1. What do you never get tired of? baby giggles and children laughing . . .actually, I never get tired of laughing either!
2. My mother made the best
homemade vegetable soup. Of course, I have a story! I was probably in junior high and I came home and my mom's pressure cooker had exploded WHILE she was making vegetable beef soup. Just let me say that there were bits and pieces of things ON THE CEILING! No major damage was done that I recall.
3. What machine or appliance in your home aggravates you the
most? Why? I tend to be really tough on washing machines. Our washer makes a few odd noises! It is NOT old. I try not to overload it.
4. What are three things that brighten up your day when they
happen? 1. Sunshine! 2. A sincere compliment from someone (this also embarrasses me) 3. The feeling that I've accomplished something
I know you just asked for 3 but also good times with family and friends have to be included!!
5. Thursday (May 12) is National Limerick Day...write a
limerick about relating to spring weather, spring blooms, or a spring event
(five lines, the first two lines rhyme with the fifth line, the third and
fourth lines rhyme together)
I googled spring limericks – I just don’t have it in me! I’m
giving credit where credit is due. It was written by Reason A. Poteet and the title is Spring Chicken. Our son has chickens and our daughter’s
school has chickens so this made me think of them. (disclaimer regarding my
google search – the limerick right below this one was a tad off color 😊)

There was a spring chicken named Brewster.
He was the school’s number one booster,
but this spring
he forward-sprang
from the girls’
room overhang.
Now he’s called - the naughty old rooster.
6. Insert your own random thought here. For my Mother’s
Day present to myself, I signed up for Ancestry.com. I followed several blogs
during the April A to Z Blogging Challenge who wrote about their ancestry. I have
my 23 and me results but wanted a little bit more! Let me just tell you that I
could go down some deep rabbit holes. I am FASCINATED by what I am finding. My
parents and grandparents have been dead so long and looking at the record of
their marriage license and the census records makes them come alive again for
just a few moments.
