It’s fun to see what we all have in common. I’m anxious to hear from my secret sister.


These are my answers:

1.Favorite color: Purple, blue
2. Chocolate Lover? Absolutely!! Milk, Dark, White, or none of
the above? Milk chocolate of course, I’m a simple girl!!!!

3. What is your favorite craft hobby? That’s tough. I love to quilt most probably, but I also love scrap booking type crafts almost as much.
4. What is a craft/art hobby that you would like to start? Stained Glass has ALWAYS intrigued me and I’d love to learn. I’d also love to learn to knit.

6. Do you have any allergies? Mustard believe it or not
7.What’s your favorite part of
Halloween? Definitely decorating and of course a little chocolate always makes the decorating easier. I love waiting for the kids and seeing their creative costumes.
8. Do you decorate for Thanksgiving/Fall? Yep, I’ve already gotten out my pinwheel
fall leaves and triple stacked pumpkins.


Took these 2 days ago near Tobin mine.
The colors are beginning to be absolutely beautiful here and different every day.

9. December holidays~What holiday do you celebrate. Christmas. What type of decorations do you like to put up in your house for that? lights, garland with bulbs, an air-filled NOEL and my sagebrush light-up snowman.

10. Do you have any children, if so what are their ages, boys/girls? 3 stepsons, all grown (my husband is quite a bit older)
11. Do you have any pets, if so what kind? 2 dogs~black lab SGT Tank Gunner who we affectionately call Scooby, golden retriever, Sweet Whiskey Sour and 2 cats~gray sable, Sady and tiger cat, Dickens.
12. Are you a reader? Yes! If so, what type of books do you like? I read Lisa Wingate, Susan Wiggs and Debbie Macomber most recently, but I love a good love story, especially when it’s snowing out.
13. Are you celebrating a birthday or anniversary in October, November, or December? No, but we still do a little something for each other on the 18th of each month to keep things fun.
14. Do you collect anything? Yes. If so what type of things do you collect? Polish Pottery, I love the unique one of kind each piece is.
15. What type of things do you like to cook? Definitely everything!! Don’t do much take out though, love to experiment with desserts and cookies. I’ve written 2 cookbooks for family reunions that have been pretty interesting. I plan the menu a month or 2 in advance and every month we try a few new recipes, but we’re on a tight budget so I try to group the meals to use the best resources. If Tuesday night’s dinner calls for a half a box of mushrooms, it’s a safe bet that Monday’s or Wednesday’s calls for the other half.

18. What’s the last movie you went to see at the movie theater? It’s been so long I can’t remember. We prefer to wait until they’re available on Direct PPV ~ that way we can make popcorn and put it on hold if necessary.
19. What’s your favorite Candy? Godiva Truffles, needless to say they’re a real $$ treat, so I usually pretend that See’s Bordeaux is my working class version.
