[One day at a time]

Not really.....unless it is something my kids buy me.....I hate to shop for clothes!


Do you like to wear sweaters?

 

[Templeofthespirit]

never really need them much here. Mostly wear a jacket over a shirt when it's cold.

Do you wear gloves outside in winter?

 

[lucypevensie]

I prefer mittens. "Thumb in the thumb hole, fingers all together..." I remember some poem from childhood...

DO you like poetry?

 

[Templeofthespirit]

3 little kittens lost their mittens. Never been big on poetry, I've read a few poems that are interesting but prefer novels.

Do you remember many poems from your childhood?

 

[lucypevensie]

Mostly Mother Goose type ones.

Did you ever read the story of Riki Tiki Tavi?

 

[Templeofthespirit]

At the hole where he went in
Red-Eye called to Wrinkle-Skin.
Hear what little Red-Eye saith:
``Nag, come up and dance with death!'' Eye to eye and head to head,
(Keep the measure, Nag.)
This shall end when one is dead;
(At thy pleasure, Nag.)
Turn for turn and twist for twist-
(Run and hide thee, Nag.)
Hah! The hooded Death has missed!
(Woe betide thee, Nag!)

from The Jungle Books, Volume two

by Rudyard Kipling

Thanks for that lucypevensie I had forgot Rikki-tikki-tavi, now I will have to read it again.

Did you have "little golden books" when you were a child?

 

[lucypevensie]

I STILL have my Little Golden Books!

Did you play with lincoln logs?

 

[One day at a time]

I think that I still have some around yet....loved to have them for my kids!

What about legos?

 

[Templeofthespirit]

I loved my lego, I had a big box full and spent lots of time inventing stuff and building it.

do you still have one of your oldest toys, mine is a small music thing that you blow into and push buttons to change the note. I have no idea what you would call it I've never seen anything like it since.

 

[One day at a time]

I do have an old top that when it spins it hums.

Are you looking forward to Christmas?

 

[Templeofthespirit]

suppose, it can be alot of hard work. It's difficult to slow down and enjoy it when your trying to make it fantastic for your family.

Do you have your christmas at home or at someones elses house?

 

[One day at a time]

At home.....actually it will be celebrated Christmas eve's eve this year....it's so weird having two married daughters!


Do you have a huge Christmas dinner?

 

[Templeofthespirit]

Bigger than I should! It's difficult not to eat alot when there is so much yummy food that you only have at christmas.

Having two married daughters do you get out of cooking?

 

[One day at a time]

I wish....but they tend to think that when they come here it is to rest!!


Does everyone in your family help out with the meal?

 

[Templeofthespirit]

Boys and kitchens don't seem to mix at our place. It's funny really because I love cooking and do all the big meals.

Do the males in your house cook?

 

[One day at a time]

They do now!!! They have had to help take care of me....so now my 16 yr old is getting to be a pretty good cook! My husband can cook too--his own concoctions!


Do you like to make up recipes?

 

[Templeofthespirit]

I always make up my own, and from what I see others do on cooking shows. Never really look at cooking books.

Making our own concoctions, it must be a man thing or we are too lazy to follow a recipe?

Have you ever made something that tasted so bad you could not eat it?

 

[One day at a time]

UH yeah.....one time I made a cobbler and ended up using salt instead of sugar....so you can imagine the first bite! YIKES!! Where's the water?!!!


Have you made something up and wish you wrote it down because you wanted to make it again?

 

[Shalico2007]

Have you made something up and wish you wrote it down because you wanted to make it again?

Definitely!

Have you ever had too many projects going at one time?

 

[Templeofthespirit]

that's my life story summed up nicely.

Question is do you ever finish any of them?
