Friday Feast

Appetizer
Where on your body do you have a scar, and what caused it?
I have a scar on my left index finger. This accident happened on DH's and my first New Year's Eve together. He was working late. I was making appetizers for us to celebrate the new year (1988) when he got home. I was trying to open a package of Gouda Cheese and I couldn't get it. I stuck the knife in and it ripped the cheese and into my finger. I had to get stitches (7 of them). DH was surprised when he walked through the door to relax and celebrate that we had to go to the hospital...but he was gracious as always.


Soup
What is something that has happened to you that you would consider a miracle?
When DS 4 was being delivered, the doctor kept telling us that we needed a C-Section. I had three babies naturally and couldn't believe this was happening. This was not my regular doctor as it was a Sunday. This particular doctor has a reputation for doing unnecessary C's, so I was VERY hesitant. The nurse helped us decide to go ahead. Now, when you watch the video, DS had completely tied the ubilical cord into a knot and it was wrapped around his neck! The doctor told us later that had he tried to come through the birth canal, we'd have lost him. He's our miracle.

Salad
Name a television personality who really gets on your nerves.
I mean no disrespect by this...but right now, it's between Anna Nicole and Brittney Spears. Anna is gone. Yet she is on my TV more now than ever. And Brittney...well...need I really go into it???

Main Course
What was a funny word you said as a child (such as "pasketti" for "spaghetti")?
My Dad used to sing the hymn "In the Garden" to me. The first line is "I come to the garden alone." I guess I once sang with him, "I come to the garbage alone..."

Dessert
Fill in the blank: I have always thought ______ was ______.
(This one was hard! I couldn't think of anything.I may come back and re-edit later if a better statement comes to mind.)
I have always thought beets are disgusting, smelly and gross!

Why do injuries ALWAYS happen on holidays? My kids NEVER got hurt on a Tuesday after school... but we've spent Thanksgiving, Labor Day, New Year's Eve, and Valentine's Day in the Emergency Room! Does NOT surprise me you cut yourself on NYE! Sorry about the stitches...

Thank God you DID listen to the doctor for Baby Boy! It IS hard to know when a doctor has acquired a "reputation" --- I think that's why I was SO hesitant to have my hysterectomy. My one doctor had a rep for wearing women's uterus' on his belt! But then I switched doctors - and SHE recommended a hysterectomy too! Then I knew I was in for it! :)

I don't think you should EVER go into the garbage alone! You just don't know what lurks in there! Stick to the Garden kiddo! LOL!

I have a scar on my left index finger too... but it was not as mundane as yours... I was swatting a bee... with a hedge trimmer 8|

May God give you and your family a peace and joy filled weekend!

Great feast Susan. Don't you just love how God uses other people to prompt us when we need it. That nurse helped you make a very difficult choice that you might not have made otherwise. That WAS a miracle!
Thanks for your visit to my feast.
BTW, I said it was kindergarten but not your traditional kindergarten. We didn't have that. It was at a lady's house but she did teach us and so it was like kindergarten!

I don't think I've ever eaten a beet in my life! They just don't look very appetizing.
