Share Your World 2015 – Week 12

I know I’ve missed a few weeks, but I’m feeling a little more on top of my game this week, so I thought I’d throw one of these in!  I hope you enjoy learning just a bit more about me!

When was the last time you sat on a park or garden bench for more than ten minutes? Describe the occasion.  We have a fantastic pergola in our backyard by our garden and it is normal for T and I to sit back there after weeding or picking our produce and just visit or listen to the birds, enjoy the weather, etc.  While it isn’t exactly gardening weather here yet (it sleeted and snowed last night)..a couple weekends ago it was sunny and warm and we actually sat back there for awhile!

Share Your World 2015, Week 10

Well, due to life last week, I missed a week of Share Your World, so I’m excited to be back at it…even if it is at the end of the week!  I hope you enjoy my answers this week…make sure you keep reading because there might be a funny story about me as a young child! 😉

When you lose electricity in a storm, do you light the candles or turn on the flashlight? How many of each do you own? Both!  I love candles and have lots of them much to T’s dismay (I have candles at home and at work, so I’m covered on all bases!), so those would probably be the choice for constant light, but I’m sure for specific things or looking “in” things like cupboards, etc. flashlights would be used!

You are given $5,000 and the chance to exchange it for one of two envelopes. One envelope contains $50,000 and one contains $500. Do you make the trade? Why or why not?  My gut reaction is to keep the $5,000 because no matter what was in the other envelope, I would always have $5,000 more than I had prior!

Share Your World 2015: Week 4

Well, it’s Sunday which is technically the first day of the week, but always feels like the last day of the week and another crazy week at that! So, it shouldn’t come as a surprise anymore that I seem to get these out really late in the week, but I still love doing them, so…here is my part of Cee’s Photography Share Your World campaign!

1.  Where did you live at age five?  Is it the same place or town you live now?  I lived on a farm in rural North Iowa, near the town of Hampton.  Now, I live in Hampton.  The farm still stands, but is unoccupied and falling into disarray.  We lived there because my dad worked for the farmer who owned the land and the acerage.  We lived in several houses after that before I was on my own.

Share Your World 2015, Week 3

Last week were great questions from Cee of Cee’s Photography and this week doesn’t disappoint either!

Given the choice of anyone in the world, whom would you want as a dinner guest? This is so hard!  I wouldn’t even know where to begin to decide who, but I do know that I would want it to be someone out of the ordinary…a war vet, someone who survived the Holocaust….something like that!
