Meme Filled Wednesday....

 Joining in with the Meme's one for Tuesday and one for today. 

Hi and welcome to Toni Taddeo's Tuesday 4 kept alive in her memory.

This week's questions come from Pamela Steiner from Florida and the Open Doors Closed Windows blog.

Let's jump right in:

1. In what part of the country is your current home located? North, South, East, West, Mid West, coastal, rural, city, mountains or plains?

I affectionally call it the "Great White North" because of the amount of snow we get. We live in the Western/Southern Tier of New York.

We sit in the Valley and are surrounded by glacier mountains and not far from the Finger Lakes.

 2. Why did you choose your present home, and how long have you lived there?

We moved here for a few reasons --it will be 8 years on Memorial Day;

-our son was accepted to college up here

--my husband is from around here and all his ancestors; father and so forth are buried here.

---when we got hit by a EF 5 tornado in Tuscaloosa, AL and lost everything, we had had enough.

 

3. What do you like the most about your present home?

Last July

We live in apartment/house. Our landlady lives above us. It is in a neighborhood and right now, it suits us fine...however, we are looking to move (no secret). We have been in the current place for 7 years.

 

4. If money were no object, is there anything you would change about your present home, or would you keep it just the way it is?

I would own it...and put it back to its original 1 house. Our 85 year old landlady, grew up in this house; resided in it even when she got married and never left (hence why it was chopped up for 2 apartments). I would also open concept our living quarters (downstairs) instead of the many rooms we have.

1. Is March coming in like a lion where you live?

March roared in like a lion with a winter storm and 60 mile hour winds.

 Aslan, Simba, Elsa, The Cowardly Lion...your favorite 'famous' lion?

Aslan. He is strong and wise. 

2. In what way do you 'march to the beat of your own drum'?

Everyone knows I am head strong and stubborn...no sense is trying to change me, just saying. Everybody also knows I like to smile and make people feel comfortable...don't ever cross me though. Word to the wise. Just saying. I guess that could be to the beat of your own drum.

3. What item that you don't have already, would you most like to own? Any chance of that happening soon? 

A house and property. I hope so...probably; hopefully and prayerfully within a year.

4. March is National Flour Month...are you a baker? Cookies-cakes-or pies...your favorite sweet treat to bake? What's the last non-sweet thing you made that called for flour?

I like to bake. Cookies, cakes, cupcakes, pies...all of it it. The non sweet flour thing was homemade mac and cheese which had called for a roux. 

5. There are 31 days in the month of March...where were you and what were you doing when you were 31? 

I had my son at age 30, so busy raising him.

If you haven't hit that milestone yet, then tell us where you were and what you were doing 31 months ago? (if math is not your thing, that would be August 3, 2018)

Was in school-getting ready to head to the Univ. after graduating from the 2 year degree program at Alfred State.
