Random 5 Friday

It's Friday, and that means I'm partying at Random 5 Friday, hosted by Nancy of A Rural Journal.

Here are five random facts about myself.

1. I have a weakness for ice cream. The past few years I've preferred soft serve over hand packed. My favorite is chocolate/vanilla swirl. Little Bear Drive-In in Wallowa, OR has the best ever. Very creamy.

2. Last Friday I finished my first quilting class. I now know how to make two blocks, and have made 10 so far.

3. I'm a freelance writer who loves applying God's word to life. In the past three years I've been blessed to contribute devotionals to Wesleyan Publishing's Light From the Word.

 4. "The Simple Life of Noah Dearborn" is one of my (and my husband's) favorite movies. We watch this PG movie several times a year. It's a beautiful story of  simplicity, loyalty, and friendship; starring Sidney Poitier. Every time I watch it I'm reminded that happiness isn't found in material possessions.

5. My version of Breakfast Tacos:
    Saute chopped onions, minced garlic and whatever chopped veggies you like (in the photographed
    tacos I used  red and green peppers).
    Whip up a few eggs, add them to the sauteed veggies in the pan, season with Mrs. Dash,   
    and cook until done, scrambling as you go.
    Serve with warm corn tortillas, shredded cheddar cheese, salsa and sour cream.
    Enjoy.

Thanks for stopping by today. Have a joyful weekend.

Random 5 Friday

 

 

Today I'm joining Random 5 Friday, at Nancy's A Rural Journal, for the first time. Random 5 Friday is a weekly meme where you share "5 random facts about you, your pets, your kids, whatever".

 

Okay, here are my Random 5 for this week.

 

1. I thoroughly enjoy thrifting, and two weeks ago I scored this little French pitcher for $2.

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. Hubby and I spent a few days in Hood River, Oregon last week, and came home with some amazing pears at 75 cents/lb.

 

 

 

 

 

3. The red and yellow pears ripened to a delicious sweet flavor; so wonderful in a green salad with walnuts and feta cheese, dressed with a raspberry vinaigrette.

 

 

 

 

 

 

4. My husband recently spilled cinnamon hazelnut ground coffee and used our dustbuster to clean it up. The aroma remains in the dust cup. Now every time I use the dustbuster I crave a cup of coffee.

 

 

 

 

5. I have a weakness for mocha lattes and love to indulge myself when I spy a coffee bar.

 

 

 

 

Isn't this fun? Hop on over to Random 5 Friday to see other Randoms, and link up to join the party.

 

Blessings,
