Another Award!!

Image
By
A great big thank you to Lissaloo and Gracey for giving me this award! I'm having so much fun reading and writing blogs, but the awards are the icing on the cake.




The rules for accepting this award are:
  1. Choose a minimum of 7 blogs that you find brilliant in content or design.
  2. Show the 7 winners names and links on your blog, and leave a comment informing them that they were prized with "Honest Scrap."
  3. List at least 10 honest things about yourself.

Number 1 is the hardest part of accepting an award. I love all of my buddy's blogs, so I hate to choose only 7! But since I must follow the rules, I am awarding this honor to (in alphabetical order):

  1. A dash of life
  2. Muddy Runner
  3. My Tasty Treasures
  4. One Step at a Time
  5. Tattoos and Teething Rings
  6. The 5th Sister
  7. Tried and True Cooking With Heidi
  8. Walking Across America
  9. Who Has the Thyme?
  10. Yesterday's Tomorrow

Ok, I cheated! I'm passing the award to 10 people and listing 7 honest things about myself. I can do that, can't I? It still equals 17, so I'm going with it!

  1. My favorite color is purple. It has been as long as I can remember.
  2. As a result of numerous ear infections when I was younger, I have limited hearing in my right ear.
  3. I've lived in the suburbs, the city, and now in a small town.
  4. I pierced my ears myself. I had the first set (one per ear) professionally done. When multiple pierced ears became popular, I added one more piercing to one ear and two to the other. I did it during a lecture in science class in high school.
  5. I hate doing laundry. I do it, but I hate it.
  6. When I get really tired I often hallucinate.
  7. I hate having my picture taken. With the exception of my driver's license and a few family photos I was forced into, I haven't let anyone take my picture in almost 10 years.

Skip Breakfast And Have An Adventure

By
We're skipping breakfast again.  I know you were expecting Mr. Willoughby to dazzle you with his cooking skills, but he doesn't feel like cooking today.  He wants to go skydiving. Yesterday, a friend sent us a link to an article about a new place to skydive in Michigan.  When I clicked on the link, I was surprised to see a familiar face. We'll get to that in a minute. You may recall that Mr. W started skydiving by taking a tandem jump a few years ago.  With a tandem jump, having a great instructor makes the difference between a fun experience and an amazing experience and Mr. W had Josh Sheppard; one of the best.  Josh is experienced, enthusiastic and passionate about skydiving.  Mr. W had such an amazing experience that he decided to take the AFF course (to learn to jump solo) before they were back on the ground.   So back to that article, the familiar face I saw was Josh.  He and his brother Abe have started a new skydiving business in Owo...

Timeline

I made Spaghetti with Tomato Basil Cream Sauce and Chicken Parmesan for dinner last night. It's not a difficult meal to prepare, but it does require the oven and multiple burners on the cooktop so it heats up the kitchen. After dinner, it was still awfully warm inside, so I left all of the dishes right where there were and my husband and I went outside to sit on the back porch and cool off. We had eaten rather late, so it was already dark outside. Our neighborhood was uncharacteristically quiet and the only sounds were that of the crickets chirping and the faint whoosh of cars passing by on Main Street. It was a perfect summer evening, the sort that you dream about in the middle of February. I asked my husband what he thought we might have been doing at that exact moment one year ago. Had we been sitting in the same place enjoying similarly beautiful weather? Had I made the same meal for dinner? What about five years ago? How about 10, 15, and 20 years ago? I know I've taken a ...

Bugging Out

By
Spring is such a wonderful time of year.  The birds have returned and greet each morning with their lovely songs.  The tree branches are covered with green buds ready to burst into life.  The grass has shed it's yellow/brown pallor in favor of a lovely emerald.  The air is warm and breezy.  It's all so lovely except for one thing.  The bugs. Because of our nearly uninhabitable climate during the winter months, we don't see many bugs from late October through early April.  I almost forget how much I hate them until they come back.  And they know I hate them so they taunt me.  Ever since the thermometer hit the 60 degree mark, we've had flies congregating around the back porch.  I can't sit out there and enjoy my morning coffee without having them buzz past me. Now, flies I hate, but spiders I absolutely loathe.  Friday morning I walked into the bathroom to dry my hair and spotted what I thought was a bumble ...
