Waiting for Patience

--- 1 --- Well, I promised I'd share some photos from my trip to Texas, so here we go! This is the view from my Aunt's porch. As soon as we got to the house on Tuesday, I had to sit outside and take in the view. I remember it being amazing, but it was even more incredible than I recalled! We spent a lot of time out here on the porch!  The fire and the View!   --- 2 --- One day we went into San Antonio to the Aquarium (not amazing), the oldest cathedral in Texas (beautiful), the riverwalk (lovely), and dinner at the Tower of Americas (delicious)! cute little sea horsies Just amazing - they have confession every day all day long! How cool! The view at dinner - from 63 stories up! Celebrating my birthday with Aunt Char & Uncle Joe --- 3 --- Another day we took a drive to see the wildflowers.

Welcome to this week's edition of Answer Me This  ... thanks Kendra for hosting!  It's been fun this past few weeks, I'm sad we won't be getting together regularly for this cocktail party! 1. What is your favorite picture book? I don't have an answer to this question - since I don't read to children on a regular basis, I don't really have any opportunities to read picture books on a regular basis to get a favorite. 2. Are you a boycotter? I can be, but only one company right now.  Johnson & Johnson because I think they are crazy if they think that they can make money from babies AND from selling contraceptives.  I know that there are many other companies who sell products that I disagree with, have stands that are opposite of mine, and who are vocal about it - but well, I, personally, cannot boycott the world. 3. How do you feel about cheese? Um, what kind of question is this? I love cheese, maybe too much!  The smellier and stranger the ...
