1. What do you do at the first sign of a cold? Will you get a flu shot this year?
I’m the Queen of Denial! LOL!
I do drink lots of juice and ginger ale, and chicken noodle soup. Campbell’s Chicken Noodle Soup. To me, that is what I want when I’m feeling bad.
I have already had my flu shot. Did you know they are vaccinating for three separate strains of flu this year? It’s all in one shot, but apparently they expect a bad year.
2. What advice can you give about how to conquer fear?
Take a deep breath, and just go forward. Things will come in your life and there is nothing you can do to stop it. So get a grip and go forward and don’t look back! (Of course, I fall apart afterward, but I do get through the actual event.)
3. Share two good things about your life right now.
Mandy and Matt’s engagement, and the fact that we have had such a large peach crop!
4. A hot fall fashion trend in 2011 is a return to sixties style…tunics with pants, shift dresses, pencil skirts, cinched waists, bold prints, high necklines and short lengths to name a few. How does this fashion trend fit with your wardrobe and personal sense of style?
I tend to live in a vacuum. Unless I have somewhere to go, I don’t really shop. So, I will wear my cords and jeans, and sweaters and just be comfortable.
5. Were you involved in scouting as a kid? How about as an adult?
As a kid, yes. But when we moved when I was in fourth grade to a new school, I quit Scouts.
6. Apple, pear, plum, pumpkin…your favorite fall flavor?
To snack on, apple. But I simply love pies, and my favorite is pumpkin.
7. What characteristics do you think are essential in a good teacher?
Patience and organizational skills. My niece, Jinny is an Elementary School teacher, and she also has a great love for kids.
8. Insert your own random thought here.
The apples are starting to come in, and once we have enough Macintosh and Cortland’s, we will be making apple sauce. I’m nearly out of my frozen apple sauce and really need to put some up. There is nothing like homemade applesauce in the Autumn, Winter, Spring and Summer!
I am considering having my flu shots since I am planning two trips overseas. better be sure than sorry.
I am looking forward to your post on making apple sauce and seeing pictures of your apples!!
Colds require rest and fluids. Yes, always flu shots. Have those of you approaching “middle life to golden years” considered pneumonia vaccine? It is a good thing. When we live up north I used to make applesauce and strawberry jam – one of the few things besides spring flowers that I miss from “upnorth”
I love homemade applesauce. We picked apples last year and made some and it was so good. Has your daughter set a date yet? I’m sure its very exciting!
I was going to ask about the date of the wedding too. Any date yet? I would be excited about that too.
I don´t think I´ve ever had apple sauce. 🙂 Believe it or not…
Love Applesauce!! Can’t wait for wonderful apple dishes! Love YOU, Mel
Loved reading your answers. I know I have said this before but it is so awesome that you can things. It’s hard work!
