Alright, it's official...I'm totally losin' it! I thought I had answered ALL of the questions you'd asked, until I looked at my posts and found a draft...of some questions I have yet to answer! Please bear with me...there are only a few!
My good friend, Deb, wanted to know several things about me. First of all, she asked, "What is your favorite vegetable? Hands down...Yellow SQUASH! I love it fried in cornmeal! It's the only way to go! Also, "What is your favorite fruit?" STRAWBERRIES...sprinkled lightly with sugar! Finally, "What are 3 things you like about your physical appearance?" Wow...now Deb's really pushing it! LOL! If I have to pick something, I guess I'll say I like it that I'm petite (better word than SHORT!), I think I have decent upper arms, and I like my brown eyes. Woah, I'm sweating bullets now! Lastly, "What are 3 things you like about yourself (not physical appearance)? Well, I consider myself to be a very loyal friend. I cherish LIFE and every single day I've been blessed with. Hmm...I think I have a good sense of humor and I have the ability to laugh at myself!
My sweet friend, Jennifer, wanted to know, "Where do you see yourself/your life five years from now? maybe ten (but who can think that far!?!?) Oh, is that ever tough! Five years from now, I'll probably be feeling very relieved that Brittany made it through college...and I survived those 4 years! Of course, by that time, Abby will be heading off to college, and the whole cycle will begin, again! In ten years, I'm sure I'll still be happily married and, just maybe, I'll have some grandbabies to love on and spoil rotten!
OK, that should do it this time! I am so sorry if I've overlooked anyone; it certainly wasn't intentional! My ol' noggin isn't working too well these days!
Thought I'd share a fun outing we went on this past Sunday after church. We got a bucket of chicken and headed for the hills of the north Georgia mountains. The drive was so pretty! We ended up just outside of Dahlonega and went tubing down the Chattahoochee River! We grabbed our tubes and plopped down in the cold, but refreshing water and off we went!
It was so relaxing! There were some small rapids that gave us an added element of excitement...of course, it didn't feel so great when my rumpus dragged across the rocks! I didn't particularly care for it when my tube veered off to the side and landed me in a real yucky area that made me worry that snakes were lurking nearby. Oh, Chris and the girls thought it was hilarious! Not to mention when we got ready to get out of the water to head home and I decided to jump in and walk to shore. Well, when I did, the water nearly went over my head! I turned around and Abby was laughing hysterically at me! I'm so glad my family gets so much humor out of watching me make a bozo out of myself!
Here's a picture of the girls that I snapped with Brittany's camera when we were all done.

I love squash but I like my sauteed with cavenders seasoning.
My family does this thing where they make fun of every thing I do. They love to tease me like that....'cause I'm always making a bozo out of myself, too!
Squash...I don't even know if I have ever tasted squash!

I love squash too! My husband planted some in our garden. Yum.
I would love to be petite too! I'm NOT, but it would be nice. AND I would love to have nice upper arms -- I DON'T, but it would be nice. lol I don't mind my green eyes. My daughter has beautiful brown eyes like her Daddy.
What a fun day you had April. I just love summer family outings so much!
I like yellow squash too; I have a recipe for a casserole that's soo good.
I'm a squash girl, too, and I like mine parboiled, then split down the middle and cooked with butter, salt and pepper... maybe a little onion or in a casserole with cheese. I just love squash!
And I love your blog, April. Thanks for the morning chuckle...
XO,
Sheila :-)
Squash is yummy! Now you have me in the mood for it - lol! I'll need to go looking for some new recipes. Isn't it great that you provide so much humor for your family? tee hee!!
More great answers.
What a beautiful day~
Blessings~

Ooohh I love fried squash too, April! Heck- I love anything fried! LOL And strwberries are my favorite- Hubby doesn't care for them too much which is fine- it just means I can hog them all to myself!
The bucket of chicken and a road trip sounds like my kind of fun- going tubing in this hot weather is really great, isn't it?
your family is beautiful!
i won the giveaway? oh my gosh! this was a lovely way to start the morning! thank you!
Strawberries sprinkled "lightly"... oh heck no... mine are SMOOTHERED in sugar!! Still healthy?
YUMMY!squash, now I am in the mood for it!
It sounds like y'all had a wonderful outing!!
April,
Thanks for answering my questions...even the hard ones...I love squash also...
I have really enjoyed your Q&A posts. It's been fun learning so much about you!!
Tubing sounds like a lot of fun. I'm too chicken to get into water that isn't contained in a pool and loaded with chlorine!!
Squash yum! Tubing is fun huh!
Your posts are always so refreshing : ) I love your list of great things about you. I like your pretty brown eyes too. They are always smiling. Tubing sounds like lots of fun!
Hi April
Do you know, I have never tried squash? Will have to try it now!
The tubing sounded wonderful until you mentioned the possibility of snakes. I never thought of that. Sounded a fun way to spend Sunday afternoon. Great pictures and wonderful memories.

Thanks for catching my question...I'd almost forgotten about it :) And in ten years...you will the cutest grandma? (Mimi at our house here!) around!!
My kids loved squash as babies, but it's not something I eat, so I don't think they've had it since, lol. Loved the pics of the girl, beautiful and photogenic as always!
