Stolen from Friday Five

1) What is your favorite thing about winter?I love 

the cosines of sitting curled up in my chair by the 

fire reading a good book or listening to music.  I 

particular love listening to carols, yes, even after 

the big day!

2) What is your favorite winter sport?

Well, my days of participating are over, but I love 

to watch ice skating and skiing competitions!

3) What is the best winter treat?

 For me it is a wonderful homemade soup that 

has been simmering in the crock pot with fresh 

baked bread for dipping.  So yummy and warm.

4) What is the earliest time in the year it ever 

snowed where you live? We have had snow on 

Thanksgiving Day. 

5) What is the best way to stay warm in the winter?

I many times will where my silk long underwear under 

my slacks and sweater or under my pjs at night. 

 I enjoy being cosy warm! 

6) What are your favorite things that are paper?

  A great book, stationary upon which to write a 

friendly letter, a song book to sing from, wrapping 

paper to send a special gift in, to name a few. 

7) What are your favorite things that are cotton?

I love cotton sweaters,   Or at least cotton blend. 

 Wool ones can be difficult with moths etc, and 

they can be itchy I prefer cotton Glen items like 

sheets and table cloths..  I detest ironing. I love soft 

cottony Turkish towels, 

8) What are your favorite things that are leather?

I love leather purses, and belts,  hard leather shoes 

are difficult for me now because of bad feet,

 so .I mainly wear canvas shoes… sad to say. 

9) What are your favorite things that are floral

I love floral paintings, nice artificial flowers for 

creating realistic arrangements, floral scents for 

perfumes and candles, not too strong, but just right!

10) What are your favorite things that are wood? 

Tables, chairs, other and all types of furniture. I 

still love my wood hutch etc that designers tell us 

are passe’ .  Not to me., I really  enjoy styling my 

hutch and other wooden furniture pieces. I love 

trays and charcuterie boards in wood.  I use my 

mother’s wooden dough board in my table during 

the year. 

11) If you think your house is haunted, what should 

you do? It may be for all I know. I’ve been told 

some died in our home years before we bought 

it. It is such a wonderful home it never bothers 

me if anyone wishes to pass through it occasion-. 

ally Not that I really believe in such, but who knows.?

  I know my mother told us that while dad drove up 

to college to pick me up when hubs mother passed,

  he was in the military and the Red Cross was 

flying him home.  Mom was taking a shower and 

her a voice in the house. It was Lynn’s mother 

beseeching mom to look after her children. Mom 

actually stepped out of the shower when she 

heard the voice and it continued talking to her. 

Mom was a very rational and sensible Christian 

woman, but she knew it was Lynn’s  mom and 

she was not afraid! 

12) When should you investigate a strange noise 

in your basement?

I hear strange noises all the time. Our home is 

78:years old. It makes many noises, and especially 

our gas furnace. I’ve gotten used to them. I 

wouldn’t  be happy if I heard glass breaking. 

Then I’d call the police. 

13) How do you know if an abandoned building is 

safe to visit?

Why would I?

14) How do you decide whether to solve a problem 

as a team, or split up and go it  alone? Teamwork 

is always best!

15) Where do you store your knives and where 

would you look if one was missing? In the kitchen,

 and in the kitchen!
