A Fun Set of Questions

I had absolutely no intention of posting today. 

I need to get busy with housework, but I love my blogs, so after my time with the Lord, I popped in over at Nanaland, where Arlene posts most everyday. I love her!

And what does she do, but inspire me to post. 

Here are a set of questions she found at Magnolias and Grace, another blog to read later today.

I couldn't resist. I am going to answer those questions to. How fun! Join in everyone. If you don't have a blog pick a question or two and answer it in the comments.

Question #1

What is your favorite era from the past and why?

Hmmm... I like the 1950's. When I was young, I loved reading about that time. The people, the clothes, the cars, the people who really worked hard to make this country great after WWII and the Korean War.

Question #2

What season is your favorite?

I like early summer. I love summer because it is more relaxed than the other seasons. It just speaks of enjoying long days of sunshine. I like the early part of it before it gets too awful hot.

Question #3

What type of food do you like most? --Italian, Chinese, Mexican, Southern, etc.

I would probably say Southern cooking the most. I do love Italian though. Oh, and around our parts, we love Thai, not to be confused at all with Chinese. It is very different.

Question #4

Your favorite book is...?

Oh, this is really hard. I have tons favorites, so I am really picking, but note that there could be a top ten that would better suit me.

I really like Fannie Flagg's book, Standing in the Rainbow. You might need to read Welcome to World, Baby Girl to know all the characters though.

Since I taught school for 31 years, I am going to tell you a children's book I love too. I used this book in grades 3-5. It is Love, Ruby Lavender by Deborah Wiles. I adored this book for so many reasons.  BTW, you are never too old to read children's books.

Question #5

Do you prefer indoors or out?

I would just love to tell you I am an outdoor girl, but the truth is I am an indoor girl. I love to keep house, sew, read, and putter around inside. There is no doubt that a day in the sunshine can improve your spirit though.

Question #6

Who is the wisest person you have ever known?

That would be my great granddaddy on my mother's mother's side. He was 95 when he passed away, but I sat at his knee and observed a Godly man live out life the way it is supposed to be done. He taught me many lessons that have served me well without ever saying a word, just by watching him.

Question #7

What was the most important or memorable day in your life?

The most important was the day I asked Jesus into my life. I am so grateful to know Him!

Question #8

Your favorite season to decorate for...

Christmas is number 1.

However it would be followed by back to school, if that could be a holiday:)

Question #9

Do you have a life verse? 

Oh yes, Proverbs 16:9

The mind of man plans his way, but the Lord directs His steps. 

You can read more about that here.

Question #10

Share one thing that is nostalgic to you.

This one is hard too. You have too many things as you get older. I have a section in my china cabinet that holds some really sentimental items for me. I guess maybe the most precious item in there is a red plastic rose that was given to me by my dad on my last visit with him in the hospital before he passed away. 

I really enjoyed this... Join in and share something as well.

I am off to be productive in the house cleaning today,
