1. If you could physically lock in one age for yourself, which would you choose and why?

Wow… this is a hard one. Probably 40. At 40 I felt like I could go non-stop. I could pull an all-nighter with the Youth Group and it didn’t take a week to recover. I could sit down in the floor and get up in one graceful move. hmmmm memories…lol

2. What is the best dish that you cook or bake (your piece de resistance?)
Probably Pepper Steak. Everyone loves my pepper steak. And my yeast rolls...

3. When you feel blue, what is one strategy you use to help yourself get back to normal?

I usually read my bible, but sometimes writing in my journal helps, while listening to music, or if the weather is nice, a walk with camera in hand looking for photo possibilities.

4. When was the last time you danced in public?
In public years and years ago, before my previous marriage. Now, my honey and I sometimes will dance a slow song in the front room, but never in public.

5. Do you consider yourself a realist or dreamer?
Pretty much a dreamer, but with real visions…lol.

6. As a parent, what is one thing that you have done well?
Her faith! When she was about 4 years old we were riding over to her Grannie’s and there was a beautiful sunset, and out of the blue she said, “Momma look how pretty, how can anyone not believe in God?” And I knew at that moment, no matter how hard it was (her dad did not go to church with us at that time) it was all worth the effort. I was definitely doing something right!

7. Which is your favorite character on the Andy Griffith show?
Aunt Bea, who wouldn’t want an Aunt Bea?

8. On a scale of 1-10, how much do you know about Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.?

Probably around 6, I was always impressed by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. I read quite a bit about him.

9. What is your #1 driving pet peeve?
People having no patience, and honking as soon as the light changes colors.

10. Which color best represents your mood today? Care to elaborate?
I think probably a mix between blue and green. Not feeling real well, and have been a little down lately.

11. If your spouse were an animal, which would he/she be?
A teddy bear. He is soft and cuddly.

12. What activity takes up the bulk of your time on an average day?

Just whatever strikes me that day, I have several projects going. We married three years ago, and since then I have not worked. For the first time in my life I am just enjoying life, taking a day at a time and enjoying each day to the fullest.

Well there is my exciting answers, now head on over to Lid's and join in the fun!

Until next time...nel
