each one of you.

Have a blessed day.

1. In Monday’s post I mentioned I would incorporate the word I was given for letter K into this week’s questions. That word was karaoke. On a scale of 1-10 how excited would you be to find out there was karaoke happening at your next gathering/outing with friends? 10=gimme that microphone!, and 1=I suddenly remembered there’s somewhere else I need to be. Have you ever actually done karaoke? If you had to perform karaoke what would be your ‘go-to’song?
I'd be a 3 or 4 because I would enjoy watching and listening but I wouldn't probably be willing to sing.  There was a time and place when I would have as I've sung at weddings and funerals and church services for years.  However, I've not sung much in the past several years and I've lost my voice.  I no longer have much range and my voice cracks a lot now.  That being said, I love to watch others do Karaoke and would have a blast being the audience.  If I were to actually do Karaoke I'd probably choose an old country song...maybe Jolene or I Fall to Pieces...something like that.

2. How do you listen to music these days? Favorite app or do you listen the old fashioned way? Do you have music playing often in your home? Is there still a CD player in your car?
About the only time I listen to music is at work on Pandora, which I really enjoy.  Sometimes I also listen to YouTube Music Videos.  No, I don't listen to music at home often, except for sometimes the YouTube Videos.  Yes, we have a CD player in our vehicles.

3. The HP lands on US tax day this year. Or what used to be tax day before everything including filing your taxes was cancelled, delayed, postponed or extended. FYI- filing your taxes has not been cancelled, only delayed for a bit.

Besides staying away from anyone and everyone, what have you found taxing lately?
The hardest for us probably is that we can't meet for church.  I really miss being with our church family.  Otherwise, since I'm still working everyday (hubby too), not a lot has changed except going out to eat.  Now it's just carry-out (which is okay too).

4. You’re without power so no oven, and you can’t open your frig or freezer in order to keep what’s in there from spoiling. And you don’t have access to take out. What will you make us for dinner?
I think the only thing left would be chips, crackers & peanut butter and fruit.  lol

5.  I’ve seen this exercise going around Facebook and thought it would be a good one to include in the HP...what are five things everybody seems to love and go crazy for that you personally don’t care for?
Coffee, Tea, The Bachelor, The Office and anything with Zombies

6.  Insert your own random thought here.

Easter Weekend 2020

Ours was a quiet weekend and mostly spent at home.  Friday we stopped on the way home after work and picked up some chicken from Domino's for supper.  Seems strange to get chicken from a pizza place, but it was very good.

Saturday we slept in a little and then took a run to the post office and to Krogers and then picked up lunch.  We spent the rest of the day at home.  Lucy and I took a long walk in the neighborhood and then we were back home for the rest of the day and watched some TV and did a bunch of reading.

I'm thinking maybe she was a little tired after the walk.  lol

Sunday morning we were up early and got cleaned up and headed to Walmart first.  We needed some hamburger and I needed to get some buttons.  I've been asked to help make some of the straps for the face masks.  My sister's church is making masks and they asked her to make some of the straps as the masks are hurting the workers' ears and she recruited me to help.  They are really easy and kind of fun to make and I'm thankful for the chance to get to help.

some completed and some in progress

After the quick run in Walmart we headed to church and hubby did his first FB Live Sermon.  I think it turned out really well.  I'm so proud of him.  If you follow me on FB I shared it on my page, if you are interested.  It was a really good sermon.

After that we picked up some lunch and a Starbucks and went home for the rest of the day.  I heard from both girls just briefly and hubby and I had a good day at home.  I did some reading and while we watched TV I worked on the mask straps.

So that was my Easter weekend. It was different than normal, but Jesus is still risen from the grave and this quarantine stuff does not change that truth.  It all comes down to a choice and I choose to have Joy!
