Around the House
1. Do you have pets ? What kind of pets do you have? Photos?
I have always been a cat person.. I had a beautiful white kitten as a little girl, named Snowball, then my first boyfriend gave me another beautiful male white cat which together we named Sean Connery, and then of Amanda we had a gorgeous male Tabby with white socks..

2. Do you have a weekly menu you plan out? Would you share it with us, or perhaps a short list of meals you make often? It gives other people ideas !
My short list would included:
1)Roasted pork loin, rice and peas (Amanda's favorite)
2)Chef salad with fried chicken strips on top, bleu cheese dressing
3)Braised boneless pork strips then broiled with BBQ sauce to sort of blacken them up, Boiled Yukon gold potatoes with peas, tossed salad
4) Boiled Gulf shrimp from the grocer refrigerated, cocktail sauce, cole slaw, french fries
5) Deconstructed taco salad using nacho chips, cheese, meat, and shredded lettuce, tomato,
3.Where do you do your grocery shopping? Do you like that store or do you go to others to fill in the gaps?
Our regular store is Kroger

But we also shop

4. What kind of house do you live in or is it an apartment. Describe it. What changes would you make to it if you could?
We live in what is called an English Tudor, but it doesn't have all the English bells and whistles.. but does have an English mantel and beautiful huge wide plank front door.
Imagine stucco and timber effect on the yellow and your get an idea of how it ought to look, but the thickly stuccoed inside walls are very English and my anglophile temperament loves our little English home. But the older I get the stairs become more and more difficult. We have a friend who is a realtor and we are speaking to him to be on the look out for us for a nice patio home!

ReplyDeleteTHank so much for your encouraging comment!!..We want to speak to a realtor about finding us just waht we are looking for but taht is always contigent on having our home ready to sell.. and it just isnt there yet.. so I need to continue my knee therapy! It does help!
DeleteYour home is beautiful! Stairs can be good exercise for arthritis or bad news. I hope you find it gets better for you. It's awful to hurt. I have always liked homes with a chimney on the front like yours. My aunt and uncle had that on their home when I was a child and I loved their home with a passion!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for joining in and making the first new Tuesday 4 a success.
THank you so much for carrying Toni's torch .. praying it all gives you a blessing and doesnt become overwhelming.. Your new page for it is lovely and I love your new header on your own page!
DeleteThat menu sounds fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI love your house, it is beautiful. We have a single story, so I am glad for that. I have to climb stairs at work, and it is horrible on my hips.
Your kitty is precious! Loved your answers. Have a nice week.

I tore my meniscues last fall and had knee therapy which really helped. I ened to get back into it becsue it made the stairs much more manageable!
ReplyDeleteSchotzy, I replied to your comment on my blog just now, but I didn't know if you'd see it or not. Look up Julia Bettencourt. Her site is where I get a lot of my ministry ideas from. Right now I'm working on "It's About Time!" I keep getting a check down in my spirit about how short time really is and how we need to be about the Father's work. It's been years since I focused my attention on ministry goals and it's time to jump in with both feet! I'll be praying for you as you seek the Lord's will, wisdom, and direction in every area and, if you don't mind, can you email me your mailing address, please? You can send it to: proverbs31heart@yahoo.com. Thanks! And blessings for a happy, healthy, and prosperous new year! <3
