---------------------------------------------------------------

My Answers!

1. What is your favorite way to eat potatoes?
With a fork. I'm not a huge fan of potatoes but Angus is! If I had to choose it would be KFC's potato & gravy.


2. What was the last package that was delivered to your house?
It was a little itsy bitsy blue-tooth dongle that Mark bought on ebay. It arrived this morning.

3. What is your favorite scent that you love to smell?
I have two favourites. Its freshly baked bread and the smell of rain on a warm day.



4. Do you smoke?
No but I reckon my boys may think smoke comes out of my ears when I get really ticked off with them though.


5. Are your parents married or divorced?
My parents were still married when Mum passed away a little over 10 years ago. Had she still been alive they would have celebrated 57 years together this year. Mum told me they were married in 1953 but I know they weren't. She & Dad got married in 1957 a few months after my sister Julie was born. But we'll keep that quiet between us okay because I don't want to embarrass my Dad, not that he nor any of my family ready my blog ...

I love the cartoon of smoke coming out of the guys ears! very nice picture of your parents!
Happy Monday!

Thanks Rebecca :)

Thanks Shawn. That was the only photo I knew I had of my parents together that was on the computer. It was taken back in the late 1950's or the early 1960's. They sure looked happy there :)

Sandra Nachlinger said...

LOVE your photos. That basket of bread made me almost reconsider cinnamon as my favorite scent. I also enjoyed your creative interpretation of the "do you smoke?" question.

Thanks for your comment on my blog, too. (http://iousex.blogspot.com)

You're not a fan of potatoes?!!! WOW! I think potatoes are "the other white meat"!!! LOL I LOVE them ANY way they're made!!...Bread, on the other hand, I can take it or leave it. I'm not bread's biggest fan...even though my hubby works for "THE" bread company here. Shhhhhh! ^_^

Jo-anne Blossy said...

Thanks Sandy Ruth. Cinnamon is such a great smell :)

Poetess, I think you and Angus would get along just fine! He thinks potatoes are the BEST vegetable ever! I love bread and bread rolls but it can't be plain old white bread (unless its got poppy seeds or sesame seeds). I love breads with the different seeds, sour dough, wholemeal, pumpkin bread, corn bread. I could go on and on. Its all yummy! And the fresher the better :)

Mary said...

Bread baking and the rain...2 wonderful smells! I especially love the way the rain smells in the mountains...everything smells so clean and fresh!
Thanks for stopping by!

Jo-anne Blossy said...

You are absolutely right Mary. Rain in the mountains smells very refreshing!

Sorry to hear about your lovely mum, that's a gorgeous photograph. 57 years is a long time, but 47 years is also. My dad died nearly 10 years ago and it causes a lot of emptiness inside.

Also, I love KFC gravy with chips!!

Found you on Meet Me On Monday.

Good point about smoking- I think with that I must be a chain smoker! :)

Jo-anne Blossy said...

47 years sure is a long time Crystal Jigsaw. I know what you mean about the emptiness. Although that feeling has lessened somewhat over time but its still there.
Oh and dunking the chips from KFC into the potato & gravy is delicious!

jengd I am sure I must have looked like that at one stage myself :)

Kate Campbell said...

Smoke coming out of your ears - lol.

KFC does have some good mashes. Happy Monday!

Unknown said...

I too love the smell of rain on a warm day - that special damp dust smell =)

Empty Nester said...

My parents would have been married 50 years last October...had they bothered to stay married. Love your smoke reference! LOL

Vicki said...

Great answers! I love the smell of fresh baked bread too ... cookie and well, probably most baked goods. Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment.
Have a great week!
~Vicki~

Lila said...

Ha smoke comes out of my ears too (I am sure of it)lol.

Happy Monday.

Unknown said...

with a fork! now that's funny!

Jo-anne Blossy said...

Kat, I couldn't help it :D lol

Kia, You know exactly what I mean :)

Thanks EmptyNester.

Vicki, I think I would have to expand that to most baked goods. When Angus bakes a cake it makes the house smell really nice :)

lol Bella perhaps it does :)

Thanks Beverly :)

Stephanie V said...

Hard to keep a good family secret down! Lovely photo - and great answers.

Jo-anne Blossy said...

Thanks Stephanie V. You're right about the family secret except I think I was the last one to find out. I'm sure all my brothers & sisters knew about it.

Ronalee said...

Jo-anne Blossy said...
