Pondering With a Purpose

Thursday again! Time to do a little "pondering" with Brenda from Fiction With a Purpose.

Her rules are really easy:

1. Grab the Pondering with a Purpose Badge (in her sidebar)

2. Look at the week's prompt

3. Post something on your blog that relates to the prompt - it can be a story, a poem, a picture -- anything you want it to be.

4. Go back here and add the URL from your post to the linky list on Brenda's.

5. Go check out the other bloggers who have added their links to the list.

6. AND most of all.... Have fun!

This Week's prompt:   What are you most comfortable in? 
Well - that depends. If we are talking about clothing - I would say that I am most comfortable in a pair of pajama pants and an old t-shirt. If that is not "appropriate" then I would choose, believe it or not a dress. Not a fancy dress, just a long, flowing dress (or skirt for that matter). 
Now if we are talking about "situations" or places - I'm really a simple person - I like small , informal groups. I HATE big fancy restaurants. Just give me a place where there are "real" people - you know, the kind of people you can talk to without feeling that they are looking down their noses at you.
 

Wednesday Hodgepodge

Welcome back to the Wednesday Hodgepodge! Be sure to add your link to the bottom of Joyce's post and then go visit the neighbors. After all, that's part of the fun! 

1. What's something you miss about the 80's? If you're too young to miss the 80's how about the 90's?

I remember the 80s well. I miss my babies - being pregnant, feeling them move inside me - holding them when they arrived - wiping their tears - all of it.

2. Do you have a library card? If so, how often do you visit?

I do have a library card for the University library and I use it a lot.

3. What's the secret to success?

Ummmmm................have I succeeded yet? In some things, in others not. I guess the only "secret" that I can think of is to never give up.

4. This is National Backyard Games week...what's your favorite backyard game?

You have to remember that I'm a country girl. Is fishing down by the pond considered a game? How about skeet shooting? 

5. If I dropped by today what would I find on your coffee table?

Remotes for the TV, a couple of coasters and lots of fingerprints.

6. Do you own a bicycle? When was the last time you rode a bicycle? Is that something you enjoy?

I do have a bike. I got it for my birthday last year after daughter decided she wanted hers back. I've always loved riding a bike and do it as often as I can. Although the bike is fairly new, it is "vintage" looking - just one speed, coaster brakes and a wicker basket on the front.

7. What's your favorite cheese?

The only cheese I don't like is blue cheese. If I had to pick a favorite, I'd say either Swiss or Cojack.

8. Insert your own random thought here.

Daughter came by last night to discuss the book she's been researching. Blood Feud - history of Hatfield/McCoy Feud. She wants to know details before the show this weekend. We sat there and discussed what she had read and what has been passed down through the family for about 3 hours. There were some discrepancies but not that many. I'm interested to see what the show is like. Keep in mind that the McCoy family has never sold their story for a movie so most that I have seen have been shown from the Hatfield point of view - I may be venting next week.

Chats on the Farmhouse Porch

It's time to head over to Patrice's porch for the weekly chat.

Here are the questions:

1. What are you doing for Memorial Weekend?
2. What's the last old movie you saw?
3. What color are the walls in your living room?
4. What's your favorite food to cook on the grill?
5. What's your favorite animal?

My Answers:

1. I don't really have any big plans for the weekend - except for getting the pool put up and filled. I'm also planning on watching the History Channel's version of the Hatfield and McCoy Feud. 
2. I don't really know the name - it was with Jimmy Stewart as a reporter, investigating an old murder case.
3. Country white.
4. Chicken on the grill is awesome.
5. Favorite animal? I like most animals - love dogs and cats too, then there are horses, cows, sheep and even goats! Never cared much for pigs though. I'm a country girl at heart I guess - born and bred.
