I'm departing from my usual friday five with RevGals today. Ordinarily the questions posed there take me out of where I spend my day to day. This week's ff, however, is where I've been all week! So today I'm borrowing questions from another blog to which I was recently introduced, Chronicles of a Country Girl. (Jayne, you will love the bird pictures!) Her questions from a few days ago:
When was the last time someone gave you flowers?
That would have been a tough one if Valentine's Day hadn't just occurred! Ken used to surprise me from time to time with flowers, but difficult times have robbed him of indulging in that gesture. I occasionally receive flowers from others, out of the blue, but it's been awhile since that has happened.
What do you like in a cup of coffee or tea?
Ah, this one is a no-brainer: In my coffee I've got to have half-and-half. And something with which to sweeten. Presently I use Splenda.
What do you like on a baked potato?
Cool question! Anything that has liquid to it so the potato can soak up the flavor: chili, salsa (I have a great recipe for a salsa with black beans and corn that is fab!); curry... you get the idea.
What is something you really need to accomplish this weekend?
Self-care. I haven't had a day off from work-related matters in over a week, and I'm a part-timer! Even this weekend I have a meeting and a training session on Saturday, sermon prep, and then work on Sunday, of course. I would sneak off to the library to read, but while the Olympics are on I love to watch them. I'll probably be in front of the TV a good bit.
What are you most likely to be doing when you’re up in the late, late hours of the night?
I haven't been a night owl in a very long time, and if I'm up late these days it's because of heartburn! To pass the time I generally work on crossword puzzles. I totally lose track of time while doing them and before I know it, I feel better and I'm ready to head back to bed. On other occasions if I'm late it's to tend to a dog.

I love black bean & corn salsa - I need to remember to make some in the near future. It's yummy & good for you...
My natural rhythm is to stay up late & sleep late - something I've not been able to do for MANY years. But sometimes it sneaks up on me - earlier this week we went to bed after midnight after watching the Olympics. But then I had to get up at 5:30 the next morning - that's NOT enough sleep for me!
Good questions! Love your answers and loved the blog too. Really beautiful photos. Have a wonderful weekend my friend. XOXO
Happy Weekend dear Anne!
This was fun! Down here in south TX, we like to put barbecued chopped beef on a baked potato. Normally, I like butter and sour cream (FAT, FAT, Fat). Sorry about the heartburn. I'm impressed that you do crossword puzzles to pass the time away at night.
AND what a great picture of McKinlee!! (Good name, too)
