Chats on the Porch

Again this week I am joining the Farmhouse Chats hosted by  Patrice at Everyday Ruralty.

I abandoned my Sis at the beach tonight.  I battled a headache all day and just couldn't drag myself out to the cottage.  Instead I took a nap.  I feel a little better now so here we go with Patrice's questions

1.  Do you exercise?
Hahahaha,  NO.  I know I should and have tried to get into an exercise routine many many times, but it just fails. 

2.   What's your favorite type of party or get together?
Any kind of get together with family and friends is fine by me.  Good friends, food, laughter - perfect.

3.   What's your favorite kind of melon?
Cantaloupe I suppose.  I even had a tasty cantaloupe and cracked pepper salad recently.  Sounds strange but tasted wonderful.

4.  Do you ever go to a farmers' market?
I love Farmer's Markets.  Everything looks so fresh and colorful.  The trouble is things look so yummy I often buy more than I can eat. 

5.  Would you prefer a series of day trips, or a week's vacation?
Since Mom's illness, day trips seem to be the most practical.  However I am in desperate need of a good relaxing week anywhere sooner than later!   A quiet spot and a few books for a week would be heaven.

Tonight on my way home from work I grabbed the latest Rug Hooking Magazine.  I'm going to flip pages for inspiration. 

Not much progress on the red flower rug.  Just more of the same background.

  1. It just amazes me you can go in a store and pick up a rug hooking magazine. That is so cool. I liked your answers. I think the cantaloupe and cracked pepper salad sounds wonderful. I hope you feel better and you get to rest a bit. I can't wait to see your rug.

  5. Love the cartoon!The cantaloupe salad sound unusual. I feel fortunate if we can squeeze in a day trip. Sometimes just flipping through a new magazine seems like a mini vacation. Have a good week!

  11. A girl after my own heart, I swear.....Love the cartoon....but I do a few more than five sit-ups each morning. ;o My neighbor recently hooked me on putting salt on my cantaloupe. Yeah - good way to un-healthify a perfectly healthy food - but it truly brings on the sweetness like you wouldn't believe. I'll have to try cracked pepper....I come from a long line of pepper freaks... Smiles & Hugs ~ Robin
