early November.

 

 

I took this photo a few years ago when visiting

It is such a beautiful place,

 

and I recommend visiting if you

 

have the opportunity.

My Favorite Flavor Is Rum Raisin

 

 

My question for today is

 

what is your favorite flavor

 

of ice cream.

 

 

I am not really much of an "ice cream person",

 

but when I do want ice cream,

 

I want Haagen-Dazs Rum Raisin.

 

Those plump and rum flavored raisins

 

in that creamy coolness

 

are heaven to my tastebuds.

 

 

While pondering ice cream,

 

I thought of this great guy

 

I used to work with that would

 

bring in pumpkin ice cream pies

 

for the entire department

 

every year.

 

 

Maybe I should try to find some

 

pumpkin ice cream.

 

After all, it is the pumpkin time of year.

 

Pumpkin Spice Lattes

 

Pumpkin Doughnuts

 

Pumpkin Muffins

 

Pumpkin Bread

 

Pumpkin Soup ...

 

 

You name it.  Pumpkin everything.

 

 

So ... now my what is your favorite flavor

 

ice cream question has changed to

 

 

What do you like made with pumpkin?

Today I am joining Kim for Wow Us Wednesday

at Savvy Southern Style.

 

What's My Question Wednesday

 

 

My question for the day is

 

 

Do you rearrange your furniture?

 

 

I confess I do not.

 

 

Once I get my main pieces placed to suit me,

 

they tend to stay.

 

I do, however, like to tweak my decor on occasion.

 

What's My Question Wednesday

 

 

My question for the day is

 

 

how do you shop?

 

 

 

brand or price?

 

 

 

 

I do both.

 

 

I only want these paper towels.

 

I only want this peanut butter.

 

I only want this ketchup.

I only want this aluminum foil.

 

Until recently I only used this toilet tissue.

 

But my son told me about this,

and it now has my seal of approval.

 

 

What's My Question Wednesday

 

 

My question for the day is

 

 

what good books

 

 

 

have you read lately?

 

 

 

 

I just finished reading Low Country Boil.

 

 

This is the debut novel for

Susan M. Boyer,

and it was a good read.

This is the first book in

the Liz Talbot Mystery Series.

The second book in this series

should be released next month,

and the third is in the works.

 

What's My Question Wednesday

 

 

My question for the day is

 

 

do you have fond

 

 

 

back to school memories?

 

 

 

 

I loved school when I was a kid, and I was

in my glory with all new school supplies.

 

 

Then when my son started school, it was

just as wonderful.  I took a first day of

school picture of him standing next to our

front door every year until he started

believing it wasn't "cool".

 

 

Now I get excited for my grandson.

 

 

 

What's My Question Wednesday

 

 

 

 

 

My question for the day is

 

 

do you keep fresh

 

 

 

flowers in your home?

 

 

 

 

I usually have something blooming

 

 

in our yard that I can bring inside.

 

 

These hydrangeas are from

 

 

our now massive bush.
