What a great list...I'm thinking of linking up to the party, but time is required to do these things, so it may be nearer the end of the week...we'll see! :)

I found it interesting that you are like Lucy and your hubby is Ricky...funny! But you do not have red hair...maybe Lucy didn't either! :)

Your grandkids are adorable...your blog is very pretty!

What a blessing to be the Lord's! That is something that I can totally relate to.

Have a great week!

Hi Susan!
Thanks for stopping by my blog. :) Your blog is beautiful. Danielle does great work. :) She's the one who designed my mom's blog the first time--it made me realize how much I wanted to get into web design, and I've been a glutton for knowledge ever since! Ha! ^_^

Father of the Bride is a fantastic movie! I'm a sucker for warm fuzzy 90's movies. heehee. :) And you think Mrs. Doubtfire dates you? The movie that makes me laugh harder than anything else is Dumb and Dumber, and it came out the year after I was born (and a year after Mrs. Doubtfire was released). lol! In case you haven't noticed, I'm a bit of a movie geek. I absolutely LOVE movies!

Ooh! You're dramatic like Lucy and your husband's name is Ricky!!! I love it! :D

Hope you're having a lovely day!
--Abigail

Thanks for letting me know more about you.

Stephanie said...

What a charming place to visit! It is very warm and comfortable! I love Mrs. Doubtfire myself! I could watch it over and over (and I have!) and laugh just as hard each time! Thanks for the comments, and thanks for opening your blog for the party!

Nati @ I will praise Him said...

Thanks for your sweet comment. And YES, you look like your sister!

And and for the snacks, yeah, those would work for me too if plain chocolate wasn't available lol

Kelly said...

Linda said...

Hi Susan, I am Lynnette's mom. I am reading some of the posts today from last weeks blog party since I was on Vacation and couldn't join in.

I enjoyed your answers and pictures too. You do look like your sister and both of you are so pretty.

I can tell you are a loving grandma and totally crazy about each one of those granddaughters and now a grandson. We have had 14grandkids, but 3 of them are living in heaven with Jesus. I love being a granny!

I think I will become your follower and come back to read some more about You and Ricky and your 5 sons and 4 grandkids! ((smile))

God's continued blessings on you and yours!
Linda @ Truthful Tidbits

the monkeys' mama said...

it was so fun getting to know you! I wish I could have commented under every question.

Your grandchildren are gorgeous!

Yes, you look so much like your sister--more than my twin and i look like sisters!

I, too, love Mrs. Doubtfire. My twin and I still quote "It was a drive-by fruiting" and "Lola, get back in your cell! Don't make me use the hose"...All. The. Time. Love it!
