As I'm writing this on Fat Tuesday, the Mardi Gras scene above will be scattered all over cities, small towns, and villages across my home state, Louisiana. Everything closes down to allow thousands of people to participate in these parades. You will hear "throw me something, Mister" all across the state.
2. Pancakes...are you a fan? Syrup or no syrup? Plain, blueberries, chocolate chips, bananas, or some other add-in? Are pancakes on your menu this week?
I love pancakes. Am I a fan of syrup with my pancakes? I prefer to explain that I love pancakes with my syrup. And, make it warm maple syrup, please. Who eats dry pancakes? I don't mind bananas and nuts on my pancakes. They will not be on my menu this week unless Hubby decides to take me out for brunch one morning.
3. Tell us about a time recently when you felt 'spread too thin'.
Thankfully, there hasn't been a time such as this recently.
4. What's your favorite jewel or gemstone? In terms of your wardrobe, would we find more gem tones, pastels, black and white, or primary colors?
My favorite stone is topaz, as it is my birthstone. My favorite piece of jewelry, besides my wedding ring, is a lovely topaz ring I designed and purchased in Haifa, Israel, in 1972. In my closet, you will find predominantly black and browns as well as orange and orangey reds.
5. What responsibility do you think is hardest about being in charge?
Making sure everyone involved sees things the way I do. LOL!
6. Insert your own random thought here.
Christmas '25, I purchased the most comfortable walking shoes I have ever worn.
I bought them while visiting our family in Indiana. I had never heard of the brand and have not found them in the DFW metroplex. Diadora is an Italian sportswear and footwear company. While in Indiana this year, I purchased a second pair. I highly recommend this brand if you are in the market for a comfortable and supportive pair of shoes.
Mardi Gras sounds like fun! I have just learned today that Mardi Gras is French for Fat Tuesday, that will be why here in the UK is was Pancake Day yesterday! We had plenty yesterday and I was the same, pancakes with my syrup! hehehe
ReplyDeleteThose walking shoes do look comfy, I know the Diadora brand, they are quite popular here.
I did n.ot grow up celebrating Lent. My Bible Study Group and I have decided to participate this year. Have never heard of the Diadora brand, but they do look comfy
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't want to be the one cleaning up after all those parades. LOL. :) I'm familiar with Diadora in the world of soccer. I'll have to check and see if our area has that brand of shoes. I just bought a pair of Dansko that are working great for me. Hope a brunch date happens for you!
ReplyDeleteI enjoy pancakes more often when eating out than at home. A nice brunch this week would be a great excuse for pancakes. It is hard to get real maple syrup when you are out though. Enjoyed your answers this afternoon...happy Wednesday to you!
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of the brand, but am always in the market for comfy tennis shoes. Brunch is my favorite so I hope that happens for you. I have a beautiful topaz that was hubs grandmother's. He had it made into a ring for me, but later we had a jeweler change it to a slide for my Omega chain and I love it. Have a nice week!
ReplyDeleteYour answer for the first question was very interesting. Yes, syrup is definitely delicious on pancakes. How nice that you love your topaz ring. I like your answer for being in charge. Thanks for sharing that on the shoes. You take care.
