Wednesday Medley for November 14


Church at Lamoille, Nevada
Again this week,  I'm joining in with the Wednesday Medley hosted by Terri at Your Friend from Florida.  Would you like to join in also?  Just head over to Terri's blog, get the questions, then copy, paste, and answer them on your own blog.  Then you can go back to Terri's and link up!

Here are this week's questions:

1.  With the holidays coming, what is your most essential appliance to help you prepare for the celebrations?
Oh, good question.  I think maybe just my regular workhorse kitchen stove -- roasting a turkey, baking pies and cookies, cooking vegetables like mashed potatoes and squash, sauteing onions and celery for stuffing, and much more.  The refrigerator would be a close second!

2.  What is your favorite (clean) word?

I have no idea.  Clean words are the only kind I use, though.
3.  Are you a good judge of character?

I like to think so.

4. What is the last thing you took a picture of? Can you share it with us?

Yesterday's snow as seen out a dormer window.
Had to snag this off my Instagram
5. Tomorrow, November 15, is Clean Out Your Refrigerator Day.  How do you intend to celebrate?

Actually, our downstairs refrigerator temporarily stopped working a few weeks ago -- so I cleaned out the regular kitchen fridge to make room for some of the contents.  It's still in pretty good shape.  However, I do have some veggies -- peppers, mushrooms, part of an onion, and some brussels sprouts -- that I want to roast tomorrow, so one could say I'm celebrating this "holiday" in that way.
Isn't this little grandchef too cute for words?  I made the hat for her birthday last week.
6. Tell us something random about your week!

The weather has been extremely random this week! Monday was sunny and somewhat warm.  Tuesday we woke up to three inches of snow; then the snow eventually turned to rain, and it's been very windy.  Today is very cold and windy.  My friend and I did get out for our walk in spite of the wind chill which made it feel like 10 degrees!


And there you have it!  That wraps up Wednesday's medley fun for this week!

  1. Oh how I would love to have that vintage stove in your #1 answer! I think we would all be lost without our stoves!

    1. My aunt actually had a stove that looked just like that one. Oh, the wonderful pies and other baked goods that came out of that oven!

  2. She is as cute as cute can be! What a great chef hat too.

    I admire you and your walking buddy for going out in this fierce wind today. I filled my gas tank and thought I’d perish. So bitterly cold. Are you sure it wasn’t -10°? 😉🤓

    1. It did feel like -10º that day, you are right. (I'm just a couple months late responding to this comment!)

    1. That introductory photo is from Lamoille, Nevada. It is the Lamoille Community Presbyterian Church, built in 1905. I've seen many photos of it and it looks gorgeous in any season. This is one that we took ourselves, though.

  5. Mrs T, oh my, I would definitely choose my stove/oven! A few years ago, my stove/oven died a few days before Christmas. Yikes! Thankfully, we were able to find a repairman to fix it.

    1. Oh, that would really be challenging, Gina. That happened to me once when I had company coming for supper. Thankfully we had the element that we needed on hand (these elements were often failing and so we kept a spare around!) and my hubby was able to fix it quickly.

    I just love snow, there is something just magical about it. It snowed here this afternoon and I was able to watch it for a while at work. Just beautiful. I love your photo!
    Your Granddaughter is super cute! You did a really good job on her chef hat! Wow! Loved your answers! Have a nice week.

    1. Thanks, Lori, for all of your sweet and thoughtful comments!

      Yes, I like snow too. I especially enjoy watching it fall as long as I don't have to drive anywhere in it.

      Have a wonderful rest of the week.
