Welcome to Sunday Stealing. Our host steals all types of
questions from every corner of the blogosphere. Cheers to all of us thieves!
Once upon a time, in a blogosphere far, far away, there was
a popular meme called Thursday
Thunks. Alas, the thunking stopped back in 2011.
Thursday Thunks
1. Is there anyone whose home you enter without knocking?
Does anyone (who doesn't live with you) have permission to enter your home
without knocking?
We used to enter Mark's mother's house without knocking. We would unlock the door and start in, but we would call out that we were there. Our kids enter our house without knocking. On Tuesday night, we have an open door policy for the young professionals. They just walk right on in.
2. Tell us about a school trip you took.
Y'all - school was a long long time ago! I only remember going on one field trip and it was to the planetarium. I was a chaperone on many trips with our kids - everything from a potato chip factory - we received chips while still warm - to Alabama Old Town and the capital in Montgomery. We went to a water treatment plant once - that was unusual!
3. Name three things within arm's reach right now (but they
can't relate to your phone, computer or laptop).
My big cup of water is within reach, as is my purse, and a container of Orbit gum.
4. Weather permitting, do you dry your clothes outdoors on a
clothesline?
I do not. I have horrible allergies and right now, in Alabama, the pollen falls and covers everything within a short span of time. As I am typing this on Friday afternoon, our dryer is running behind me and it has been running a large portion of today! I do remember my mama drying clothes on our clothesline when I was growing up!
5. If every flower in the world only bloomed in one color,
what color would you like to see?
My immediate response is pink, because I love pink -- but I also love yellow flowers!
Thank you for playing! Please come back next week.
Our daughter was away at college, and she just came in last night. She'll leave today, graduate on Saturday, and we'll haul all the rest of the stuff home next weeknd.
ReplyDeleteInteresting questions and answers!! When I host my small group from church, they just walk in. When Joe died, I started locking the storm door because neighbors knew they could knock and walk on in. Now I don't want to be surprised by someone (especially if I'm in the bathroom!)! I grew up in a small town where no one locked doors and car keys were usually in the car. Sad that we can't do that today.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny how this meme made me think of my mom a lot today. Especially because I never stopped thinking of her home as my home, so I would just enter. (Though as she got older, I always rang the bell because I didn't want to startle her.)
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on the pollen on clothes. It's a wonder I lived to adulthood with my allergies.
ReplyDeleteWhen I host my ladies small group/book group from church, they walk in and in the winter I then close the garage door once everyone is here as it gets cold in the kitchen.
ReplyDeleteUp here in NYS we are starting to get pollen everywhere and I don't have a clothesline but i do put out the drying rack in late summer/early autumn to dry hiking clothes and cotton or rayon shirts as I like the fresh air scent.
I enjoyed your field trip response!
How interesting about the "knock or don't knock" question. Initially, I was appalled at the thought of someone (besides a first responder) just walking in ... but no. Sometimes it makes sense. Southern Hospitality, right?
ReplyDeleteI don't remember taking many field trips when I was in school, but we do 2 per school year at the primary school. When I was at the elementary, I only remember going at the end of the year, but that may have changed. We may not have any next school year of gas prices do not come down.
ReplyDeleteI can't do the laundry line either due to pollen.

I love pink too. :-)
ReplyDeleteDaffodils and daisies were our wedding flowers. Yellow and white were our colors.
