2. Something you remember from a 'simpler time'?
Simpler times were when we were perfectly content with what we had, and never thought to compare what we didn't have with others. When I was a child in the 50's, there was no economic difference in our village - we were all poor but didn't know it. We enjoyed simple things such as playing outside all day, playing games and reading at night, going on picnics and spending time with friends. We were creative and enjoyed meals around the table every night. Simple, but quality times.
3. Do you like squash? If so what's your favorite variety? What's a favorite way to prepare squash?
Yes, I do like squash and prefer yellow and zucchini smothered with onions.
4. Do you shop the warehouse stores (such as Costco, Sam's B.J's, etc)? If so how often do you go, and what's something you always buy in this type of store?
We have become so spoiled since moving to Plano, TX. There is a Costco less than two miles from our house and a Sam's about 15 minutes away. We go to Costco as often as we think of something we need or want. We also use the pharmacy there, so that gives us plenty of excuses to visit.
There are specific things we get at each warehouse store such as individually packaged chicken breast and meat patties at Sam's. Costco has the best chicken salad, Trail Mix, fresh veggies and fruit, plus a variety of frozen prepared veggies. Also, we get our organic eggs there, and the list goes on.
5. Father's Day is this coming Sunday. Any plans to make the day special? Tell us something about your own father, or something about your hubs as a father, or about someone who stepped into your life and acted as a father if yours was not a part of your life.
We may go to our daughter's for lunch after church, but no other plans than to just enjoy the day together.
My dad was a "gentle giant" and a prince of a godly man. He was our hero in every respect and still is, not only to my sister and me but to all his grandchildren as well. I am also so grateful for my children's father who has been a godly influence and leader in our family.
Happy Heavenly Father's Day, Daddy!

2. Last time you were instructed to 'say cheese!'? How do you feel about having your picture taken?
The picture above was the last time I had my picture taken. I don't mind saying "cheese" as long as I am prepared. Otherwise, I get something like this:
3. What's your travel packing strategy? Are you typically a light packer or do you throw in everything but the kitchen sink? When flying do you check a bag or aim for carry on only?
Of course it all depends on where, when and how. When we drive to Indiana or a vacation trip, we take whatever we feel might be required for the season. When we fly, we have to limit the amount because we always check package for both of us, plus carry-ons.
4. What is it about people's cell phone habits that you find most annoying?
Using an earbud and carrying on a conversation with an invisible person in public. I find this so extremely irritating not to mention rude.
5. What will be your summer mantra/slogan?
Stay inside and as cool as possible!
6. Insert your own random thought here.
A lot has happened in the last month and especially in the past week or so, but I guess I need to just do a specific blog on all that. For today, I'll show you what happened last week to our church during one of the huge storms to go through North Central Texas that caused several deaths, huge power outages and millions of dollars in clean-up.
We live less than a mile from our church and personally experienced what I call "the first unnamed hurricane of the season". We had winds over 100 mph and rain and lightening like I've never seen in an actual hurricane. And I'm from Louisiana! Thankfully, we did not experience any damage at our house, but trees were damaged all over the area.
Yesterday, work started on the massive job of replacing the whole western exterior wall of our worship center. It will take a couple weeks to complete plus doing all the interior work due to heavy rain damage. In the meantime, we continue to get daily rains.
I would not want this job!Labels

Thank you for visiting my blog. I live in Plano, Texas where my husband and I are very involved in being happy senior adults. You will find that my blog reflects our lives and activities as well as the goings-on of our two grown children and ten grandchildren. There may even be something the Lord leads me to compose and share. Needless to say, we stay busy and sharing our busyness with you makes me happy. I do hope you will stop by and share a cup of tea with me often.
Stay Connected!
