A Terps Meme via Hermione ...

Since the last one was so much fun, here's one more meme courtesy of Hermione and Terps ... 

Who's oldest?
Frank (5 yrs).

Who was interested first?
Me ... I changed desks to his side of the classroom the day after he walked into the class.

Same High school?
For about 2 weeks. He had returned to school as an adult student to pick up a course but he only lasted a couple of weeks.

Most sensitive?
50/50.

Worse temper?
Me ... visibly ... he stuffs it deep inside and goes silent.

More social?
He is ... when he's out and about in the yard, we lose him ... he's always yakking to one neighbour or another.

More stubborn?
Me.

Wakes up first?
Usually me but he is up first to do chicken chores, and in summer, veggie garden watering and tending.

Bigger Family?
He does ... a huge family! 100+ with 5 living generations, almost all living within the same geographic region.

Flowers?
I enjoy the occasional bouquet.

Who cooks the most?
I do all the cooking ... even the grilling 

Cries more?
Me ... I have a tender heart but he's not above tears if something moves him.

Said I love you first?
He did.

Better singer?
He has/had a beautiful tenor voice that he no longer shares. He was a choir singer, a rock band lead singer, and sang and played guitar around the campfire for many years. Arthritis stopped the guitar playing and subsequently the singing. If you don't use it, you lose it.

Better driver?
We are both good drivers but after a near fatal car crash in his late teens, where he was the passenger, he does not like the control of the car to be in any hands but his.

Hogs the remote?
He has it all to himself because I rarely watch TV ... however, I am a tech-head so I do all the DVR programming, etc.

Better cook?
See 'who cooks the most?' ;))

Clothes And Shoe Hoarder?
Depends ... I have and buy the most clothes and shoes. He has the oldest wardrobe ever ... I have to nag him to buy clothes. He wore a uniform type of work clothing for many years. That habit carried on into retirement where he wears jeans and white tees in the summer and jeans and black tees in the winter. However, he does clean up pretty good when its time to get fancy ... in his old fancy clothes :))



I have an upcoming art event I need to be heads down getting ready for so if I am missing in Blogland for a bit, that's why ... 

Have a great rest of the summer! 
... thanks for dropping by ... nj

  6. NJ,
    Regarding the who was interested first... You moved your desk.....are you saying you were a flirt, NJ? You sly little fox.

    Oh, so your temper is worse than his, but you cry more, yet he is as sensitive as you are. Very interesting combination. You guys make a great couple and are so good for one another!

    Great meme! I learned some stuff 'bout ya!
    Hugs!

    1. You are funny, Ms Windy! :)) ... I think it was more than flirting ... he didnt have a chance ... I was a small town girl whose new city girlfriends, upon hearing of my interested in the dark haired man/boy, gave me a city girl makeover ... Ahem! ... my father was kinda shocked with what I was wearing when Frank drove me home that day ... yikes! ... as a parent, I think I would have grounded me! haha! ... nj ... xx

    2. HAHAAHA A flirt and a floozy, you were? No wonder why Frank takes an interest in you wearing dresses, and girly things.... reminds him of the day he drove you home! HA! Hugs! Windy

  10. I so laughed at Frank's summer and winter wardrobes! I once wrote a meme question about which article of clothing of your husband's would you most like to throw away. The answers were so funny.

    Must try this meme!

    1. I think it is, Minelle ... welcome! ... and welcome back to Blogland. I often read 'back in time' in various blogs. Your name is familiar to me ... hope all is well with you. Nice to see you here ... nj

  15. Urgh did you have to say 'rest of the summer???" LOL

    All but the driving, and remote hogging are me. The better singer? I think the rest of the world would probably benefit to us lip syncing- which I do far better at as you generally have to actually know the words to be able to lip sync. Reed is FAR older than I so even if we did grow up in the same city, he'd have to be faculty to be at the same high school at the same time. LOL

    Fun read.
    Evelyn

    Oh PS, at least Frank follows the no white after labour day rule! lol
