Chats on the Farmhouse Porch 35: #27

Please come on over to join us on Patrice's porch and don't forget to bring a carrot or two for Wendell!

1.What's your favorite clock- digital or an old fashioned face with hands?

For looks, nothing beats an old-fashioned clock with a face and hands. But, for my brain these days, I need the ease of a digital clock if it's the time I'm needing.

2.What's your favorite type of bird?

I would have to say the cardinal is my favorite bird, and not just because of their beautiful red color. The chinking sound that they make while looking for their family is comforting. I've heard that they are married for life; they are truly family.

3.How do you feel about being in front of people? This could include meetings, speeches, performing, or just saying something at a party.

The thought of it scares me to death and has ever since elementary school. If I have to get up in front of people, I start shaking and my tongue swells. I can literally hear (and feel!) my heart pounding. And, at this stage of the game, I would probably wet my pants, too, from being so nervous. I am painfully shy and introverted. I am a behind-the-scenes person, just way better in the background rather than the foreground.

4.What's the last item of clothing that you purchased?

The last clothing item purchased by or for me was a St. Patrick's Day t-shirt that says "Everyone loves an Irish girl".

5.Please give me a caption or a Wendell quote for this picture.

My husband offers this one: "Keep laughing, gals. Patrice is warming up the skillet right now."
