Hello and happy timezones, kind friends! I have greatly enjoyed your responses to my Get to Know You posts.
So, it’s time. Come sit on my porch for a spell. Tea, lemonade and refreshments will be served shortly.
Here are 3 questions! Let’s go!
.
───── ⋆⋅Round #96⋅⋆ ─────
1. What’s your go‑to drink when you don’t want to think about it?
2. What song instantly puts you in a better mood?
3. What’s the most “you” item in your house?
───── ⋆⋅Here are my answers⋅⋆ ─────
- Unsweetened iced tea. It’s my default beverage when my brain has left the building.
- Beautiful Day by U2.
- My most “me” item is my antique tête‑à‑tête. I found it on a rare antiquing day when the right piece simply appeared, and it has felt like part of my house ever since.
And now it’s your turn. If you’d rather just read, that’s perfectly fine. A quick hello would be lovely, and quiet lurkers are always welcome. xo
Thank you so much for reading, liking, lurking, and commenting! You are important!

What’s your go‑to drink when you don’t want to think about it?
Bourbon
What song instantly puts you in a better mood?
I Promise – by – When In Rome
Losing My Religion – R.E.M.
What’s the most “you” item in your house?
My Laptop
Bourbon…. Nice. 🙂
I love those songs. Great choices, Willie!
You’re such a good writer; I can see your laptop being a “you” item.
Thank you so much for playing! Have a terrific weekend!
🤗🤗 Thank you for allowing me to take part 🤗🤗
Anytime, Willie. You are always more than welcome. 🙂 🙂
Another great Q & A, Kymber! 😀 I had to look up antique tête‑à‑tête. What a cool piece of furniture that is! I’d love to see a photo of it. I bet it looks fantastic in your Victorian home. 👌
Numbers two and three were tough for me, and I cheated a little, choosing several items instead of just one.

Thank you, Debbie! I was going to include a picture of it, but I forgot.
I don’t think that’s cheating at all. 🙂 Thank you so much for playing.
I don’t think I have an answer for any of those But I am looking up that song by U2
I love it. I hope you like it, too.
Unsweetened tea is also my go-to. Hot or iced, depending upon weather.
Any music by Stevie Wonder does instantly improve my mood!
Books! 🙂
Thanks, Kymber-this was fun! I enjoyed reading your answers.
Hot or iced, it’s all good.
You definitely can’t go wrong with Stevie Wonder.
Books! Right on!
Thank you so much, Ali! I enjoyed your answers, too. ☺️
Those are great questions and answers. These are my answers.
Question-1. What’s your go‑to drink when you don’t want to think about it? — Yellow Rose IPA from Lone Pint Brewery, Magnolia, Texas.
Question-2. What song instantly puts you in a better mood? — I like a lot of music that isn’t necessarily happy, but Sail by Awolnation is happy and catchy song that puts me in a better mood.
Question-3. What’s the most “you” item in your house? — I guess my telescope. I don’t use it very often but it reflects my interests well, and is a pretty unique item. If it is something I use more often than it is my beer fridge.
Hi, Thomas!
Yellow Rose IPA sounds good!
I looked up the song and it’s quite catchy!
I can totally see you peering through a telescope, or using your beer fridge. Good choices.
Thank you so much for playing! I hope you’re having a good Thursday.
Nice answers
Thank you, Jo-Anne.
Coffee
Can’t think of a song
The needlepoint farm I designed and worked for my dad in 1976
Coffee is wonderful! I love it.
No worries. 😀
That sounds so lovely!
Thank you so much for playing. I hope you’re having a happy Thursday!
Unsweet tea is my go to drink also…if we are talking alcohol though, it’s ALWAYS a margarita.
There are so many but lately, it’s Brandon Lake singing Count Em! Spirit in the Sky is my all-time favorite lift-you-up song.
Well, we are in a rented space so I’d have to say the plants I just bought to put around.
YAY for iced tea! And the margarita sounds good, too. I like mine on the rocks.
Great songs, Kim! I can see why they make you happy.
Plants are good! I bet they’re lovely and really brighten up the place.
Thank you so much for playing! I hope you’re having a happy Thursday!
My go‑to drink when you don’t want to think about it is ice water in my Yeti mug.
The song that instantly puts me in a better mood is “Oh Happy Day.” https://youtu.be/qgV3DjgTBdE?list=RDqgV3DjgTBdE
The most “me” item in the house is the bookcase.
I bet that water stays icy, too, while in the Yeti.
I love that song! Thank you for the link!
Your bookcase probably has the most wonderful books. 🙂
Thank you so much for playing, John. Happy Thursday!

Thank you! I loved your answers!
1 Cuban style espresso, no sugar, super strong.
Fiesta by Raffaella Carra
Probably my desk, where I write my books and prepare classes. I have a porcelain figurine of a dog I brought from Havana and other keepsakes.
Your espresso sounds really good!
I love the song! I looked it up and listened to it.
I love that you keep your keepsakes nearby like that. Your desk sounds lovely.
Happy Thursday! Thank you for playing!

my bed room dark blinds drawn
Those lines feel like a quiet little scene. Thanks for sharing it.

What’s your go‑to drink when you don’t want to think about it? In the morning it’s my coffee and the rest of the day it’s water.
What song instantly puts you in a better mood? There are so many but my favorite is Dirty Dancing – Time of my Life. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WpmILPAcRQo
What’s the most “you” item in your house? My kitchen. I made it all me.
Have a fabulous day and rest of the week, Kymber. Love and hugs. ♥
Yesssss, morning coffee is a must! I’m drinking an iced coffee right now.
I love that movie and that song.
I bet your kitchen is so nice!
Happy Thursday! I hope it’s a good one! Love and hugs. xo

Thank you, Maggie! I can’t wait to read your answers!
Those are great questions.
Thank you, Jacqui! Happy Thursday!
I had to look up the antique tête‑à‑tête as I didn’t know what that was.
Beautiful Day by U2 I have not heard for a long time. I can remember when that came on the radio very often.
I was going to put a picture of the tête‑à‑tête on this post and I forgot.
They did used to play that song all the time, it’s true. I heard it just the other day when we were shopping at Meijer.
It’s great to see you, Liz!
[…] I am joining in with Kymber’s Get To Know You. Round #96. […]
Thank you! Loved your answers!
— Water, I looove ice cold water!
— Groovin’ by The Rascals, a song from the 60’s.
— My ham radios and photography gear.
Ice water is the best, John!
Love that song!
I can picture that, totally.
Thank you for playing!
