While visiting Diana she mentioned she had not done this in a long time so she knew many of  the 'old' bloggers would remember this. So here we go:

1. Where do you like to vacation? Anywhere! I love the USA so it is always my first choice for travel. If I could have a vacation place in Florida in the winter and Maine in the Fall I would be so happy.

2. Do you have pets? Yes! A very obnoxious cat, Tiger a/k/a Mister Kitty. I have two female long haired chi's Lulu and her daughter Mollie. Rebekah and Zach have two brothers, also long haired chi's Loki and Thor.  They need a role model so of course, that is Leo, who weighs in around 98 to 100 lbs. He is the keeper of the kids!

3. What is your favorite color? I love blues and greens. But I also love pink and purple in various shades. If talking wardrobe, I like neutrals like brown and black because they go with everything. Also gray and denim. I love clothes and comfy shoes.

6. What is your most favorite thing to do?  I love to be with my phamily. I particularly love to spend quality time with my husband as he still works full time. I love tea parties so I enjoy those whether I have one person to share tea with or a housefull. I love to read and study my bible daily.  I collect way too many things and even at my age, I doubt that will ever change.

7. If money were no object what would you like to do when you retire? I am retired, I was forced into it when I lost a job I thought I would retire from. But if I had the money I would love to travel with my husband. It is a dream I have had for a long time.

8. What is your favorite season? I love Fall best of all but I also love Springtime.

Also an old book called "The Clothesline".

I hope you will join in this fun!It is fun and a real blessing in this journey my phamily is on. If you know us, you know our youngest son Nick, who turns 29 this August, was hospitalized with severe anemia. He has an amazing specialist, who already ruled out leukemia but if you can please pray. If you would, humor me here . Please know already how loved and appreciated each and everyone of you are. 

Thanks Diana for this fun reminder, it is good to just sit back and enjoy in the times when we feel frustrated, sad, unhappy, or miserable. It is better then saying "Calgon , take me away!" 

More Health Issues

 Our grandson informed everyone that Jacey was at urgent care, heading to a hospital to have her appendix removed.

We appreciate all your prayers and support for Nick and if you would pray for Jacey we would be so grateful. Also please pray for Andrea's husband, she commented to me at my blog that they believe her husband has prostrate cancer but the specialist is not returning their calls. Thank you.

When Satan attacks, we need to continue to glorify God. While we wait for Nick's results and he sees his specialist. While Jacey has surgery and heals and while our blogging friend Andrea's husband waits for results, we need to pray and continue to pray and pray harder.

Grateful for all of you and all your kindness and prayers.

Thank you.

Aw...Mondays

 Aw...Mondays

I saw this Pink House Cafe at Pinterest. It was posted in a blog post back in 2009.by a blogger turkeyfeather.typepad.com THe blogger shared the inside of this lovely cottage. She also said the food was delicious. Although this is very sweet, I always wished that I could purchase my Tata Rose's cottage, move it and redecorate it. sigh..... This sweet little cafe is quite well kept. According to their website  Pink House Cafe is located in Indepedence, Oregon.It would be worthwhile to visit this place if you live nearby and tour the lower level.

Love is...makes me smile. I am not a tent kind of camper but this was too cute not to share. 

A flashback from Jeremy & Brittany's wedding in 2016. Our anniversaries are 3 days apart.

Pinterest is loaded with pretty pinks and I love this Hello May share. I hope you're new week is wonderful.
