I saw this over at Alice's, and it looks like fun!
Here's what you have to do:
Do a Google image search of the following and post the first (or favorite) result for each:
* The name of the town where you were born
* The name of the town where you live now
* Your name
* Your grandmother's name (just pick one)
* Your favorite food
* Your favorite drink
* Your favorite song
* Your favorite smell
Since my hometown is known for just a few things (a good place to view elk herds, buy your powdered metal parts, one-time US target for planned Nazi attack), it seemed appropriate to show a photo, albeit an old one, of the Straub Brewery.
I've run into people all over the country who, upon hearing where I'm from exclaimed, "isn't that where they make Straub Beer?!". Yes, yes it is.
And this is home-sweet-home now. Rather industrial-looking, isn't it? Well, that's just one part, honest.
Good grief! There must be thousands of Stephanie pictures out there...I almost went with Princess Stephanie, but I saw "November Rain" recently, so...
Guess what my dad's mom's name was???
Yum...inari.
I may not be a teetotaller, but I still prefer to drink these, with some sparkling water.
How many times have I performed this, anyway?
Mmmmm...vanilla.
Feel free to play along...
- Scenes From A Birthday
It's been a good weekend. I've taken tea, watched a classic rock-n-roll film at an actual, old-style movie palace while doing good (with pre-show entertainment courtesy of the Mighty Wurlitzer!). There was breakfast in bed, and I was just generally...
- Adoptees
When out of town friends come for a visit, we some how find ourselves taking them to a wonderful used book store in town. We do it for them, of course. It's all about them... And yet? Matt & I come home with an almost-too heavy to carry box of books...
- Something For The Fall-out Shelter
One of Matt's Father's Day gifts was this very cool Decade Box from Hometown Favorites. Normally, I wouldn't give a large box of candy as a gift, but this was simply too good to pass up. Sure, there was an incredible breakfast of artery-clogging...
- Memorial Day Eats
Of course, there was food. Pictured above. Not pictured, the most amazing mint iced tea ever. We just used huge handfuls from the garden. Mmmm... Blog Party#23 is here...and it's out of this world! This June, turn your favorite appetizers and...
- Happy Birthday, Baby
Happy 4th Birthday, Alex. You'll always be my baby. ...
