1. What do the words ‘freedom’ and ‘liberty’ mean to you? Does your mind go more in the direction of not being persecuted or discriminated against or does it head in the direction of doing what you please?
Probably the former. Free from persecution and discrimination. After all, every society must a a base of moral conduct (rules) or they will cease to exist!
2. Nathan’s sponsors a hot dog eating contest every 4th of July. Last year over 40,000 people attended the event and almost 2 million watched it on TV. The winner ate over 60 hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes. How do you like your hot dogs?
Grilled in the summer, on a toasted roll, with spicy mustard and green pickle relish!
3. If you were going to enter an eating contest what would be on the menu?
Chocolate!
4. Do you run your house more as a dictatorship or a democracy?
You seem to think I run the house! LOL! I think that Hubby and I run a basic democracy.
5. Where was your favorite summer place when you were a kid?
Surf Drive Beach, in Falmouth Massachusetts. This is where I grew up and the beach was a five minute walk from our home.
6. Do you have a guest room? Would you want to stay there?
Yes. And yes. In fact, when we built our home we actually lived in that room, as it was the first one completed!
7. Next Wednesday America celebrates her independence. Do you have any special plans for the 4th of July? If you live outside the USA when and how does your country celebrate its own patriotic holiday?
Oh, I think Hubby and I will probably grill outside some steak? Chicken? Not sure of the main coarse, but grill something. It just isn’t the 4th unless we are grilling.
8. Insert your own random thought here.
The summer has begun and here in New Hampshire, this usually means tourists, traffic and a slow down in getting in and out of shops. So far this year, I have found less traffic, and fewer people are coming up to the lakes. At least our area. I sure hope our area merchants will have a good year so that they survive and do not go out of business. Most especially, the “Mom and Pop” owned businesses.
We lived in one of our extra bedrooms when we moved in while waiting on our container from the UK. We had a bed in storage that went into my daughter’s room.
#4-I keep thinking of that line from My Big Fat Greek Wedding, ‘The man is the head but the woman is the neck and the neck turns the head.’ : )
I can not stand to watch that Hot Dog eating contest, it is just plain gross. There is no real point to it, I can’t stomach it and it makes me nervous to see people push food in at that rate, I am afraid they will choke or bust. UGH! Love YOU, Mel
How fortunate to grow up 5 minutes from the beach! We had to drive 6 hours to get to the beach from where I grew up! 🙂
I’ll sign up for the chocolate eating contest. Even if you come in last place, how can you lose? 🙂
Falmouth? I have an “old” college friend from there – about the same age as you…maybe 4 or 5 years older. Eddie Scheffler. Know him? He grew up in Falmouth. We are “Facebook” friends now but I haven’t seen him in years.
I love New Hampshire. What a great place to be. Enjoy the summer!
One can NEVER go wrong with chocolate in my opinion 🙂
