I Like... (3/25)

  Thank you to Leeanne of Not Afraid of Color for reminding me to notice things I like. 

I like zucchini bread...
because it's good,
and because I have soooo much zucchini still in my freezer.

I like my new e-reader.
I feel guilty that I'm not loyal to turning the paper pages,
but I do love reading on a Kindle.
 (hover over a word to get the meaning...
reading in bed with no light on... search... choose font size...)
And it gave a good excuse to make a new bag case for it.

I like seeing a great idea on blog-friend's post.  I saw this two days before Valentine's Day at Lining Up My Stitches and knew I had to make one... well... 6 the next day!
Using up scraps! Making something cute! Seeing grandkids happy!
Win! Win! Win!

I like a big bowl of Chex mix.

I like watching the snow from my front porch...
at 9:30, 10:30, 11:30, 12:30, 1:30

I like turning dabs of paint into something recognizable.

LeeAnne's  get-to-know-you writing topics this month:

As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up? I always wanted to be an elementary teacher.  As you got older, how did it change? Nope. From the time I was about 8, I wanted to teach kids and never waivered from that. I loved being a student. I loved being in the classroom. I loved learning.

In honor of St Patrick's Day, what is your favorite shade of green? Green is my favorite color. I like true greens and bluish greens better than olive greens. Do you have any clothes in that color? Accents for the home like pillows, duvets, etc? I sure do.  My car is green. I have a couple of green chairs. My carpet is green. My dishes have a green border.

What was it like being the oldest/youngest/middle/only child of the family? I'm #5, the youngest.  My siblings are 7,9,11,12 years older than me. My oldest niece is 13 years younger than me.  So, I could sometimes fit in with my siblings, sometimes fit in with my nieces and nephews, and sometimes didn't quite fit in with either. It's all good though.  I wouldn't trade or change my place in the family.

What was growing up in your hometown like? I grew up in a small (population about 5,000) town in the Ouachita Mountains of western Arkansas. [If you watched the based-on-real-events movie American Made with Tom Cruise, that's my hometown... but do not believe half of that movie... and, yeah... the other half is true. And, those events took place while I was in high school.] I loved my hometown and my growing-up years.  I went to school with the same kids from 1st - 12th grade. We lived on a dirt road, road the bus home from school, and got 2 channels on the television.  We all cheered for the Bearcats on Friday nights, had a drive in during the summer, and a theater during the winter.  In elementary school we had bunking parties with friend. In high school we spent time at the Cone n Cue or dragging Main Street. Good times.
