Chats on the Farmhouse Porch

It's time to head over to Patrice's porch for the weekly chat. Welcome to the new participants in the chat!

Questions

1. Beth asks:What's your favorite movie of all times? The one you've seen multiple times. That would be It's A Wonderful Life -the best movie ever made!
2. Clairity says: Name three things that are permanent residents in your handbag or purse. Aside from the normal things like your wallet and keys? How about: a flash drive, hair ties, and disposable toothbrushes.
3. Red asks: What's the best way to your heart? Kindness
4. Mamaw wants to know: Do you like going to yard sales? Love going to them - hate having them.
5. Cathy says: If you could slide down a rainbow, what do you think you'd find on the other side? Soggy ground?

Coffee Chat

Time for the Coffee Chat! If you'd like to join, head over to Leslie's at Time out for Mom.

The topic is: "Keep it, toss it, burn it, sell it  "

In the same vein as last Chat's game, except this time Les is giving us the items:

1.  old high school/alma mater tshirt - definitely keep - I can't tell you how many old tshirts I have in boxes in the attic - some of mine and lots of the kid's. I once took some of my son's old tshirts and made a quilt out of them for him.

2.  love letter from old flame who broke your heart - burn it - you don't need those memories, unless there is a way you could use it to get revenge, then by all means keep it.

3.  engagement ring -- from when you said "no" Personally, I would have given it back - but if I had it, I would sell it.

4.  vinyl edition of what was "your song" - you can dowload from iTunes anyway This one would depend on how old the vinyl was - some can be valuable, so I'd keep or sell.

Monday Quiz About Me

Welcome to Monday Quiz About Me - hosted by Acting Balanced and Touristic. They post 5 questions on Sunday evening along with a linky for you to link up your post answers! 

Here are the Questions:
1. When would you consider planting flowers or vegetables at your residence? Every spring! Can't wait - garden is already all planned out - it will e plowed in early April and planted over the next few weeks. 2. What is more egregious; cheating on one's spouse or spending the family into being bankruptcy? I'd say that both are pretty bad, although cheating is the one unforgivable thing in my book. 3. In honor of Pi Day this week, what is your favorite kind of pie? Cherry is my fave! 4. Would would you give Wayne @ Touristic for his birthday today? I have no idea! Since he seems to be the intellectual type - maybe a book on a subject he is interested in?

And don't forget to add a 5th Question on your own blog so we can answer as we hop around! It's been a short weekend again with running back and forth to the hospital to see my grandson. I hope they let him come home soon. I have been extremely tired and I think it's from sitting around in a hospital room - and maybe driving a lot more than usual. Daughter doesn't seem to mind that much. She has her ipad and phone to keep her company. I have noticed this weekend that her phone never seems to stop "beeping" with text messages! This younger generation! I personally HATE texting and do it sparingly. So my question today is: What is wrong with having an actual conversation?

Pondering With A Purpose

It's Thursday! One of my favorite days. Time to do a little "pondering" with Brenda from Ponderings of an Author.  I'm so glad that Brenda got her new site up and running in time for Ponderings!

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:  Flexible

Talk about flexible - Brenda is the epitome of the word. For someone to get home from Germany, almost instantly have to travel for the birth of a grandchild and then return to have to set up a new blog - yes, that's being flexible.

 I'd like to think that I am a pretty flexible person. I've had to be. I've had an interesting week- which involved a lot of flexibility - myself with the birth of my second grandchild. I had not planned on going to the hospital last night but daughter sounded so "blue" on the phone I had to put my coat and shoes back on and head out in the snow to make the hour trip. She was bored. No-one was there with her. (She is staying at the hospital until GPR is strong enough to come home). By the time I got there though, her hubby had arrived and she was all smiles again. Oh well. I got to see my little GPR (which is what I've decided to call the little guy since they didn't consult me on the name and I really don't care that much for it). All is good. I'm flexible that way!
