Sunday Stealing

Linking up with Bev - she finds the questions each week and we answer. She stole these questions from Ned the Duck!

Name Your Favorite…

Place: I can be happy anywhere with our family - those times when both kids and their families are with me and Mark. In reality, I have a lot of favorite places - Orange Beach, Ireland, Israel all come to mind and I hope to have more favorite places in the years to come.
Color: Pink is my first choice but there is also a shade of green that I love. I also love orange and red! I'm not very good at pinpointing just one!
Smell: old books! You know - like in the library when I was growing up! Also, there is nothing so sweet smelling as a freshly bathed baby. The diaper our two year old granddaughter woke up with this morning was NOT my favorite smell!
Magazine: Garden and Gun - we love that magazine. The photography is beautiful and the articles are well written.
Texture: I'm weird about texture in food. The first thing that comes to mind is the silky softness of our granddog, Riley's ears. She is a german shorthair and her ears are the smoothest texture and she loves for us to rub them. She is getting to be an old lady. My son texted this picture to me thi week.

Thing to do when bored: One time I was snowed in at a friend's mother's house. Let me tell you that it is rare to get snowed in anywhere in Alabama but it does happen every 10-20 years. She told me that she didn't think anyone should ever say they are bored because there is always something to do. She taught me to polish silver that day! I love to read and I like to ride my recumbent bike and both of those combat boredom if done together! I can always clean out something or organize something - check out my junk drawer post from yesterday.
Precious stone: I love diamonds. Aren't they a girl's best friend?
Animal: Harvey cat!

Time in history: The one I'm living right now! Does that count? It will be history tomorrow, right
Font: I'm horrible at picking out fonts. I use cambria a lot.
Sound: I love to hear a baby laugh - the kind where you can't help but laugh along!
Fruit: I love almost all fruit! I really love strawberries and blueberries and bananas and a good ripe watermelon! I love Alabama - Chilton County - peaches!
Vegetable: I also love most veggies - but nothing beats an Alabama tomato grown on Sand Mountain. Sometimes I will eat a tomato for breakfast, lunch, and dinner during the summer.
Store/shop: According to my shopping habits over the last 20 months or so, it would have to be Amazon! I love our Super Target. I buy most of my clothes at Talbots and Chico.
Quote: I'll have to give this some thought.
Historical figure: I'll give the Sunday School answer - Jesus.
Letter: Are you asking what letter of the alphabet I like the most? I just read this a few moments ago -- Q because it is oval and has a curly tail hahahaha!
Memory: I can't do just one. I remember the day we married and the day our twins were born and the day our son married and the day our daughter married. All of those days are extra special. Our recent trip to Ireland has given us lots of new wonderful memories.
Dessert: I don't eat sugar anymore but if I did . . .there are a few things I love. One is German Chocolate Cake made by my mother-in-law's recipe. I made it this week for our son and daughter-in-law's birthday.   

Candy: see above - I don't eat sugar anymore but if I did - Reese Christmas trees or Reese Pumpkins -- I love Reese cups and the holiday shapes are the perfect ratio of chocolate to peanut butter.
Restaurant: I love Hot and Hot here in Birmingham. It is definitely in my top 3.
Language: English! Or maybe I should say - my love language is words of affirmation.
Thing to learn about: I love learning about other countries. We have a trip planned for June - Italy, Germany, and Austria. I'm so excited. We are also planning another Israel trip in February of 2023.
Thing about yourself: I love my eyes and I love my smile.

What would be your answer to some or all of these questions?
