Thank you Joyce.

1. Egg on your face, putting all your eggs in one basket, a good egg, walk on eggshells, nest egg, or a tough egg to crack...which eggy idiom currently applies to your life in some way? Explain

I am walking on eggshells or possibly a tough egg to crack with my health. I do believe you have to be tired of hearing this from me. 

I ended up going to the ER on Friday because of my lungs. Something is not right and we are not finding any answers. 

2. April 7th is National Beer Day...are you a beer drinker? If so do you have a favorite? Beer battered fish, beer bread, beer can chicken, beer brats...which one sounds good to you? Have you made any of these?

I don't mind having a beer but it really doesn't happen often at all. I'm not sure that I would want any of them. No I have not made any of them.  

3. Do you have siblings? What's the best thing about being your sibling? If you don't have siblings, what would you say are the pros and cons of being an only child? 

I have a brother and a sister but my brother passed away a few years ago. My brother Raymond lived in Milwaukee and my sister Darcy is in Florida. I love them both. My sister is a lot like me and my brother was into acting and he was gay. 

Raymond and Darcy in front, me in the back.

4. How do you feel about floral scents in products? Do you have a favorite?

Because of my COPD I try to stay away from floral scents. I do however like a pine candle at Christmas. 

5. What's one thing in your home that begins with the letter G that you would say is a keeper, something you'll hold on to? Tell us why. 

I will go with giraffes. I have a collection of figurines of them because they are my favorite animal. 

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

We went to Adam and Gabby's on Easter Sunday and had a lovely day. It felt good to get out of the house. We had a nice dinner. It was not a traditional dinner this year. We had Carne Asada tacos and other sides to go along with that. 

I got one picture of James where he was being silly.

Sorry to hear you were at the ER again. I sure hope they can figure something out for you soon.
I can't stand the smell or taste of beer but I don't mind beer battered fish. I did have one brother but he passed away several years ago.
Cute picture of James.

I like your giraffe collection. Have you been up close to a real giraffe?
My friend Alice loves elephants. Last summer she was able to have a real life experience with an elephant.

Praying for you Debby.

Oh, Debby, I do hope the doctors can figure out what's going on with your lungs and soon! I know this has to be so frustrating for you. I enjoy a beer now and then, but much prefer red wine. I don't like strong floral scents, either. Give James a hug from me next time you see him! Blessings!

How frustrating that the Doctors can't figure out about your lungs. I sure hope that changes for you soon.

In Galatians, it says we are to bear one another's burdens. How can we do that if no one is transparent enough to share? I for one want to know, so I know specifically how to pray for you! Keep sharing, dear sister. 🌹

My grandson who is his age loves to be silly in pictures too. I think it's a phase they go through : ) I'm glad you had time together and am praying you get some answers and find relief for your lung condition. Take care.

Praying for answers Debby. I can feel how its wearing you done.
I do enjoy a beer now and then and like beer bread, which I haven't made for ages.
I love giraffes too and was overjoyed to see them in real life when we were in Kenya. Such amazing creatures.
I'm an only child but did have a girl friend that was like a sister to me. She has been gone for quite a few years.
As always I enjoy your cutie pie James. It looks like he did alright with his Easter basket.

I don't drink beer nor have I ever liked the smell or taste of it, but I do buy the beer battered fish patties from Gorton's (frozen), and also sometimes buy the beer brats from Johnsonville Brats. I am so sorry you have been having so much trouble with your breathing, etc. I know you've been struggling with this and I pray it will get better. I'm so glad you had a nice Easter with the family. James is such a cutie. And you and your siblings were all so very good looking! I am sorry that your brother has passed. I had two brothers and one sister, and my oldest brother passed away in 2019 from leukemia. My other brother lives in North Carolina, and my sister lives here in Florida, about 2 hours away from me, and we just celebrated her 80th birthday this past weekend. I hope you have a blessed rest of your week.

How frustrating for you to not have good answers to what is going on healthwise. Hope you can get some good answers. That's a unique collection, giraffes. Fun. Glad you could get some time with your family on Easter.

I am so sorry you are dealing with the lung issues. Fingers crossed and prayers to God they find a solution for you soon.
You and your siblings were a very ice looking bunch!

I'm so sorry about your lungs! That's a cute picture of James. ❤️

I'm so sorry to hear you're not getting any plausible answer to your lung issues. Is there perhaps, another medical facility you're willing (able) to visit. Keep fighting, dear friend!

Susan said...

Hi Debby, so sorry you are sick again. I sure hope you can get the help you need. I am glad you had a nice Easter with James!

Chatty Crone said...

Debby I am sorry too that you had to go to the ER and no one can help. It seems in this world there should be someone. James was so sweet goofing around. Glad you had a nice Easter. I do not like beer!

Some good answers, I am pleased you had a good Easter
