Appetizer: What are you proud of?Without a doubt, my family. My DH and my children bless me every single day as they persue the lives to which God has called them.
Soup: What is the best thing you’ve ever won as a prize?
In 2005 I was named our District's Teacher of the Year. I am passionate about my profession, and always dreamed that I would represent it well. It was a HUGE honor. I received many gifts, but the honor was (and always will be) so precious to me.
Salad: Name something you do that is a waste of time.
Hmmm....I guess when I get "hooked" on a computer game. My latest "hook" was Diner Dash. Now I've beat all the levels, so I'm over that.
Main Course: In what year of your life did you change the most?
So far, I'd have to say it was the year I turned 40. I think this was the year that I realized that I really was satisfied and that I needed to do my best to stop sweating the small stuff. And although that trait still plagues me occasionally, I really DO try to enjoy each and every day and let things roll off my back when they should. I'm getting better at that all the time.
Dessert: Where is a place you consider to be very tranquil?
Without a doubt the mountains. I LOVE the mountains of Georgia, North Carolina and Tennessee the most. I've never been to Colorado...but suspect that the Smokies will always be my favorite. I always dreamed of having my own mountain (a la the Walton's). I'm thinking it may not happen until heaven, but I know when I go visit these states, I am at peace.

Congratulations on that wonderful honor. Good teachers don't get enough recognition.
I love computer games too. Right now I am into "Ravenhurst MCF", "Hide and Secret" and "Paris Travelogue 360". They are all fun. You have to find hidden items in a room or location.
Thanks for coming by my feast!
Susan, what a wonderful award for you to receive. I can understand how proud you would be of that..I would be too!!
I loved what you wrote on my blog about our children and grandchildren being the fingerprints on the world. What a great way of thinking about our family!! Wonderful!! Thanks for coming by today.
Have a wonderful weekend filled with your family. Sandy

I LOVE your appetizer.
CONGRATS on Teacher of the year!!! How cool is that?
My mom is addicted to diner dash and got me hooked when I was up visiting a few years ago. I didn't come back and buy it though...I knew that would be a HUGe mistake..lol That is cool you beat the game though.
My 9 old just bough the first one a few days ago though to play in her room..lol Hopefully I won't sneak in and try it.
I enjoyed your feast, thanks for sharing :)
Just from reading your blog, I can completely understand why you won teacher of the year! I would be so proud to have you as a teacher of my children (if they both weren't homeschooled, LOL). :o)
LOL @ Diner Dash! I am a DD nut too! Even bought the silly games, LOL!
Have a good weekend!
I have a deep dark secret: I get bored with computer games. I hardly use the PS2. The only computer game I'll play often is solitaire.
Bizarre, huh?
Great Feast. It's great that you beat diner dash. My feast is up.
I'm here from Tammy's blog to congratulate you on your Thinker Blog award. Looks like kudos are in order for your Teacher of the Year award too. Wow, well done! Blessings, e-Mom
