"Come To My House" Meme

Dawn had this great meme in a recent entry, and I liked it, so here goes:

If you came to my house… 

You would see: Me!  (Why else would you come?)  Seriously, let's see.  You'd see a house that needs a good seasonal cleaning!  You'd see LOTS of pets!!!  You'd see LOTS of fossils, driftwood, and quartz in my front garden.

I’d probably feed you:  Well, that would depend on the weather and the time of day, but I'm a pretty good cook, especially if you like a good home-cooked country meal.  So it might be a venison roast with all the fixings including home make biscuits.  If you're vegetarian, then I'd fix you a delicious zucchini casserole.  If you're vegan (can't have the casserole because of the eggs and cheese), then I'd fix a nice green salad, maybe some home made gazspacho (if it's a hot day) along with some home made bread.

And offer you this to drink: Water, sweet tea, Pepsi, or Gatorade; and if you want some wine, you may choose between Thomas' home made pear or grape.  But don't drink too much, because it packs a punch!

I’d undoubtedly ask if you’d read:  Any Georgette Heyer or Patricia Veryan, and then I'd show you my collections.

I’d want to play this music for you: Well, that could be anything, I guess, depending on our mood.  Or I'd bribe Andrew to play something for us either on keyboard or guitar.

I’d want to tell you about: My family and whatever Eler Beth's newest escapade is.

I’d probably suggest a game of:  Scrabble, Clue, or some card game like Spades or Gin Rummy.

I would definitely show off:  Hmmm.  My kids?  My hubby?Lucy's egg?  The 'possum?  My tons of books??

I might get on the computer and show you: Pictures of my family or funny emails from my sisters.

If it was a long enough visit, we might watch:  Whatever you'd like to watch.  We run the gauntlet when it comes to movies and DVDs, with just about anything but horror shows.  So you choose!  Oh, I know -- old home movies!

 

Well, that's it.  Thanks Dawn!  Play along by copying and pasting in your own journal and leaving me a link.

No horror movies? :(  Oh well, it's ok, sounds like we'd be entertained enough without movies. :)
