Thank you Joyce.

1. What's a task you do on a regular (or semi-regular basis) that feels like it should be an Olympic event? 

I can't think of anything, however, I should be working on decluttering which I have mentioned way too many times here! 

Sometimes changing the sheets feels like an Olympic event. Mark usually puts on the bottom sheet which is too hard for me to do because we have a sleigh bed. 

2. What's in the trunk of your car right now? 

Actually right now there are bags for grocery shopping and a towel. In a few weeks my bowling bag will be in there for 9 months. Having a Mini Cooper means I have a small trunk. 

3. Summer foods vs. fall foods...which do you prefer? 

I think I prefer summer food but truthfully I could eat either one all year long. 

Would you rather-watermelon or caramel apple? iced coffee or pumpkin spiced latte? potato salad or sweet potato casserole? barbecued ribs or roast turkey? ice cream sandwich or apple pie? corn on the cob or candy corn? 

I will take the watermelon. I will take the iced coffee. Hard to pick between potato salad or sweet potato casserole. I will take roast turkey. I am not a BBQ person. I will take the ice cream sandwich. I will take corn on the cob. However, I do enjoy a few pieces of candy corn. 

4. August 7th is National Lighthouse Day. Have you visited any lighthouses? Do you have a favorite? Is a lighthouse something you seek out if you're visiting an area known for theirs? 

I have seen several lighthouses over the years. I can't say I have a favorite. I do think they are awesome and if I happen to see one I would definitely go and visit it. 

5. Light at the end of the tunnel, out like a light, give the green light, a lightbulb moment, in a new light, in the limelight...of the 'light' idioms listed which applies in some way to your life lately? Explain. 

I am going to go with light at the end of the tunnel. Praying for my health issues to settle down and also my depression and anxiety to leave me. 

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

We made it to Amber and Dylan's on Monday evening. It is so wonderful to be here with them. I don't take many pictures on the drive anymore but I did take two. 



So when we drive through Las Vegas we stop and have an Aurelio's pizza. It is a Chicago pizza that we love.

I have to have my hubs help me put on the fitted sheet too - arthritis - lol.
I like both summer and fall food too.
I have to be honest - I don't think I have seen a light house - cool you have seen a few.
Those two pics - shows beauty but it is so different here. America is amazing. Glad you made it there and have fun!
That pizza looked good!

Looks so pretty in that part of the country. It's on my list to get there someday! The pizza looks really good : ) Enjoy this time with your family!

Oh, that pizza looks so good! I'm not fond of yams, so would be reluctant to try a sweet potato casserole. I should put that on my Possibilities list.
Enjoy your time with the 'kids'!

I enjoyed your answers here, Debby, and I do hope you will soon see the light at the end of the tunnel with regard to your health issues. Have a great time with your family!

Debby said...

My husband and I change the sheets and bed together.
Pretty roadside shots. I’ve never had a Chicago style pizza! Even when I was in Chicago I didn’t order one. Looks good but I prefer a thinner crispy crust.

Ann said...

What a beautiful view you had on your drive.
I don't have a preference between summer or fall food. I love it all.
