1. Would you rather talk to everyone at a crowded party for a short time or have a significant conversation with two people?
We were just at a party this past weekend. I had two or three nice conversations, but then there wasn’t time for more, so I guess I am the significant conversation type of person.
2. What objects do you remember from your parent’s living room?
Hubby and I were talking about this the other day. I was telling him about the big old TV we had and the remote control they had. ME! Back in the day, there were no remote controls. You wanted the TV on, you had to turn it on by hand! You want to change the channel? Yep, by hand! So, I use to hover/sit right down in front, so that I could pop up and change the channel.
3. Do you hog the bed? Steal the covers? Snore?
Well, yes. But then, I have three dackels who pin me down in bed and I really do need the space. I’m not sure if I snore, perhaps when I have a cold. I am not a blanket hog. I have oversized blankets so that everyone gets their covers!
4. Speaking of Easter dinner….what is your favorite way to cook/eat lamb? Or does just the thought of that make you squeamish? If you’re not cooking lamb what will be your entree du jour on Easter Sunday?
I love Gyros. But not the ones here in the states. The ones made overseas, on a spit, where they slice off the meat as they need it.
They serve it up with Tzatziki sauce! Yum! Unfortunately here in the USA, the department of health, says it’s unsanitary to cook this way. (Sillyness!) So, I always have Gyros when I am overseas.
Easter will find us cooking a ham and possibly either a chicken or turkey. I will use a brown sugar glaze on the ham, and the turkey/chicken, will be cooked by roasting it ala Julia Child. One of my guests does not like lamb, and another potential guest does not eat ham, so…. I never mind, leftovers are wonderful!
5. Let’s throw some politics into this week’s mix-oooohhh…Do you know the whereabouts of your birth certificate and when was the last time you had to produce it to prove you’re you?
Guess what? Yes! Not only did I need to have it to get married, both times. I also needed it to show the Airlines who I was, in order to be allowed to fly with Hubby when he was still a pilot! Then when we moved back to New Hampshire, I needed it again to get my drivers license! Two years ago the Department of Homeland Security asked for all documents to show who I was again. So I have a file with my birth certificate, marriage certificate, etc in it. Also, if I go to the town I was born in, they also have a way of producing a legal copy for me, as it is filed there!
See, I could run for President!
6. As a child, how did people describe you?
Pretty, bright, talented, gregarious, blond. Here I am, in a community theater production of “The Sound of Music”. I played Gretel.
7. What do you complain about the most?
Hubby not watching my dackels close enough. He will take them out and then a little while later he comes back inside looking for them! It makes me crazy!
8. Insert your own random thought here.
Joanne is doing great. Each and every day finds her working very hard in rehab. We all continue to pray for her recovery, and it is amazing what miracles can be worked!
Joanne will go home this weekend for a visit. She is so excited to go to her house, see her kitties, her things and spend time with her husband and kids.

This weekend I plan to start my seedlings for the garden. We’ve bought some seeds already, but I need to finish buying those, as well as the potting soil.
I love gyros too, and often Dominique and I go to our little greek restaurant and have a Gyros with salad and pita bread ! Why should that not be healthy ? there is such a lot of junk food in the States !
Thats a really nice picture of you in your childhood:-)
Great!!!
I love the gyros like that too. You look like a natural up there on the stage. Do you ever do any community theatre these days?
While we were on vacation there was no remote! Ron put on a channel and there is stayed, no jumping around or changing during commercials. I may just lose the one we have, LOL!
I love that picture of you! So adorable! Don’t know what we are having for Easter or where we are going or who is cooking! Love YOU, Mel
I had a gyro in Paris…delish! Who doesn’t like ham?
Your an actess, how fun was that! I know of a few places that still carve the Gyro meat. One is in Tarpon Springs in Florida! It is one of my favorites and the more sauce the better. I really wish I could have one right now. I will have one on the way to Las Vegas in June, the Mad Greek is the second best one that I know of.
It looks like a very professional production of The Sound of Music, and you are so cute!! What about the lad stood to attention next to you?!
Great post!
