Weekend Winddown


With Labor Day weekend just passing, what is your favorite holiday and why?
My favorite holiday used to be Christmas...and I guess for the most part, it still is, but I don't anticipate it with as much joy as I did before.  I used to love the smells, and spirit, and the general good will feeling that seems to permeate the air and the music...I do still love the music.  But it's just not the same as it used to be.

WWD # 13


What are your plans for Labor Day?
no big plans....my husband is going to cook a pork roast and corn on the cob on the grill, we might go to the park...but otherwise, just rest and relax and enjoy the day, especially the much cooler weather we've had!!

Weekend Winddown


What has been one of your favorite memories from this summer?
We bought a pool this year...and even though we didn't get in it as much as I would have hoped or wanted....I truly did enjoy it.  Over the July 4th weekend, we were all in the pool throwing splash balls at each other...my husband turned to avoid being hit with a ball thrown by yours truly...and fell backwards right out of the pool.  I don't think I have laughed that hard in a very long time....I did make sure he was OK before I started laughing.  But oh it was priceless.

Weekend Winddown




When & where was the last time you went to an amusement park?
Liberty Land in Memphis TN, in 2004.  It is now closed....


Did you ride on a roller coaster?
no...but only because I was pregnant at the time.  The only "ride" I went on was the train.  :-)   Otherwise, I always ride the roller coasters....

Saturday Blog Hops

Next: Hopping to Saturday


How old were you when you first learned to swim?

I'm not sure...there isn't one single age.  I took lessons as a child when I lived in Germany....and while I knew what to do, I was never very good or very comfortable swimming in the water, especially underwater.  Over time, I practiced, and perfected what I had been taught so that now, I love to swim (though I am very selective about where I swim).

The Questions:

1.) Tell us one nasty habit you have--we all know you have one!
I bite my nails...sometimes I "clean" my nose.


2.) You are able to hire one of the following-which is it? Maid, Chef, Gardener.
hmm...a maid, easily!


3.) Would you sacrifice one of your fingers for half a million dollars? 
Absolutely NOT...for one of my children, quite likely...for $$$...NEVER!



4.) Tell us how your husband popped the question? (If you're not married how would you want someone to pop the question?)
he just asked....we were at my house, and he asked if I'd like to be Mrs. Juelfs.  I said yes, and we were married 2 weeks later.


5.) Is there anyone that has ever done you so wrong that you just can't forget or forgive them...at all? 
 I forgive everybody, in time, for whatever wrong was said or done....but forgetting is more of a challenge.  And as an additional note, just because I've forgiven and put the wrong behind us does not for one minute mean I will put myself in a position to be wronged again by the same person.



6.) Do you believe that people should wait until marriage to have sex? Why or why not? 
Absolutely....sex is more than "sex"  or it should be.  If you are going to give that much of yourself to someone, then it needs to have meaning.  And it needs to be with your lifelong or eternal companion.  It is a special bond between a couple....and should be shared only within the bonds of marriage.  I know from experience the  long hard road it is to come back from. 







 
My Happy List

 
1. Very happy that the week is OVER!
2. Happy that Kraig's "stagger" day for his first day of kindergarten is the day I requested.

4. Happy to be getting caught up on my blogging duties.
5. Happy to be present and accounted for on another beautiful day.

My Happy List



My Happy List

The top of my happy list is always my family....

and my crafts.  I was so proud I was F-I-N-A-L-L-Y able to make the crocheted triangle.  I ripped out I don't know, like 5 or 6 attempts before I got it right.

This weeks question:




What's your favorite meat to throw on the grill- steak, chicken, hamburger, pork chops, or hotdogs/brats?

My husband loves to cook on the grill....and does so often during the summer.  Usually it's hamburgers and hotdogs (my personal fave), but recently we cooked a pork roast on the grill....and it. was. AWESOME.  We have also grilled corn and mushrooms...YUMMY!!!!

Weekend Winddown # 15



What's your favorite clothing combo during the Summer??...Skirts & Heels, Shorts & Tennis Shoes, or a Sundress and Flip Flops?




Actually, none of the above....I wear flip flops pretty much all year long when I *HAVE* to wear shoes (except to work and church on Sunday)...and in the summer..the cooler the better.  So at home and when off work, I wear shorts and flip flops (and of course a shirt..  :-)

 

How bout you???

Weekend Winddown...





On a hot day, do you prefer the ocean, the lake, or the pool?
A pool by far....especially one like this..:-)
But having this in our backyard this year has been beyond GREAT!!


And I do like the beach...
but have  not yet been to one that I am comfortable swimming in.  I only swim in water I can see the bottom of....and while Texas coast beaches are pretty awesome...the water, not so much!




Where do you like to swim????
