Thank you Joyce.

1. Did you watch the Kentucky Derby this past weekend? Have you ever been to a horse race? Ever ridden a horse? Did you enjoy it? Have you ever been to Kentucky? Do you like Bourbon? 

No I did not watch the Kentucky Derby. Yes, I used to go with my dad to horse races in Florida. Yes I have ridden a horse and yes I enjoyed it. Yes I was in Kentucky as a young girl. I don't drink Bourbon and I'm not sure if I remember what it tastes like.

2.  What's something you wish you'd placed in a time capsule fifteen years ago?

How about my smoother skin.  

3. Are you adventurous? Elaborate. 

No, I don't think that I am very adventurous. I have something coming up, that I am doing alone and I'd rather have someone with me. I'll explain another time. It's nothing bad. 

4. Something you want to make this year? It can be a new recipe, craft, diy project, a milestone you've set for yourself...anything at all. 

I haven't given this much thought but probably a craft item. I was given some gifts a few years ago and I should work on them. One is canvas painting, one is a Lego Gingerbread House and one is a Lego set of flowers. 

5. Cinco de Mayo was also celebrated this past weekend...do you like Mexican food? If so what's your favorite dish? Have you ever been to Mexico?  Margarita-yes or no?

Yes, I like Mexican food. My favorite dish is probably cheese enchiladas. Yes, I'll take a Margarita please!

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

Last Friday when we picked up James from school he said his dad said we were bringing him a present. According to Adam he never said that to James. Later that evening he was saying how he wanted a double decker bus. Adam said he has been watching a show about them. 

So I went on Amazon and sent him a double decker bus from Hot Wheels which arrived on Sunday. He didn't know about it. Then Adam sent me this photo saying that James was so excited about getting it.

Too cute about the bus! He knew who to mention it to lol. I am going to look for a lego gingerbread house for the boys. They are really into the legos now. Have a great day Debby!

Smoother skin ... I would sign up for that!
James is adorable. What a sweet smile.
Blessings. 💙

me too on the skin thing, I would also put a note in there to stop baking myself dark brown in the sun... to late, damage is done. James is so cut, I like double decker buses to... Lived in KY for 6 years, never rode a horse, have petted a few, never went to any animal race

James is not only as cute as he can be, but he is a natural born skilled negotiator. Kudos to him!
We have been to The Derby, sat in a box,sung the song while drinking a mint julep (didn't like it but I am not a bourbon gal) and had a ball all while placing a whopping 20 dollar bet on the horse.

Cathy said...

You are a sweet grandma and James looks like he is very happy with his new bus!

Martha Jane Orlando said...

My grown son would have loved that double decker bus when he was James'age. How I love his smile!
Blessings!

Carla from The River said...

Ha.. you made me laugh saying your smoother skin... I will add that to my time capsule as well.
Oh James, you melt my heart.

James looks really happy with the bus. When he gets older, there is a LEGO version of a double decker bus which would make a great gift.

Awww how precious. That expression of James' holding the double decker bus is priceless.
You are a thoughtful Grandma...for sure.
Didn't watch the Derby and think horses are beautiful but they are too big for me.
I'm not as adventurous as I was years ago. I guess its the age. I do like to travel and see new things.
Yumm on Mexican food. Love it all.

What a thoughtful g'ma you are, Debby!
Ditto what you said about smoother skin in that time capsule. Gee, that was always something I took for granted -- until it wasn't.

Jo-Anne's Ramblings said...

Pretty flowers, interesting questions, and answers, I have never been to the races but have ridden a horse way back when I think I liked it but maybe not it was a long time ago.
Living in Australia I have never been to Kentucky, nor do I drink bourbon.
I am in no way adventurist, and I have never tried Mexican food.

What a fun surprise for James to get with that Amazon delivery. Cute photo. Mexican food is a favorite for sure. Happy Hodgepodge.

Chatty Crone said...

Oh my goodness - you love James so much. I know he LOVED that bus.

CheerfulMonk said...

Isn't Amazon great for something like that? Sometimes having it come soon is important. ❤️

Susan said...

James looks so happy with his bus. Amazon is great on getting what we need as quickly as possible! I have enjoyed sharing a few margaritas in the past. I hardly drink and can't know because of the meds I take. Do you like Miguel's? I like their chicken tacos, but I like my tacos more.

Ann said...

Love the expression on James face. How thrilling to get something in the mail that you really wanted.

Allstarme79 said...

Aww, that's cute about the little bus!

Kirstin said...

I enjoyed your answers. So funny about James. My grandson will often say things that he "came up with". too funny.
