  1. Glad you decided to play along! I always learn something about a blog friend while doing these. John loves crab cakes, too! You and I are about the same height and have been married about the same # of years. I had no idea you had traveled so extensively and I enjoyed seeing all of your pets thru the years. Louise was my maternal grandma's middle name. Enjoy your day!

  6. I love this idea. It's always nice to learn a little more about the people behind the blog. And we seem to have the same view of cooking. Too many ingredients, and I don't even attempt it.

  8. I like the post that people have used these questions, easy to answer and we do learn a lot about you... I love the Voice, it is my 3rd favorite, Madame Secretary and Designated Survior are in 1st and 2nd place. my favorite movie has two that tie. Witness with Harrison Ford and Roadhouse with Patrick Swazee. I think I have watch Roadhouse more times than any other movie. Me to on perfume allergies and people who wear it and hug me are the bane of my existence.

  13. It's nice to get to know you a little better, Eileen. Aren't the Hallmark Christmas shows the best? I've been watching them every day, and watched 'The Christmas Train' last night. I think you'd like that one. Your Italian sausage soup looks delicious and perfect for the cold weather. Wow, you've traveled to a lot of places. Christmas is my favorite holiday too. Let the Christmas season begin!
