Joining Five Among Friends to Share and Fellowship

August 29, 2013 By Mary Hill 9 Comments

Five Among Friends

By Mary Hill

Hi, I decided to answer the Five Among Friends questions for Thursday. These are featured at Crafty Spices. Sounds like a fun group to link up with.  I am so thankful for the opportunities blogging gives me to meet new friends and to fellowship virtually.

With Five Among Friends, you answer questions prepared by one of the members and listed on Crafty Spices main page. Answers the questions on your blog, and then just stop by Crafty Spices and let them know in the comments that you want to link up.  Leave your post url in the comment section too.  Be sure to visit some of the other members pages too. Here are this week’s questions. Have fun.

1. If you get a day off or a day to just stay at home {and not have to go anywhere}, what’s on your list of things to do? Read books, write on my blog and work on my novel. I would let the laundy pile up and order take out pizza.

2. Are you a dog or cat person, or neither? Do you have a pet? I am a pet person.  If you have visited my blog from time to time, you will see pictures of a cat, four dogs, 17 parakeets, eight bunny lops (six are babies), and one very lucky fish. The fish has survived Perry and an almost evaporated bowl of water.

                          
3. Do you collect anything {or have a hobby your passionate about}? What is it? I love to write everything: poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction and blogging. I am passionate about reading books.

4. Cabin in the mountains or house on the beach? I am a so “cabin-in-the-mountains” kind of girl.  I love nature.

5. What is the best piece of life advice that you can give? Remember to pray daily and count your blessings.  When you take the time to sit down and think about all your blessings in life, you focus is on good things, and you will find contentment.

    17 parakeets, you must have a tremendous sense of humour. 🙂 They are so smart and no doubt provide hours of entertainment. I have two lovebirds and they provide my whole family with humour based on their antics.

    Mary- I see that you love pets. I just wrote a blog this week about doing agility with my dog Roxie. Please stop and leave a comment. It is a fun blog.
    I think it is so important to have hobbies outside of work. I love to read but also knit, and do needlepoint. With everything I have on my plate, I am never bored.

    Wow you have 17 parakeets! My sister and I had two growing up and I just remember them making a lot of noise lol. Do you keep them in their own room?

      We have a special house for our rabbits and parakeets outside. We are going to have to thin the parakeet population and give some away soon. Thanks for stopping by.

    Thanks for joining us, nice to be able to let the laundry pile up and order take (I just weary to much), love how you are definitely an animal lover and keeper – me as much as I love animals, no in my house.
    Lastly I love your advise. Thanks again and hope you do this every week. 🙂

    Hi Mary! I love these types of bloghops, because I get to learn so much about you! I would take the beach house, because I am a water girl, but we can visit each other right? The mountains are beautiful too. All that clean air!

    Oh, don’t forget to bring that pizza when you come! LOL!

    I love your first answer and especially about ordering pizza. I’ve been thinking about pizza a lot lately.

    Have a fabulous day. ☺

    1. I’d do the same thing.

    2. No pets but I want a cat.

    3. Colect books and love writing stories and poetry.

    4. Mountains because I can’t stand the beach. But I’d choose a nice non-mountainous cabin by a lake if I could.

    5. Ditto and never give up your dreams. Unless it’s world domination…I mean *scoffs* please.
