Chats on the Farmhouse Porch
Today is it time to have a visit on the Farm House Porch.
Patrice always has the nicest questions to share.
I hope you can come along for a visit.
Questions:
1. Are you afraid of heights or small places?
I was never afraid of heights or small places, until I had children. I wonder what is up with that? The first time I noticed I was afraid of heights we were in Holland, Michigan and I was at the top of a windmill. All of a sudden I couldn't stand up nor could I move.
It was during the Tulip Festival and there were tons of people, and I had to give the baby to my husband, and I had to crawl backwards down three flights of stairs, and I had to sit outside on a bench until my legs stopped shaking. I have to force myself now to just get on top of a ladder.
2. What was on top of your wedding cake? (If you're not married- What was on top of your favorite birthday cake?)
My Mom and I fought about this silly cake topper.
She planned the whole wedding and I was determined that this going to be the top of my cake. She was furious. It made me laugh and sometimes I do have such an odd sense of humor. I had to go to my Dad and he overruled her but it was a costly battle.
3. What was something you took for granted in school that you'd pay better attention to now if you could do it over?
Without a doubt I would have been a home EC major instead of an English one. I wish I had got a education in textiles. I also wish I had taken short hand. I loved typing and really thought I would be a secretary.
4. What's your favorite type of tea or coffee? (ie: Chai tea, green tea, English Breakfast tea)
I enjoy chamomile tea, but I do have this love for coffee. I can always have one more cup of coffee.
5. Would you rather drive the car, or be a passenger?
I would rather drive. I am a passenger most of the time though.
Thanks so much for reading along. I hope you are having a nice
week.

i don't mind climbing a ladder - just don't make me get off of it onto a roof and back again. terrifies me! :)
ReplyDeleteI really regret not doing shorthand too. Nobody in school ever taught it, and I was saying to our own girls the other day that I reckon we ought to look for a course that does it. What a useful tool, and noone seems to do it! Go figure...

I think the cake topper is adorable!

ReplyDeleteYour photos are great. I love the whole fall theme you have going with your blog. At one point, I regretted not having taken shorthand. However, I don't think about it now. Oh yes, I love your wedding topper!

That's funny about the cake topper. And now I want a cup of chai tea. I hope it rains all day so I can drink some! And maybe light candles. Somewhere the munchkins won't get them.
ReplyDeleteI love the cake topper! I believe it's the same one my daughter almost chose. I liked it then too but her MIL didn't and she ended up going with something more traditional.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about having kids and being afraid of heights. I'd completely forgotten about taking my 2 year-old on a chairlift. I was constantly afraid that she would somehow slip away. Maybe we become more protective?
ReplyDeleteWe have so much in common. I am in awe at how much each time I read your answers to questions. I always thought we are so different but we really aren't. I love your Wednesday posts.
ReplyDeleteThat's a scary story about the height issue. I have a terrible fear of heights and closed in places. The thing that affected me after having the lovelies was anything that goes in circles. I can't do it.
ReplyDeleteI think the cake topper is great, also not good with heights
ReplyDeleteOh, heights and I are not friends. I just had an episode on a hike with my husband this summer. We hit a part of the trail and I just froze...trembling, crying, couldn't move...poor guy had to lead me down the rest of the path with me gripping his arm so tightly! I have many funny stories about the height thing! I love coffee too...lucky my son works for Starbucks!!
ReplyDeleteI wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your visits to Wise Old Owl. I've decided to combine my blogs so you can find me now at Jeremiah 29:11. There's a page at the top called Wise Old Owl!!! If you get a chance, I would love for you to visit me there!!! HOPE you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteHi Kim, I got a kick from that fancy cake topper of yours. You were such a cute bride but what a warp sense of humor you had when you were young. Lol... I guess that your new husband only cared about you and not the cake topper. Me on the other hand, I was so serious when I was young. I must have been a pain to be with for my husband... Lol...
ReplyDeleteThat's quite a story about your fear of height on top of a wind mill.
I love coffee but can't drink too much or I shake and feel very jittery afterward.
Take care my friend and keep your feet on the ground. Hugs. JB
I so enjoyed this chat, Kim, the wedding cake topper was so funny, .
ReplyDeleteHugs,
