Chats on the Farmhouse Porch

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

Questions

1. Do you have any special plans for this fall? Daughter and I are planning a trip down home to VA at the end of September.
2. Do you collect anything? I collect eagle figurines.
3. Have you done any canning or freezing this season? Lots - I can everything I can get my hands on.
4. Do you have a friend who lives far away? Where do they live? I have friends all over, from VA to FL to TX to CA!
5. When in a store, restaurant, or other business, do you ever complain or praise to the management? I try not to. I've worked behind enough counters to know what it's like.

Monday Quiz About Me

Based on the original Meet Me on Monday hosted by Java at Never Growing Old, Heather over at Acting Balanced  posts 5 questions on Sunday evening along with a linky for you to link up your post answers! Since Java is back , Heather has changed the name of her hop to "Monday Quiz About Me."

This weeks Questions:

1. What is your favorite Olympic sport? I guess if I have to pick one it would be swimming.

2. What is the healthiest meal you've eaten this week? Chef salad?

3. What is the unhealthiest meal you've eaten this week? Waffles with lots of butter and syrup made from my own blackberry jam.

4. What jewelry do you wear every day? The only thing I wear every day is a simple cross necklace. I have worn a cross since the day I discovered I was pregnant with my daughter - it's simply a part of me now.

And don't forget to add a 5th Question on your own blog so we can answer as we hop around!

 

5. My daughter texted me last week that she knew what she wanted for Christmas this year - a canner and extensive canning lessons. I was so proud! My little girl all grown up. What is the last thing that made you feel extra proud of your kids?

Porch Party Day 4

 Patrice's party is coming to a close and I've had a great time. So has Kimmy.

Today's Question is:4. You've had good food, your picture taken with Wendell, and you shook your bootie dancing. What would you like to do now? Would it be "me" time(and that's okay) or would you like to have some time with a friend?
I would love to sit in the porch swing and talk to a friend - a REAL talk - GIRL talk. Since my BF and I have both moved, I really miss being able to do this. We still talk on the phone but it is just not the same. There's nothing like talking to a friend that understands what you're going through, knows when to offer a cup of coffee - or a glass of wine; knows when to agree - and knows when to tell you what you don't want to hear; knows when to talk - and when to just sit and swing.
