Pondering

It's Thursday! One of my favorite days. Time to do a little "pondering" with Brenda from Ponderings of an Author.  

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:  

Skirt

I absolutely LOVE skirts and wear them all the time. I especially enjoy pairing them with boots. Something like this.

Or this

Then there's Christmas tree skirts - like this one that I just finished.

 

All pictures from Pinterest!

 

 

 

Then, there's "skirting the issue." I try not to do that. I'm more of a "tackle it head on" type of person.

Porch Chats

It's time to head over to Patrice's porch for the weekly chat.
QUESTIONS 1. How many load of laundry do you do each week (about)? About 4 - soooo many less now that the kids are gone! I used to do one or two a night. 2. Where do your household pets sleep? If you have no pets, please skip to the next question. In bed - on top of me. Pandora (the Queen of the house) seems to think that I might float away if she doesn't hold me down. 3. What is your favorite thing to listen to while you drive? When I was younger, I would turn the radio up loud to some country song. Now I like the quiet. 4. Do you have to do a big clean-up when you have company, or are you always ready for guests? I try to do a little extra dusting and cleaning of the corners that don't always get cleaned, but for the most part it's pretty much clean all the time - not spotless by any means - but clean. 5. What's your favorite breakfast food? Sausage.

Coffee Chat

Let's go to Les's from Timeout for Mom  and chat - don't forget to get your coffee before heading over!

  It's Les's Birthday!! (May 13th):  What to get her?

Well, she mentioned flowers and dirt. I can do that - but knowing me, I'll probably throw in more veggies than flowers! 

Now she also mentioned time - If it were possible, I would take charge of the three kiddos for the whole day! She could spend it doing whatever she wanted - even if that happened to be nothing at all!

And the coffee - you KNOW I could help with that one!

Each week, Hilary over at Feeling Beachie lists four statements with a blank for you to fill in on your own blogs.   This week’s co-host is BETH ANN from IT’S JUST LIFE– She came up with the last two statements!

This week’s statements:
1. Sometimes I wonder why I'm not completely gray yet.
2. I try not to but I get frustrated  very often when I have to speak in public.
3. Today I promise that I will never stop learning until I die.
4. In my dreams I often am looking for something I have lost and sometimes I find whatever it is and  actually remember it when I wake up.

This Week's prompt:  

Handle

Handle - How do you handle all the things in life that need to be handled? Sometimes I think there is just too much - can't handle it - but I always do. I really don't want to give up control of most of the things that I handle, like the finances although a little help would certainly be appreciated. I willingly turn over the handling of the lawn mower to Biz. He can handle that. He can also handle the grill - I'll handle the dishes.

Now the other kind of handle - the door handle. I like the handles that look like this:

google of course

I have these on all the doors of my house. Trouble is - I  tend to get caught on them. Somehow the strap of my purse ends up around the handle and I end up being jerked back. Truly - it happens at least once a day! But I do like the way they look so I guess I can handle it.
