1. On a scale of 1-10, how would you rate your summer so far? Why?
(1=eh and 10=best summer ever)
While I don't really want to be negative, I'd say a 4. While there have been spots of wonderfulness (I'm saying it is a word!), the challenges are many. Plus the humidity is not good for my positivity.
2. July 26th is National Aunts and Uncles Day. Did you have many aunts and uncles growing up? Were you especially close to any one or maybe all of them? Are you an aunt? (or uncle for the men who join here on Wednesdays) Share a favorite memory relating to one of your own aunts or uncles or relating to a niece or nephew who call you Aunt (or Uncle).
I have 3 uncles and one aunt on my father's side, and one uncle on my mother's side - plus their spouses. The first memory that pops to mind is when my Uncle Wayne (my dad's brother) told one of us children to get out of his chair. When we told him his name wasn't written on it, he turned the chair over, wrote his name on it with a big grin and said it did now! It just tickled me so.
3. What's your favorite food dipped in chocolate? What's your favorite food dipped in cheese?
I think pineapple dipped in chocolate is absolutely delicious. As for cheese, probably a tortilla chip - I just love nachos!
4. When were you last astonished by something? Explain.
The princess agreed to chaperone a youth group event. Since she is rather soft-spoken and reserved, it just surprised me - delighted me as well.
5. Surf board, paddle board, ironing board, Pinterest board, score board, clip board, bulletin board...which board have you most recently encountered?
Seeing as it is a good year if I iron once a year, it definitely wouldn't be an ironing board! I'd say a clip board.
6. What's your favorite story from scripture? Why that story?
Probably when Samuel asked for God to put words in his mouth before interpreting a king's dream. It reminds me to pray before speaking in difficult situations.
7. If you were to travel from the east coast to the west coast in your own country, which five cities would you most want to see?
Bar Harbor (I love the scenery, the food, everything), Pittsburgh (to eat at Primanti Brothers!), Savannah GA (one of my favorite cities), Cheyenne (the surrounding countryside has a desolate beauty), and Seattle (I've always wanted to visit there).
8. Insert your own random thought here.
There are times I think I really want to blog, but I'm never able to do so when that thought crosses my mind.
