Tuesday Tea Talk

It's Tuesday and my friend Jamie Jo is hosting Tea Talk.....

1.  Where do you like to go to have fun?
I like to take the kids to the zoo,  all our family likes to picnic and hike/walk through nature, we love playing in/around Lake Superior...     as far as 'Mommy Time' fun - even though I don't often buy anything, I looove to go antiquing!   


2. What songs always make you happy?

I like a couple of the good ol' hits from musicals:  My Favorite Things (Sound of Music), Shall We Dance (King & I)...  as well as a lot of '80's songs, and almost any Bon Jovi song!  :-)  

But the ones that keep me singing all day long are my favorites from church... Immaculate Mary, Regina Caeli, Lead Me Lord, God We Bless You, Glory and Praise to Our God, Sing to the Mountains, Now We Remain, You Are Mine, Be Not Afraid, We Are Called... enough yet?

3. What is the first thing you notice when meeting someone for the first time? 

I notice two things:  their eyes (you can tell a lot about a person by looking in their eyes)......  and also whether they actually concentrate on the conversation you're having (distracted? uninterested?).

4. What was your favorite sitcom growing up?

I'm showing my age.....   Bewitched.  I wished I could be like Samantha Stevens and just wiggle my nose to get things to happen.  Wouldn't that be amazing?  I loved Endora and her inability to call Darren by his correct name.  Deerwood! So funny.

5. What is beauty? (a deep question)  

Hmm.  Beauty is...

a newborn baby.  And a mother nursing it.  Trying to see things (as near as we can, anyway) as God sees them.  To do all that we do with love; to 'see' someone with our hearts.

The ability of long-married folks who can look at each other and communicate without saying a word, like my grandparents did.  The sunrise over Lake Superior.  A sunset over the mountains in New Mexico.

I thank you for hosting, Jamie Jo.  I enjoyed our visit.  Sure hope I can make it again next week... and until then, Blessings to you!
