Another fun Hop – this one lets us learn about our friends and that’s truly FUN. It’s co-hosted by 15andmeowing and Four-Legged Furballs. Each of them gives us TWO sentences with blanks to fill in. Funny how you can learn so much about someone with just a few blanks filled in isn’t it?!?!?! If you’d like to join us, click the badge above and find where the link up with us. Then have fun visiting everyone and seeing how they filled in the blanks.
Here are this week’s four sentences……………..this week I decided to let Mom be the STAR…..she is filling in ALL the blanks! Her words are in RED.
1. I am going to give my husband a bread baking cookbook for Christmas. (he likes to TRY to make bread but it never turns out like he wants – hopefully the book will help!)
2. I sleep about 6 hours a night. (sometimes a little more – depends on what aches and pains I have at the time!)

Oh, Pam, his luck is about.to change….my mama’s focaccia and breads, make with the same technique (!) will make you smile even more. Mama promises this. You can see a video of mama making focaccia on YouTube.
Suzanne Dunaway’s FLASH focaccia. Lots of luck and love.

I will have David look at the video for sure – I think the book will be a big surprise and inspire him to try making bread again – he was just so discouraged and I KNOW your book will get him enthusiastic about it again! Thanks for the love AND luck! By the way, the book arrived from Amazon yesterday….and is now wrapped and under the Christmas tree………..

1. I am going to give papa a fog-proof mask and wipes for glasses to de-fog them when wearing with mask for Christmas.
2. I sleep ALOT a night. And all day, too.
3. My home is decorated not at all. It’s like YOURS, comfortable and NOT “decorated”…and we love that. Mama says she is terrible at decoration. She just throws pretty throw pillow around, haha. And has her paintings…
4. Christmas music can make me sad or happy. We are not with our Rome family. So sometimes the Hallelujahs are sort of poignant, whatever that means…I like music for cats with the purr in the background, but not sure it’s holiday music, haha.

Hi Loulou! You filled in the sentences well. I’m a major sleeper too – I can fall asleep ANYWHERE! Someone told my Mom that if you put shaving cream on your glasses then wipe it off it will keep them from fogging up when you wear your mask. Our house is “lived in”….and our furniture is old but comfy….and Mom and Dad can think of lots of other ways to spend $$ than buying new furniture right now! HAHAHA My Mom has her paintings in her office and in one of our bathrooms (hahaha) as decoration. Nice to have an artist in the family isn’t it Loulou?!?!?!?!

The bread baking cook book is a great idea. Santa is bringing SSNS a bread machine. We had one for quite some time and it just gave out. Ditto on your #4! I enjoyed your Fill-Ins! Good Morning, Virginieeeeeeeeeeeee!

Good morning FLORIDAAAAAAAAADOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I was all set to get David a bread machine then he told me he would NEVER want one because he’s “determined” (nuts) to make it without help! Hence the book!

Jerry spent quite a few years as determined as David. He wanted to make “real” bread like his Mom. But there is this thing called “proofing” the bread and it will mess with your nerves and determination. A bread machine was finally bought. BUT, Jerry and I are cheering for David. The End.
