1. Did you watch the Kentucky Derby this past weekend? No, I did not. Have you ever
been to a horse race? No, I have not. Ever ridden a horse? Yes, I have. Did you enjoy it? Yes, I did. My uncle and aunt use to own a riding stable. They had a lovely business. Beautiful trails in the woods and very gentle horses. Have you
ever been to Kentucky? Yes.. just a drive thru. Do you like Bourbon? Yes.
2. What's something you wish you'd placed in a time capsule fifteen years ago?
Memories that I made fifteen years ago, that I cannot seem to remember today. Ha ha!
3. Are you adventurous? Elaborate.
I will say, Yes. When we canoe or go kayaking I will be the first to say, how about we paddle down this stream. The last time I said this we got stuck on a sand bar on a little creek, we could not really turn around, it was a true adventure to get out.
4. Something you want to make this year? It can be a new recipe, craft,
diy project, a milestone you've set for yourself...anything at all.
I just finished a huge project (for me) a T-shirt quilt for our oldest son.
I finished it Friday, May 3!!
We gave it to him for his birthday on Saturday, May 4th.
Note.. his birthday is April 7th, but he was away with the Wisconsin National Guard during his birthday, we celebrated this Saturday.
Using T-shirts from when he was a little boy, to a teen boy. It was a lot of fun to create this special memory quilt for him.
We celebrated Sam's birthday at Pattison State Park. Pattison State Park is Sam's favorite Wisconsin state park. He was very touched by the quilt and it made my heart swell!! We enjoyed a day of hiking, a fun picnic and birthday cupcakes.
5. Cinco de Mayo was also celebrated this past weekend...do you like
Mexican food? I do. We have a fantastic Mexican Restaurant in our area, Casa Mexicana . If so what's your favorite dish? Chimichanga de Tinga Have you ever been to
Mexico? Yes. Margarita-yes or no? Yes.
