Tired again. I just couldn't get in the mood to answer so many questions. I only wanted to wish everyone a blessed Sunday. I've turned off the comments this time so we can all relax.
We're off to Church to spend time with dear friends and worship the One Who loves us best. Remember that Jesus LOVE YOU. I pray He will be removing us to His side soon and that "none shall perish". 💝 Have a glorious day friends. Oh, and I hope everyone remembered to adjust their clocks!
🌻 It's a short post this week. We've been busy mowing, cutting and removing old trees, burning leaves, and planting the flowers purchased from County Farm Plants in Baxley.
🧵 1. What (if anything) are you doing to celebrate St Patrick's Day? Steve and I try to celebrate every year as this is our self-designated "anniversary". On March 17th of 1979 we went on our first date and have been together ever since. So, St. Patty's is our First Date Anniversary. Then we officially married in August of that year. I'm not sure what we'll do this year. Haven't really discussed it yet as it will be our 45th.
🧵 2. What is your least favorite color (to wear, to craft with or to decorate with)? I'll have to think about that for a moment because I like almost all colours. Um, I guess my least favorite would be the blue that Toyota picked to paint some of their auto's with. It's too purple for my tastes. I believe it's called Blue Crush Metallic. Not a fan.
🧵 3. At a yellow light - do you speed up or slow down?? Usually slow down to stop. Don't want to run a red light but it depends on the traffic situation and if there is proper time to do so safely. I try not to ever do things to scare or endanger others but I also do not want to be rear-ended especially on my motorbike. There's too many distracted or doped drivers these days.
🧵 4. How many pairs of scissors are in your craft room? About 5, last count. One of these is Steve's old telephone repair snips he always carried at work. He's a retired Southern Bell employee. He wore those, or ones similar, on his tool belt for 41 years.
🧵 5. What are the first three items you have 'saved for later' on Amazon? None at the moment. I do have some mulling around in my squishy brain though ...
🧵 6. Did you plant any springs bulbs in your garden and if so, have any of them come up yet? Bulbs won't grow in our sandy, porous soil here in Southeast Georgia. We live in a forest of piney woods and scrub oak. When we lived in Jax (Jacksonville, Florida) I grew Amaryllis because the soil was a rich loam. They are lovely in the Spring.
🧵 7. What book, if any, are you reading right now? Finished "Breaking Free" by Beth Moore! Yay. Finally. What a life changing read that's been. Steve's starting on it now, so, I'm betwixt and between at the moment. Got some books on order though.
🧵 8. Do you prefer ball point pens, gel pens, or thin tip markers to write with? Gel pens. I don't have to press down so hard to make it visible.
🧵 9. What is your favorite crafting item - the craft item thing you use the most or can't live without? (Exclude basic items like scissors and glue) It used to be craft paint. I really enjoyed drawing, painting, making things and being creative. I was really into stenciling on walls, doors, outside poles, anything that didn't move. There's too much tremor and arthritis to do that now.
🧵 10. What are the first 3 items on your grocery list and what is your favorite grocery store? Our weekly needs of Jumbo eggs, Half and Half, and Amish Butter. Because we live way out in the country and the closest grocery stores are in a small town, we have to shop at all of them to get all we need and want.
🧵 11. What unfinished craft projects are you working on (or not:) at the moment? There are none at the moment.
🧵 12. What was the last item you pinned on Pinterest? Or hearted on Instagram? I don't use either of them.
🧵 13. What is the biggest tourist attraction where you live? The Okefenokee Swamp near Waycross.
🧵 14. What color is your favorite sweater? A dark creamy brown with little sparkles in it.
🧵 15. How does your family react when you get a big pile of mail? That's kind of an odd question. What can we do but deal with it?! Most end up in the round file anyway. 🚮
🧵 My thoughts:
We had a lovely time at County Farm Plant Company on Friday. We and all the ladies probably bought way too many plants. I have my job set for next week. If it keeps raining (fingers crossed) there should be a profusion of color in the back yard by April. I want to attract lots of wildlife. God's creation is much more entertaining than TV.
After all the plant shopping we all stopped by El Vaquero Mexican Restaurant in Patterson to continue the smiles, laughter and funny stories.
It was a great time all around. More sweet memories have been made and we made sure to thank Jesus for blessing us so!
Have a lovely Sunday. Keep looking up! Jesus is going to gather all of us who believe in Him to His Home soon. ✝️
💓🏍️💓
1. Have you ever smoked cigarettes? Yes, when I was about 16 or 17 (about 1973-ish). Got tired of it, plus it was expensive even then, so, I quit soon after.
2. What do you think of hot dogs? I like the All Beef ones but my favorites are now the Private Selection All Beef Hot Dogs from Kroger. They're so yummy.
3. What do you prefer to drink in the morning? New England Breakfast Blend coffee. Lots of Splenda and Half And Half please!
4. What's your favorite piece of jewelry that you own? My wedding band. Also, always wear an emerald ring. The gold is from the wedding band that was cut from my mother's hand when she passed in 1966. Over 42 years ago, Steve had a local jeweler remake it into a ring with the special emerald he chose. I've worn it nearly every day ever since.
5. Name 3 drinks you regularly drink? Ice water from our deep well, Orange ice tea called Citrus Sunrise by Celestial Seasonings, and coffee.
6. Like to travel? I used to. Not so much anymore. It costs too much. Also, I like where I live. Really don't care to go anywhere else anymore.
7. What should you be doing right now? Since these questions are being completed on Friday, I'm doing it: resting. It's been a busy week. I needed to rest the old bones for a bit before continuing on.
8, Your phone rings. Who do you want it to be? Anyone but one of those scammers. I have blocked so many of them! There aren't as many calls as we once had but they still manage to get through every now and again.
9. Do you like to ride horses? Once Upon A Time I lived to ride but not anymore. I still like horses it's just too much jolting for my neck and shoulders. I much prefer the steel ones now.
10. In a social setting, are you more of a talker or a listener? I like listening to others, to hear their ideas and opinions. When I'm with Steve or my BFF, though, it's a back and forth kind of exchange.
11. What's in your pocket right now? Because it's pollen season here in the South, a hanky and a small tube of Vaseline Lip Gloss. 🤧 I'm using both frequently lately.
12. Last thing that made you laugh? Probably one of those YouTube TicTok videos.
13. How many TVs do you have in your house? Two but mostly use only the one in the Living Room.
14. Who's your loudest friend? Oh, golly, a very dear cousin and friend. I love him but he really needs to come with a volume control.
15. Favorite sports team? (If you don't have one, just state that ...) Not a fan of team anything nor stick and ball sports. I do still enjoy MotoGP, American Superbike and Rally Car Racing. To each his own though, right?! 😃
On that happy note ... I do hope y'all have a blessed Sunday. Keep looking up because Jesus is coming back soon and I'm so grateful.
