Today's Question(s):

What was the last thing you "Volunteered" for that maybe you wish you hadn't ?

I got volunteered to provide the flowers for the alter this Sunday.....that was a bit of a hassle since I was going to be out of town.....but I made a fall dry arrangement and set it in place earlier in the week. It all worked out....(as far as I know.)

I also got volunteered to bake for the social hour after church the first Sunday in November...I am sure that will work out ok too; but it does put a little pressure on me.

Just For Fun :

What is your favorite way to see eggs on your plate ?

I like them fried and turned just lightly and on the plate with the yolk unbroken but soft.
If they are sitting on a buttered toast .... or portion of rice....or beside a serving of grits....thats all good!
Who is the one person or persons you would love to see "beat a path to your door" ?

We have good friends who live in Wisconsin....it would be fun if they beat a path to our door. They are easy people to have visit.....low maintainence.

NAY!!!!! I hope you don't it would be pronounced Quack....not entirely flattering and visually I think it is awkward.....I really like "Karla with a K"

And I never take my husband, unless he decides he'd like to go along. Those things are painful for most spouses.

This is what I have heard about reunions:

10th: what are you doing? This is what I am doing...
20th: how are you? It's been great to reconnect
30th: OMG it is so good to see you again...remember when....
