Here's what I'm supposed to do. Tell you 6 things about myself and nominate 6 blogs.
What an honor for such a novice blogger!! Thanks so much Theresa!
These are the six things about me:
- On any given day, for as long as I can remember, you can find tie downs or some kind of rope in my truck. You never know when you may need them. I’ve been known to be at an estate sale a 100 miles from home and buy two tons of furniture and fit it in a one ton truck!!
- I love a hot bath at the end of the day with a hot cup of tea or a cold icy glass of Sangria, more often the latter.
- I grew up on a farm in Iowa doing chores, driving tractors and playing in a creek. That’s why I love going to the Warrenton Show in Texas so much, it reminds me of home when I’m out in those dirt fields. I’ve never minded working hard and getting dirty. I never minded helping my Mom deliver lunch to those “young muscular helping hands” that my Dad hired during hay baling season either!! It was a great place to grow up and I have such fond memories, something my sons will never really know or experience since we live in CA.
- I am passionate about old things. If it’s new, I probably don’t want it! Old ironstone, I LOVE IT. Not the perfect stuff though, the pieces that I like are crazed, showing some wear, or have a few brown spots. OMG! I just realized it reminds me of myself!! I can't go long without shopping for old treasures or I need a fix, it's a sickness that I don't want a cure for. It makes me happy!
- I can’t sing! I’m good for about two or three words on key and then something terrible happens! I’m not tone deaf, I just know I can’t carry a lofty tune. I will sing happy birthday but don’t ever ask me to Karaoke unless I’ve had a few too many!
- I love coffee. First thing in the morning, there is nothing that makes me happier. I brew it~ just right~ and my husband fixes our first cup…..he knows juuuust how I like it, with coffee mate and sugar. Yes, I said coffee mate. What the heck is that stuff anyway? If you haven’t ever read the ingredient label—Don’t!! I have tried to wean myself off of it but after a while I always seem to go back. It’s all that fake preservative stuff that makes it taste so good.
- P.s My husband and two boys are the loves of my life, when they are happy, I’m happy! I thank God for them everyday...

Hi Debra :)
Great meme and a perfect thing to do when you're first starting out so that people can get to know you better. I'm curious how you ended up out west. I'm considered an odd ball here because I was born there and left to come out here LOL
Anyway, thank you for your sweet comment :)

You and I are definately kindred spirits with the coffee thing. I can't do without my coffee mate. Never looked at the ingredients, because that's the one indulgence I allow myself, daily of course. Thanks for letting us know more about you!!
Great job. I couldn't even figure out how to put the award on my blog the first time. You're going to be a quick learner. I love Coffee Mate(the creamer in the dairy aisle, not the powdered). It makes even a bad cup go down. Debbie
Thanks for the award!

Hey Debra, about the bathtub? I'm guessing its more often the Sangria. We've had quite a few conversations(over the phone...might I add) while you were sitting in tub sipping... oops.. I mean soaking.

Hi Debra :)
Of course you can add me! I'm going to add you, so it's only fair, right? ;)
I loved the story about how you both met and why you moved out there. It makes me happy to hear about true love. It could be a movie!
Have a fantastic weekend :)

Debra, I really enjoyed learning more things about you. You're definitely not alone on the Coffee Mate ~ I not only put it in my coffee, I put it in my hot tea too, English style! And thanks for tagging me. It may take me a while, but I will get to it.
