I don't usually do tags either, but this one looked fun, so I stretched my rules. Glad you did, too!! :)

Don't you love a man who can cook, and enjoys doing so? My DH cooks at least one night a week - and the boys help. I don't have to do a thing! It's an alternative to 'eating out,' because the best part of eating out is the being-waited-upon, don't you agree? :)

Have a lovely day, Mary!!
love,
Shani

I loved reading this! It's fun to find out more about your friends. I have to laugh at the question about who pays when you are out. It doesn't bother me, if I pay since we have only one bank account and we share the money equally, both have access, ect... but Hubby on the other hand is really bothered by not being the one to pay. So much so, if we are going somewhere that only accepts cash and he doesn't have any on him, he will ask me if I can give him the money BEFORE we go in so it looks like he is paying!!! lol!!! It doesn't happen often, but it has a few times. He does this with gift cards too. I hold on to the gift cards (I'm less likely to loose them since I keep them in my purse) until we are going tho use them, then he asks me to give it to him, so he can be the one to present it. lol!!!

Hi Mary,
I really enjoyed this tag. It was interesting to read too. I loved the way that you diplomatically answered the stubborn and temper questions. : )
I finally have a show and tell ready for this week! I have missed participating.
I understand about not having much time on the computer. Everytime I get online , someone needs me.
Thanks for your prayers and encouragement. You are such a blessing to me.
Hugs,
Pam

Handsome and I




First , I am a daughter of the King almighty and a a wife to my Handsome of 17 years. A mom of 4 on the go boys 15, 13, 10, and 8. I grew up in the states but married my Canadian sweetheart and moved up north. We live in the southern part of British Columbia , Canada on our homestead. We have homeschooled our four boys from birth and plan to go the distance till all four graduate from our homeschool. I teach with a Charlotte Mason style and use the Heart of Wisdom Approach. I love to craft! I am a beader, knitter, x-stitcher, quilter. We have been on a journey of being apart of building "The House that God Built". I have been recording our journey on my blog. Go to my links and you will find it. I know God has a lot more instore for us and we just need to follow where our Lord takes us.
