1. What’s something you’d rate a 10/10? Tell us why.
Oh definitely my grandchildren, Savannah and Quinn. They put a smile on my face each and every day. When I am able to actually be with them it is even better! Love being an Oma!
2. What job would you be terrible at? What makes you think so?
Principal at a high school. There is no way I could handle difficult situations with hostile kids. I’m just not tough. I wish I was, but I am just not.
3. When did you last take a fall? What’s something you’re falling for (in a good way) these days?
Last fall? Well, I actually fell in the shower about 6 weeks ago. Thankfully I got nothing more than a small bruise.
What am I falling for in a big way? Aside from my grandchildren, I am falling for The Pioneer Woman. Now I am not like many of her fans, who have purchased every bit of kitsch that she has in the stores, but I do enjoy her shows and the cooking. I have tried a few of her recipes and all I can say is, the girl can cook!
4. According to the Travel Channel here are some of America’s best fall festivals-
National Apple Harvest Festival (near Arendtsville PA, close to Gettysburg), Harvest on the Harbor (Portland Maine), German Village Festival (Columbus Ohio), Wellfleet Oyster Fest (Cape Cod), and Wine and Chile Fiesta (Santa Fe NM)
Have you ever been to any of the festivals listed? Which one appeals to you most? Does your hometown have any sort of fall celebration, and if so will you make it a point to attend?
We have a chowder festival in the Autumn and many Farm Festivals, as I live in Farm Country, here in New Hampshire. Although I have not been to the festivals mentioned I have been to Apple Festivals, and German/American Festivals, in this country and in Germany, as well as Lobster and Strawberry Festivals on my native Cape Cod.
5. What is your goodbye message to summer?
Let’s do it better next year! This was a rather challenging summer, and next year I really want to get to the beach and spend more time with my grandchildren!
6. Insert your own random thought here.
I came across a video on the Internet made by a nurse on Facebook. (I have included the link for anyone who is on Facebook, so you can view it) The Nurse had just come off of a long shift at the hospital, where she comforted a man as he passed from this life to the next.
She talked about the beauty of this experience, but also encouraged people to live our lives to the best of our abilities! Enjoy life, find happiness, do what you love! Life is so short! Don’t waste time!
I have a couple of the PW cookbooks and I like her recipes. Her meals are yummy and usually not crazy complicated. You have some wonderful seafood festivals in your part of the country this fall. Apples seem more like fall to me, but seafood sounds better : )
