I can't really cook at all. I keep a can opener & a microwave handy at all times. There is one recipe, however, than my mother made when I was growing up (my father, being the person he is, called it "Blood Clot Casserole"). Taking a box of Kraft Macaroni & Cheese, you boil the noodles but, rather than adding milk, you add a small can of undrained stewed tomatoes, the cheese powder, & a can of tuna. Season to taste. That should give you some sense of my advanced cooking skills!

We're over half-way through March! April showers bring May flowers. What is your favorite spring flower?

Forsythia. Absolutely!

Do you have any form of garden you keep at any time of year? That could include inside plants. If so, what living thingies do you care for?

Yeah, we have a ton of flowers, fruits, and vegetables growing both inside the house and outside. Blueberries, raspberries, corn, tomatoes, potatoes, apples, strawberries, peppers, lavender, various wildflowers, we even have a lemon tree (possibly the only one not in a greenhouse in New Hampshire?).

Would you rather grow flowers or something less pretty you can eat?

Whoops! I wrote then deleted a whole paragraph about 5th grade. Now I remember 3rd grade. I liked that teacher. She was much more pleasant than the 2nd grade teacher. What I also recall was being taught some of the metric system. The Carter Administration wanted to convert to it, but the next year the Reagan Administration mostly undid that. That disappointed me because I really liked those lessons. I now use it in Europe, though. I learned it fully as an adult. I also remember a music teacher who told all of us she was a witch. She played an autoharp and taught the song "Stirring my brew." She said we'd see her flying on her broom on Halloween night. She was freaky and wouldn't get away with that now, I think. I recall looking for her in the sky.

Q: See Miss Laura's below.

I think that's the Scottish equivalent of age 8 or 9 years, so that will be Primary 3 or 4 for me.

In Primary 3 I was struggling academically I had just started learning to read. I was a late learner. I was making my First Holy Communion. I was also severely bullied in that year. So it was a good year right.... NOT

In Primary 4 I was just trying to survive school

Question: Favourite sport to do at school?

OK, probably TMI, but baseball has always been almost like a religion to me. I played four years of varsity ball in high school, was scouted by a few pro teams & played recreational ball into my late-40s. I even managed to find a league when I was living in eastern Germany. There were many Cubans who didn't return to Cuba after The Berlin Wall fell, so my team (the Dresden Dukes) barnstormed across the country on weekends to play other Cuban teams. What fun that was! I ultimately paid a price in the form of shoulder replacement surgery because I threw so many pitches over the decades. My playing days are done, but I'm still in love with the game!

Are you a "city mouse," or a "country mouse?" What city, or piece of countryside would you choose to live in/on if cost wasn't an option?

BTW, @Sapien, your garden & other plants sound like a little piece of heaven!

Oh, my gosh! I remember the whole metric system thing, too! I was older than you, but whatever grade I was in, we worked so hard to learn the metric system - only to have it all for naught. I'm glad you can use it now!

Hmmm...could your music teacher have been Stevie Nicks?

That sounds enchanted! How do you keep your lemons from freezing? Even in SoCal, with the huge orange and lemon groves they have to use monster-sized heaters sometimes to keep the fruit from freezing temperatures.

The lemon tree isn't huge, and we have it in a large pot that just comes inside and sits in front of a window when it's too cold outside. It's lasted...six(?) years so far that way!

And it bears lemons? That's so cute! I wish I had a lemon tree in a pot

It does! Not many (we get maybe five a year) but that's all we need.

Just bumping the last question up:

Are you a "city mouse," or a "country mouse?" What city, or part of the world would you choose to live in/on if cost wasn't an issue?

That's a tough one. I know I would choose to live in a city, but the tough choice would be which city? Either San Fran or NYC. 2 cities I feel very at home in. Probably SF because it's on the Pacific, which I so love. BUT I would like to own an excellent car so I can drive to nature whenever I want to.



Pancakes or a waffle?

I like all animals, but I guess cat. I've owned a cat and they are more my speed. Actually, I am also a parrot lover. They are likely my upcoming pet(s).

In what room do you like to spend the most time, and why?

We have a screened-in porch. While it doesn't get any use during the cold months, I love spending time out there once the weather turns. It's supposed to be in the 60s through Thursday, so the season is officially open, I guess! We have bird feeders right off the porch, so there's music to enjoy.

Which sport do you enjoy watching the most (if any)?

Baseball! I'm a Giants fan - and the season starts in just about 2 weeks! btw, my dad was a pitcher for the Yankees. His career was cut short, though, because he was drafted into WWII.



It's a windy day! Are you outside enjoying the wind or are you inside taking cover?

What's your favorite part of the Spring season?
