...liked the photo of the popcorn and thought the "frog" was a great name for it. we named two spare bedrooms after our kids(4 legged). iced coffee will be on my list too. oh! that's right....gotta go do my tag list!

i hope all of you're wishes/dreams come true for you in relationship to question 2 because they are "down to earth desires of the heart." that make sense to you? it's not like you were saying...I want to be President or...

Hey, thank you, Ellie! Fun list! I will have to put together mine, too! Thanks so much!

I guess these "tag" lists are all over the place. I plan to put mine up tomorrow--I've decided to just step out of my normal blog format and do post A to Z activities. I'm still reading and commenting on Reflections posts.

Liked reading your answers-- it helps me know how to approach mine.

Blogging From A to Z April Challenge

I enjoyed reading your answers and really loved your snack list! Now I want something icy and chocolatey! :O)
Unknown said…
ok I was tagged so I am in now and I will tag a few friends and come read the answers LOL
Ella said…
It feels like we are still in A-Z mode! It is
hard to drop and go back to the normal routine!

Hi Lisa, I so want Mexican food...guess I'm making fajitas for dinner.

Lisa-It is hot here in NC today, 85! It is a great day to make iced mocha. I make a cup of
hot chocolate, then add a heaping tsp of coffee and chill it over ice. Add more sweetener and/or cream...it is good!

Lee-I can't go back to my regular blog, yet.
I think A-Z blogging became a habit, at least for me~I look forward to your comments.

Hart-I thought of you, while looking at Writer's Digest mag today. Key point I remember is "show, don't tell us!" Good issue, I had to run to meet someone, but want to go back and get it! Anne Lamont is on the cover~
author of "Bird by Bird"~

Bud-I look forward to your list; Go make some
iced coffee, it is sooo good! Thanks, I was
realistic, I guess! Cute named after your
4 legged friends, I like that. I have rooms
decorated, after states. Our living room is Maine like, lots of nautical stuff, light houses. One bathroom looks like Hawaii/Florida....silly, but fun~

Yvonne-Thank you; I'll be visiting you, soon!
Your posts are always inspiring; you have a way with words~
Wanda said…
Hi Ellie, enjoyed reading your list and so glad you explained the frog thing :0) I'll be getting mine up tomorrow or Friday, if all goes well.
Thanks for the tag. I didn't know I already posted something. It will have to be the weekend. LOved your answers, what a sweet person you are. And I'm still going through the A-Z blog list. PHEW!
Hi Ellie, great to meet another Taurus. Both my mom and I enjoy Mother's Day birthdays from time to time as well. I'm totally enjoying the tagging game that's going around. I'm not getting much else done as I try to catch up on my blog-hopping, but at least I'm having fun.
I recommend Minnesota as a favorite place to hang out in the summer. That is where I grew up and where I would love to be in the summer at a lake (it is the land of 10.000 lakes)!

Kathleen-that does sound wonderful! I guess
I will just have to go to the Outer Banks, instead! It is a good time of year to go...maybe I will talk my family into it! Thanks for visiting me~ I grew up going to
Swan Lake, it was magical!

Patricia-I hope you have a wonderful birthday!
Your Mom, too~ I know, me, too...I am still behind, playing catch up, but I agree it is fun!



Debra-Do what works for you! Your last post was so righteous and strong!!! I look forward to your billionaire plan! I too, haven't caught up yet...

Wanda-Whatever works for you; I look forward to reading your answers! I am going to go check, though, just in case~
