A Birthday Hodge Podge


1. When did you last sing happy birthday to someone? When were you last sung to? Does that embarrass you or do you enjoy being the center of attention on your special day?
At a Home Bound Ministry luncheon a few months ago, we sang to all the ones who had Birthdays that month...............In May, someone always sings to me in person or on the phone...................I don't mind at all, I appreciate it when someone does something nice for me.

2.  Name a famous or 'infamous' person (living or deceased) who shares your birth day and month. Is that someone you'd like to meet in person if it were possible?
Google has a whole list but the only one I really recognize is Audrey Hepburn.....................I'm not really into meeting famous people.

3. Someone hands you a box tied up in a lovely bow...what are you hoping to find inside?
Jewelry, if its a small box.

4. What can you guarantee about yourself?
I can guarantee I'll never climb a mountain or jump from an airplane.

5. Talking art and beautiful cities here...'The Last Supper' in the Santa Maria della Grazie Abbey in Milan Italy or 'The Mona Lisa' in The Louvre, Paris...which would you most like to see up close and in person?  Why?
Neither really appeal to me.....I'd rather visit America's National Parks

6. Your favorite dessert
key Lime Pie

7. This coming weekend marks the official start of autumn (in the Northern hemisphere)...what is something you do to get ready for fall? What is one thing you're looking forward to on your fall calendar? Spring or fall-which do you prefer?
I decorate the house with Fall colors and accessories.......................Cooler weather, less mosquitoes and vacation...................Fall, is my favorite season, I just wish it lasted about 6 months.

8.  Insert your own random thought here.
My schedule has been so full lately that I've not been into blogging but I do miss everyone.............I'm taking a 6 week Stamping class and having so much fun with it.........My club had their annual Cultural Arts contest yesterday. My Favorite Things quilt won first place as did my photo of the courthouse in Rhea County Tennessee...................Its been a little cooler at times and it is definitely feeling like Fall............our favorite college football team has won its first 3 games...............we got a flat screen TV (first for us)..........Honey Bear and I canned apples.................I've been eating way too much! 
What's happening in your World?

Monday Quiz About Me

1. September is Better Breakfast month - if time, money, calories etc. were no object, what would you have for breakfast?
Probably, the same as now since I like simple breakfasts.

2. How often do you do a major clean out?
If you're talking about closets, I try to do that with the changing season.......the rest: not often enough.

3. What makes you feel appreciated?
Words, mostly but I like receiving cards and flowers, too.

4. If you had the choice, would you employ someone to help around your home/life?  Maid, Nanny, Cook, Butler or some other form of help?

I have someone who comes in to clean every two weeks.....sometimes, I'd like a general handy man, however, I believe that would be an insult Honey Bear as he is supposed to do those jobs......still, it would be nice to have someone to give a to do list and have them done when I want them done.


My Question: Have you bought any Christmas gifts yet?

Stop by and visit with Heather and Wayne and see how to play along.
