I'd like to introduce you to a new friend. This is Isabel. She is the new baby (puppy) of our farm intern and his wife. She's a ten week old Bernese Mountain Dog, with huge puppy paws and cuteness that reaches out and grabs your heart. I covet their puppy. There is no way we could fit another pet into our lives, so I will have to be happy living vicariously through Isabel's puppyhood! What a sweet, adorable dog!

Isabel, after I met her.
Questions for our chat:
- What was your biggest fear as a child?
- How old were you when you learned to cook? Or how old will you be when you learn to cook?
- Did you have a favorite book as a child? What was it?
- What's the busiest time of year for you?
- Have you ever won a contest?
My answers-
- I was afraid of something under my bed, so I'd check each night before I got in, and jump a few feet away from the bed when I got out so "it" couldn't grab my ankles. <chuckle>
- I was nine when I learned to cook, but I wasn't good at a full meal until I was 12. My mom bailed out on cooking the minute she figured out that I could do it myself. I hung in the kitchen to avoid some adults. You can read about that here.
- Charlotte's Web and Secret Garden were favorites.
- Summer is really busy on a farm that does farmers' markets.
- In third grade I won a spelling contest and got a case of Reese Peanut Butter Cups. About ten years ago I won an art contest and got a prize bag with lots of gift certificates and small prizes. Sorry that I don't have pictures to share right now. I need a backhoe to go through my photos to find that one!
Have a great week and please come back for a visit next week!
O.M.G! Isabel is precious!!! and Charlotte's Web was one of my favorites too - as well as the Trixie Beldon series...
ReplyDeleteI WANT HER! Tucker is in love! Bring her and Wendell to me! Please?!
ReplyDeleteDon't ever recall winning a contest. Started cooking when I was about ten and have loved it ever since. Just don't have enough time lately to do it!
ReplyDeleteoooOOOoooo! A brief glimpse behind the curtain! I bet you had that reeses stored and shared them sparingly - i know I would lol!
ReplyDeleteTotally understand about the backlog of photos - backhoe is an understatement, sister lol!
That puppy is SOO cute!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cutie!!! I bet he will bring a lot of fun times to your farm!
ReplyDeleteIsabel is adorable! For now!
ReplyDelete1. The HAND roaming around my bedroom looking for me.
2. About 8 years old, macaroni and cheese, fish sticks, grilled cheese sandwiches. My dad gladly ate everything I burned...he said he loved the "charred" flavor.
3. Madeline and Miss Piggly Wiggly
4. Holiday is busy --- our large families make it extremely hectic.
5. As a young child...A photography contest in which my grandmother was head photographer. And "Rookie of the Year" for RE/MAX. Stefie said I won "Best Mother" contest (in her heart) which is the BEST winning I've EVER HAD!
What a cute puppy, I am with you on wanting that puppy too.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed your answers.I am glad those were your favorite books.
I like the contest you won and I think you come up with such great questions.
I will do mine after I cook dinner. :)
Tucker's trainer raises Bernese Mountain dogs. She almost always brought a pup to class, sometimes mom or dad, or daughter. The dogs are immense... so laid back and so cute! I don't blame you for coveting!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute and adorable puppy. she just melts my heart looking at her.
ReplyDeleteI love your question but it's been a long day and I must hit the bed as it's way pass my bedtime. JB
Your answer to #1 could be mine word for word! LOL I think i saw too many scary movies when I was young.
ReplyDelete-I didn't learn to cook til after I was married ( my poor hubby) but I love to cook now!
-My favorite books were the Velveteen Rabbit and Nancy Drew and I too loved the Secret Garden :)
-My busiest time of the year is now when the homeschooling gets juggled with my job outside of the home
-I won a photo contest as a teen :)
This was fun thanks!
Isabel is so precious!!! Thanks, sweet Lady, for hosting and letting me join in!!! HOPE the rest of your week is great and you have a wonderful Labor Day weekend!!!
ReplyDeleteSo SO SO SO SO cute! She looks very soft and fluffy!
ReplyDeleteOh, I wish I could just reach out and touch her. She's a gorgeous little girl. A real heart-stealer!
ReplyDeleteGreat chat-starters this week!
What a cute puppy! I would love to have one, but living in the city I just don't feel right about having to keep an animal on a leash or pinned up.
ReplyDeleteI'm a day late with my visit, but at least I'm here now. =D
Awe, that puppy is too darn cute!
ReplyDelete1. What was your biggest fear as a child? I feared dying the most. Before I met Christ, I had no open of eternal life.
2. How old were you when you learned to cook? Or how old will you be when you learn to cook? I didn't really cook until after I was married. I did not grow up to have my mom in the home.
3. Did you have a favorite book as a child? What was it? I am sure I did, but really can't remember what it was called.
4. What's the busiest time of year for you? Every day is busy for me, but I would definately say November/December are crazy!
5. Have you ever won a contest? I took 1st place in a roller skating competition way back in the day!
