NAME YOUR FAVORITE...
Place: Home; the trees at the back of our property where I walk.
Color: sky blue
Smell: fresh-mown hay
Magazine: I don't read many magazines these days.
Texture: Plush robes or throws.
Thing to do when bored: Do something like "Sunday Stealing", Read, garden in summer, watch TV, surf the Internet.
Precious stone: No favorite
Animal: Jersey cows, Tennessee Walking Horses, some dogs, some cats. I can't choose just one. But dogs would be the hardest for me to live without, so I'll say dogs.
Time in history: Favorite time of my life, the 40's and 50's. Favorite time to read about, the 1930's and '40's in the United States.
Font: No favorite
Sound: Children laughing and/or singing spontaneously
Fruit: Mangos, Fuji apples
Vegetable: Home-grown sweet corn; home-grown tomatoes... but I guess tomaties are fruits.

Historical figure: Alfred the Great
Letter: I have favorite words, but no favorite letters.
Memory: Christmas memories from my childhood
Dessert: Ben and Jerry's Cherry Garcia ice cream
Candy: I'm more a fan of cookies, but I like Hershey with almonds. I don't know when I've bought any kind of candy bar, though. Maybe years!
Restaurant: One of the local Mexican restaurants.
Language: If Spaniards all talk like Julio Iglesias sings, that's my favorite language.
Thing to learn about: Whatever grabs my interest at the time.
Thing about yourself: I like the way I've just rolled with the flow in life, whichever way the wind blows: because it turns out at this point that when I look back, I wouldn't change much. In other words, I'm lazy, and I've learned to accept it.
I got these questions from Sunday Stealing.
you don't sound lazy you sound able to move through life easily. Alfred the Great huh? interesting. We watch a lot of BBC history shows and learned a little about his reign.
ReplyDeletecherry and chocolate are my fave dessert flavors too. Ahhhh cows...
LeeAnna at not afraid of color
I wouldn't call you lazy, just accepting and flexible. That's a great way to be! Ben and Jerry's is my favorite!
ReplyDelete"In other words I'm lazy and I've learned to accept it." Lazy is NOT a word I'd associate with you, Donna. *lol* ~Andrea xoxo
ReplyDeleteYou piqued my interest about Alfred the Great a while ago and I didn't follow up. Maybe now I will.
ReplyDeleteLazy? Don't think so. Like Margaret said, flexible.
I don't think you're lazy. Farm wives are never lazy. Just adaptable. Don't buy anything chocolate - it doesn't taste like it used to. If you do, get something other than Hershey's.
ReplyDeleteWe aren't really farmers. I doubt if we ever made money if you averaged all the few farm-type things we did. I just happened to love pigs, cows, horses, and gardens; Cliff loved tractors. It was a marriage made in heaven, but the most land we ever had was 43 acres here where we live now, and over half of that is full of deep ravines and lots of trees. Cliff has always worked to make a living, and I had several jobs at different times after the kids were bigger. We didn't even have health insurance for many years, but we sure had fun.
DeleteI like Hershey's dark chocolate, myself. And now you've made me curious about Alfred the Great. I'm going to have to look him up.
