Chats on the Farmhouse Porch
It's time to head over to Patrice's porch for the weekly chat.Wendell is with us today! Don't know about anybody else but I've kind of missed him.
Questions
- Please tell me a fond autumn memory. Or tell me something interesting you're doing now that fall is here. Fond memories? I have lots of them. I love Halloween and seeing all the kids dressed up. I used to make my kid's outfits. I made them "jailbird" costumes one year and made them so they could later be used for pajamas. The first time I put them on my son after Halloween (he was pretty little), he went tearing out of the bathroom saying "I ready to go, I ready to go!"
- What's your favorite kind of cheese? Colby Longhorn
- Have you ever been in a wedding, other than your own (if applicable)? I was in quite a few weddings in my younger years.
- Did you ever do anything as a child to earn money? (Lemon aid stand, crafts, mother's helper, chores, etc.) We used to go around picking up pop bottles and taking them in for the deposit.
- Do you wear a watch? Not anymore - I think the cell phones have taken the place of watches. I miss wearing one but it just seems unnecessary anymore.
I will probably miss the chat next week as I'll be down home. I'll miss everybody and will bring back lots of pictures!
Thanks for the pop bottle memories. I remember when my kids were little, some week I would take back enough bottles on Thursday to get $2.00 in gas to get to work on Friday. $2.00 of gas now barely gets you out of the gas station. Have a safe trip. Can't wait to see tons of pics when you get back.
ReplyDeleteWow...pop bottles! Can you imagine kids doing that now? I used to load up my wagon!
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a wonderful time "down home". Let us know about your trip when you get back.Wendell wants to know if you're going to a carrot farm- his idea of the perfect vacation!:)
ReplyDeleteI've never attempted to make costumes. I applaud you for not only making them, but making them so they could continue to be used after Halloween. Very creative!
ReplyDeleteHave a fun time visiting!
That is such a sweet story about your son wanting to go trick-or-treating again! My youngest will put her costume on for weeks and walk around to us wanting us to put something in her basket :)
