1. What is something you’ll never forget about the age you are right now?
The search for answers as to why I have been so sick, and actually having been the sickest ever in my life.
2. What’s a household chore you’ve never done? How have you managed that???
I can’t think of anything, short of plumbing. Hubby’s Dad was a plumber, so Hubby handles everything under the sinks. Aside from this I have done everything, including taking care of Hubby’s fruit trees.
3. Does nature shape our personalities more than nurture? Explain?
I have watched puppies grow. Pups that are not nurtured by their mother’s will fade and die. If their mother nurtures them, in loving supportive ways, that pup will thrive and grow and become a wonderful dog. I have also witnessed when a pup is taken from the mother too soon, and then raised by people who think a dog is a dog and not their baby. Our Shubi (my first wire-haired dackel) was treated like a baby. She was warm and friendly and the sweetest thing. The people who had her brother lamented that he was not as nice or sweet like Shubi. I noticed that where Shubi slept with us and always sat in my lap, her brother Toni was put in a basket in the breezeway at night. He wasn’t allowed in laps, and he was treated like a dog. Yes. In Shubi’s case it was nurture over nature.
4. Friday (February 28th) is ‘Something on a Stick Day’…funny because Zoanna over at A Penchant for Pens recently sent me an idea for a question relating to this topic. What’s your favorite food eaten on a stick?
My Weight Watcher frozen cookies and cream bar dipped in dark chocolate! Oh I just love that!!!
5. Which of your five senses do you treasure most, and why?
My vision. Probably because I have nearly lost it a few times. I’ve had the retinas in both eyes detach, and you are literally left in the dark. The last time it happened I was about to become a grandmother. I was afraid I would not see my grand-baby. Now, I look at my beautiful daughter and granddaughter and feel so so blessed to have my vision.
6. What’s the best music, theater, or sporting venue you’ve been to? What made it great?
We went to the Opera in Budapest. I’d never been to the Opera and this was the most wonderful experience of my life (musically). We saw Tosca! I shall never forget it.
7. It’s the last week of the month…in five words or less bid adieu to your February.
Learn, Assert, Seek, Health, Care.
8. Insert your own random thought here.
Tuesday I am cooking Pork Fried Rice and Moo Goo Gai Pan. Should these two recipes prove to be good ones, I will share. I love Chinese food, and I would love to learn how to cook this food at home.
