And Here’s Bonnie!
I will answer the questions but I won’t start my own blog. Good grief, girl, I spend enough time at the computer already!
What was I doing 10 years ago:
Playing Nurse Nancy….my husband had recently had a heart valve replaced and we were both learning lots of new stuff.
I was still driving trucks during harvest…hauling corn silage and sugar beets through town from both directions as we had farms on both sides of town.
5 years ago:
I had transformed into SUPER GRANDMA! Also had begun my current career of “driving Miss Daisy.” No longer doing the physical farm work but very involved with grandchildren and helping elderly family members.
1 year ago:
A lot like today…still doing the farm business, cooking, yard work, a little cleaning when I can’t get out of it, running after people and stuff.
Yesterday:
Helped both my 89 year old mother and 85 year old aunt. Bought groceries. Took the boss to get the truck that was supposed to be repaired but wasn’t. Sold straw to the new doctor who is working on his lawn. Furnished snacks and drinks for three grandson types. Helped ferry a pick up to son who was doing some custom baling about half way to Thermopolis. Had a sandwich at Arby’s for supper. Watered the poor flowers. Etc.
5 snacks I enjoy:
chocolate, chocolate, chocolate, chocolate, chocolate.
5 songs I know all the words to:
America the Beautiful, This Land is My Land, Itsy Bitsy Spider, MICKEY MOUSE, Love Letters in the Sand……Now how is that for variety?
5 things I would do with 100 million:
We have always said that if we had a million, we would farm until it was all gone. I don’t think we will live long enough to farm up 100 million so….
1. Take a vacation, if I could get the boss to come along.
2. Have somebody clean house every week.
3. Share with our family and friends. (Probably have lots of friends, huh?)
4. Give the local library an endowment.
5. Rewrite my will.
5 locations I would like to run away to: (Only if I could come back)
1. Hawaii
2. Branson
3. Nashville
5 bad habits I have:
1. Waste too much time on computer
2. Eat too much
3. Keep too much junk
4. Put off doing things that I know I will have to do anyway
5. Complaining…I really have it pretty good
5 things I like doing (Not necessarily in this order)
1. Surfing the net
2. Tending flowers
3. Visiting with friends
4. Reading
5. Spending time with grandchildren
5 things I would never wear:
1. mini skirt
2. bikini
3. leather pants
4. plastic shoes
5. heavy jewelry
5 tv shows I like:
Don’t watch much tv. If the boss goes to bed early I usually turn to HGTV.
6 biggest joys of the moment:
Alfred, Philip, Cassie, Blake, Lily, Jade
5 favorite toys:
Compaq, Equinox, library card,

What’s HGTV?
I like your joys. I think that you should get a Super Grandma cape!

HGTV….House and Garden Network in case that is a serious question. I like to see how the pros make over some of the old houses and I especially like to see how they do the yards.
A/C would have been nice again today. bonnie

Hi Bonnie! Thanks - I really didn’t know what HGTV was. We have ABC, NBC, CBS, for some reason FOX and if the wind isn’t blowing we can sometimes view PBS.
