Random Tidbits

Remember when you were a kid in school and you met someone new? The first thing kids always seem to want to know is what your favorite color is. So here are some tidbits about me and what my favorite things are.

My favorite colors are all shades of pink, purple, blue and green.

I love to do arts and crafts. Beaded jewelry, cross stitch, portrait and still life sketching, trying to knit, scrapbooking and embroidery are favorites. My dining room table is usually a mess because that's where I create. It is a place where I can have something cooking on the stove, answer the phone or door, keep an eye on my son Shaun and let the doggies in and out while still being able to run back and forth to craft and create!

I am the youngest of eight children though I barely know my older siblings. Of the eight of us only four remain as the others are hopefully living in heaven with our precious Mama and Daddy.

I have nieces, nephews, and great nieces and nephews that I have never met and probably never will. No, we are not a close family. Sad, but true. That's the way it is sometimes when one chooses the Christian road while others in the family do not.

I was raised on a farm and have always wanted to return to farm living and get out of the city. Maybe one day soon I will talk my New York husband into it.

I am an animal lover extraordinaire! I have had pets since my first birthday when one of my older brothers brought a tiny puppy to me in his coat pocket as my birthday present. His name, by the way, was Mac and he grew to be huge. I loved him for sixteen years and he probably saved my life when I was a very little girl as another big dog came after me. Mac fought the dog and I was able to run home.

Presently I share life with one darling husband, two precious sons, one sweetie pie daughter in law, one feisty little twelve year old cat, and two cute and playful long haired dachshunds.

I do not enjoy cooking but know we must eat healthy whole foods to thrive so I try to sing my way through the dinner prep and cooking. Breakfast and lunch are much easier.

I have girlfriends today that I have loved and enjoyed since elementary school.

I have dark green eyes like my daddy did and long slim fingers that can easily reach a full octive on the piano like my mama's did.

I am left handed like my daddy was though I do not hold my pen nearly upside down when I write like he did.

Like my mama, I turned completely gray in my early forties.

I love Jesus Christ with all my heart. He is my life and I am eternally grateful to Him for saving me.

My favorite foods are broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage and collard greens. Yum! For dessert, ice cream, which I do not allow myself to enjoy too often.

I love to go to bed early and get up early. Early to bed and early to rise. Right, Ben Franklin?

I did not meet my sweet hubby until I was thirty years old. We were married when he was thirty one and I was thirty two.

I love to read my Bible, especially early in the morning and late at night when the house is quiet and still. My iPad is now a favorite way to study and read His everlasting and life giving Word of truth.

I used to work at a newpaper in the advertising department and in a real estate office before becoming a full time homemaker and mother.

I love music and you can hear it playing in my home most of the time, especially contemporary Christian. My favorites are Chris Tomlin, Hillsong, Passion Band, Paul Baloche, Rita Springer, just to name a very few. I have an enormous CD collection.

Well, that's probably all you have time to read about me, so, I will end another tidbit post.


It's all about Jesus,
Sandy
