Harvest of Friends Blog Party!!

Lynnette over at Dancing Barefoot on Weathered Ground is hosting a Harvest of Friends Blog Party! It's such a cool way to get to know your bloggy friends better and also to make new friends! Be sure to head over and participate.

If it's your first time here, I'd like to welcome you! I love making new friends, so please take a look around and leave me a comment so I know you were here. The About Me section in my right sidebar tells you my basic get-to-know-you info.

Lynnette made up 20 random questions for us to answer to help you get to know us better. I took some of them out because I just couldn't think of an answer...even after asking my hubby.

1. What is your favorite thing to snack on while you're blogging?  peanut butter & dark chocolate or chips & cheese

2. What is one thing you wouldn't want to live without?  my dishwasher

3. Beach, Mountains or Farm? Where would you live if you had a choice? mountains, I guess. I like being close to my family, so I don't want to move.

4. What's your least favorite chore/household duty? cleaning the bathtub! Gross!

5. Prefer parties and socializing or staying at home with the fam? well, getting together with our families (not sure which that would be)

6. Do you sleep in your make up or remove it like a good girl every night? sleep in it...wash it off every morning in the shower.

7. Do you have a hidden talent or a deep desire to learn something that you've never had a chance to learn? What is it? I'd love to learn to crochet and play the cello. Yes, my hubby is a violin teacher and can teach/play all stringed instruments and I have only had 3 or 4 cello lessons since we got married last year...maybe when we're old and retired I'll get my cello lessons. ha!

8. What first attracted you to your spouse? I don't really know. I just always knew he was the guy I was going to marry.

9. What is something you love to smell? cinnamon

10. When you have extra money (HA!) what's the first thing you think to do with it? give it to our neighbors whose 16 year-old son has Crohn's Disease and they need money to fly to Utah to see a specialist.

11. Are you a silent laugher or a loud laugher? What makes you laugh the hardest? usually not really loud unless we're at home and i'm laughing at my crazy hubby. he makes me laugh the hardest.

12. Where is your favorite place to shop? Hobby Lobby

13. What's one thing you'd do more often if you had more time? read

14. Are you a big spender or frugal? frugal

15. Would you want to be famous? no

Today I would like to remember my dear Granny (mom's mom) who finished her race here on earth two years ago today. She was (and still is) very special to me, and such an example of a godly woman.

She asked probably six months before she passed away if I would be with her when she died. I promised her that I would do my best since I lived six hours away from her. I praise the Lord that He granted that desire and allowed me the privilege of being with her as she entered Heaven.

I love you, Granny and miss you terribly!
