We post today and link up tomorrow!

1. What do you find is the most boring part of your life at the moment?

Food, I caught a bug and ever since I have no appetite for food. Even when I cook I get nauseated and have to sit down away from the food for a few minutes before I can eat. I love it when someone shares a recipe or a suggestion for meals. Sometimes I just run out of new ideas. Thank you to everyone for some posts about food.

2. February 22nd is George Washington's birthday. 

You'll find his face on the US $1 bill. What's the last thing you bought for roughly $1.00? (.94 €/ .83 £)

For $1? Would have to be a candy bar at the checkout at Dollar General Store.

3. Is it ever okay to tell a 'little white lie'? Explain. 

Yes. Unless you are hiding the truth for your own benefit.  I often tell strangers thank you when I do not feel thankful.  I tell myself I am happy when I am not.  White lies are sometimes necessary.

4. What's the last thing you 'chopped'? Cherry pie, chocolate covered cherries, a bowl of cherries, cherry vanilla ice cream, maraschino cherries, a cherry lifesaver...your favorite cherry flavored something? 

I chop every day. Is slicing the same as chopping?  The last thing I actually chopped up was bbq pork loin.  Cherries? Definitely a bowl of cherries. My, they are expensive but so good!  What about the price of eggs?  $6.47 a dozen????

5. Describe yourself with three words using your first, middle, and last initials. 

Jiggly and courageous.

A girl with no middle name.

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

Well, I am sitting here thinking about Spring and enjoying the patio.  I am wanting a couch and 2 rockers for our back patio. Last year we put a television out there and it was nice to watch television late at night outside.  We don't watch tv at any other time of the day. It would also be nice to be able to lay on a couch in the afternoons and rest or read a book.  This move however, requires thehubs approval (and he loves to feed other people) and to move our outdoor dining set down to a lower patio. Now that it is just the two of us, I am ready to make our areas more of a comfort to the two of us. Thehubs is not good at that, he loves a crowd. But... and here is my butt... I am tired. I am 64 years old and I want to sit down... more... and not be exhausted all of the time. My body is telling me to sit and enjoy this time that we have worked all of our lives for. Retirement.

I hope and pray you have a good day!
