Thursday Thunks

Today’s questions are courtesy of Berleen, Kimber & Bud at Thursday Thunks.  The point is to answer several questions of the day, then link up and visit the other bloggers.  It’s a fun way to get to know each other! It’s also a good way to blog when you run out of ideas!  I know, but it DOES happen!  Check it out!

1. We know how creative Berleen is with her terrific tee-shirts and such, so how about you? Do you draw anything or perhaps your name in the sand when you go to the beach?  Ah…not very creative at all, but if I were at the beach I would probably draw my hubs and mine initials in the sand.  Probably.  I don’t do the beach.
2. Kimber doesn’t always leave her house. I wonder if she knows what is out her back door. What is out your back door?  Right now I see, in the dusk, my hubs and three dogs..I also see dirt.  No sod, just dirt.  For now.

 
3. Do you prefer the beach, a pool or a lake? Why?  Oh hands down, a POOL.

4. What is something recently that happened to you that you are REALLY excited about?  I received a beautiful apron and goodies from a sweet gal in an apron swap.

5. I am fortunate that I come from a very close family. Are any of your great-grandparents still alive? If not did you ever meet them?  My paternal great grandparents passed away when i was little, but I do barely remember them..My maternal great grandparents passed away many years before I was born..

6. When was the last time you spoke in front of a large group? Tell us about it.  Gosh must have been when I worked at a high school in the counseling office and was hosting a conference.  Long time ago, maybe 10 years!
7. Have you ever bungee jumped? Would you ever bungee jump? No, and No!
8. How strong emotionally do you think you are?  Not very..being honest here.
9. Kimber and Berleen still have NEVER met, yet they are best friends. What is the first thing you notice about people when you meet them?  I would guess their eyes.  You can tell a lot about someone from their eyes.

10. Who do you mess with the most?  My husband, we give each other a really bad time sometimes.  We are each others best friends after nearly 34 years of marriage!

11. Who was the last person you talked to on a landline?  My mom

12. I finally saw Avatar this week. What was the last movie you watched long after it came out and loved?  Oh I don’t remember..we don’t do movies very often.
13. What did you dream about last night?  I don’t usually remember my dreams, I have no clue!

  3. Great post...So much good stuff, can't remember what to comment on.LOL. Would love that pool. Your apron swap must be fun. Your Mom looks really sweet. Loved seeing your wedding photo. Weren't we babies when we got married? Love it when you say your husband is your best friend, and that you would draw your initials in the sand. That is so important. That sweet dreams pillow gave me an idea.
