And, here we are, the 2nd Wednesday of the new year and before we turn around, it will be the last one. Time certainly does fly and not just when you are having fun. ~smile~
1. When were you last a guest at an event or in someone's home? Tell us about it. Do you enjoy having guests in your own home?
Our last time to be guests in someone's home was last September when we went to see Tommy's sisters in the Atlanta area. We have been other places since then but we stayed in a hotel. Tommy's sister and brother in law are the most gracious of host and hostesses. They have lovely guest accomodations and it's a delight to be in their home.
This is the wall art that our guests see as they enter our guest suite. Adding this private guest suite to our house plan was such a great decision and is enjoyed by our family and friends. We do enjoy having guests and hope that they always feel welcome and enjoy their time here.
2. What has you 'tied up in knots' currently or recently? Are you any good at tying actual knots?
I think a lot of our country is "tied up in knots" over our country's unrest. I don't even know what to say but, I know that we as Christians had better be on our knees calling upon the Lord.
As to me tying a good knot...........well, my husband is a pro at tying all kinds of knots and I usually leave the knot tying to him.
3. What's something you've been wanting to do and have decided 2021 will be the year you 'take the plunge'?
Hummmm...........I can't think of a thing but, I have a love affair when it comes to
One would think that I could not possibly do any more organizing in our home but I seem to always be able to find something else that could be better organized. This has been especially true since Covid hit last March. Organizing and cleaning out have become my past time these past months.
4. Something in your home that's old? Something new? Something borrowed? Something blue?
I am pretty sure these are the oldest items in our home. This was my paternal Grandfather's pipe bowl and 3 of his pipes. This bowl set on a small table beside his rocking chair for as long as I can remember. I loved the smell of pipe smoke and can still smell it when I look at this. It is setting out on some built in shelves we have and I see it everyday. It is well over 100 years old. And, I hope it is something that my kids will choose to keep when I am gone from this world.
I LOVE handmade pottery and I love birds. These pieces are brand new. I found both of them from artisans off of Etsy. The workmanship is perfection.
I can't think of a thing that is borrowed but the blue would be the two dishes above. I do have other decor that is blue as well. I'm a fan of grey blue.
5. Share a favorite quote, a verse of scripture, and/or a bit of wisdom for couples getting married in this challenging and seemingly unpredictable season we're currently/still experiencing.
This is just the greatest verse for all mankind, not just married couples. Now, if we could just get folks to live by this, especially "love is kind.." But, I think we first have to LOVE and therein lies a lot of our country's issues.
