1. The sweetness of summer...where have you found it recently? If you're in the Southern hemisphere, feel free to find some sweetness in your winter.
Well, I have enjoyed the sweetness of blueberries and finally the North Carolina cantaloups are coming in! But the true sweetness in our lives comes from our precious girls
Doodle Bug and Birdie
along with their very sweet momma!
2. Take your sweet time, sweet tooth, home sweet home, short but sweet, the sweet smell of success, sweet talk...choose a sweet idiom and tell us how it fits your life currently? I suppose it would be"take your sweet time" there certainly isn't any reason in our lives to rush ...enjoy each day and smell the roses along the way!
3. Sweet as honey, sweet as sugar, or sweet as pie, which phrase do you use when a sweet phrase is called for? What's the last sweet treat you indulged in? I have been more known for actually saying sweet as pie especially would speaking of our sweeties!!! The last sweet treat I enjoyed was last night when I ate my daiy allotment of vanilla wafers (9). I do suffer from a sweet tooth.. and I love to let vanilla wafers just melt on my tongue...just enough sweetness!
4. First thing that comes to mind when you hear the word fidget? OH, my, it brings back memories of 17 years ago when I taught 3rd and 4th grade... oh, yes, 8 and 9 year olds certainly know about fidgeting! After 30 years of their company, I'd say fidgeting was one of their mastered activities!
5. Share with us one of your favorite childhood travel memories.I love my family, we didnt have everything , but we had waht we needed. ..and my mother sacreificed to make sure we ahd a nice piano and paino lessons for me.. Music was very important to her. Well, going on family vacations was very important to daddy. When I was in the fourth grade and began studying history, we drove to Richmond, on to Williamsburg and Jamestown then on to Washington, DC. It was a whirlwind, but it was amazing.
The next year we drove all the way down the Parkway to the Smokey's. We stopped at lookout and venues along the parkway, I have fun photos of log cabins, picnic grounds, with amazing views, and one of my very favorite memories was when daddy walked me from our hotel in Gatlinburg across the street to the pancake house where I bought breakfast for all three of us and we carried it back to the hotel and served mama in bed. She was so surprised.. She thought we were just letting her sleep in!. I was very proud of myself.
6. Insert your own random thought here.I am thinking to make my daughter's birthday cake when they come.. I know she loves strawberries s I am thinking perhaps a Victoria Sponge cake with strawberries!
I enjoy Nilla Wafers every now and then. (the Nabisco kind) I've also enjoyed some blueberries from our bushes, and am sad that they're gone.
ReplyDeleteYour childhood travel memories were sweet. It sounds like you are blessed.

The girls are adorable. Vanilla Wafers are a favorite of my husbands. Those are lovely memories you have from traveling when you were younger. That sponge cake and strawberries looks delicious!
