Thursday Thirteen #66

Project1

Here are thirteen things about me, that all begin with the letter A.

1. April. That is the month that Hubby and I promised to love, honor and cherish each other until death shall part us. Our anniversary is April 9th and we will be married 20 years this year!

2. Amanda. My daughter with my favorite girls name!

3. Apples. Hubby owned a large pick your own apple orchard and I helped him the last season it was open. Now we have our own small orchard in our yard.

4. Arnie and Anneliese. Products of Greta’s first litter, which was her A litter.

5. Arrivals. Hubby was a pilot and I remember spending a lot of time waiting for his plane to arrive so I could either take him home or rendezvous with him for a romantic weekend.

6. Arrangements. Over the years I think we all make a lot of arrangements. For me, I have enjoyed the arrangements I have made for our wedding, trips, or even just a meal.

7. Avocados. One of my favorite things to eat. Hubby seems to have a real knack for picking out the very best and yummiest Avocados!

8. Artichokes. Love them. Either freshly steamed or marinated.

9. Apple pie. I have a great recipe for apple pie that uses Splenda.

10. Architecture. Many of you probably don’t know that I designed our house. I did take my plans to an Architect to have him design the structure, but the floor plan was all mine.

11. Auf Kirchen. The town where our dear friends live in Germany. These are the friends that helped us to find Shubi!

12. Abby. The name of my grandniece.

13. Atmosphere. I try to have a quiet and tranquil atmosphere here in my home. I hope I am succeeding!

  1. WOW, what a great list…

    Not doing a TT this week, so I thought it best not to use the ‘Auto-linky’ thing…

    You could have put A Australia, regular reader…

    So this time for Greta, and being her ‘B’ litter, will we see a ‘Bernie’ by chance? lol šŸ˜‰

  2. Wow, that was a pretty strong message you left me. I’m listening. Getting there I think. Janet’s a huge help. Thanks to both of you.

  3. Maribeth! Thanks for stopping by! You have a few things on your list that were on MY “A” list too – avacados for sure – and also architecture! It is very COOL that you designed your own house! I would LIKE to do that… but I think this one is our Forever Home…. But I definately had an Amanda on my list too! I have to agree – it was certainly a favorite name of mine!!! See ya for your “B’s” next week!

  4. Hi Mom,
    Decided to come to work for a half day, though am already almost regretting it now…. I still feel terrible, but just wanted to get some stuff done….

    I did do my weigh in this morning, and I lost another 4.5 lbs, for a total of 18.5!!!! Wow!!! I’m so excited!

    Hope all is well for you. I will give you a call on my way home this afternoon!

    Love you,
    Mandy

  5. Oh, what a great list. Avocados and artichokes are on top of our faves too!!
    I might try the alphabet, this could bring me back to tt!!
    Happy Thursday!
