2. What's a favorite made up word from your childhood or a favorite from your children's childhood? Does your family still use the word today? If there's a story behind the origin please share.

When I was little...whenever we were going to Kentucky Fried Chicken, I would call it going to Gunga's house.  And to this day, even my brothers call KFC, Gunga.  


3. Will you be doing any spring cleaning now that the season is upon us? I read here a list of 15 quick (under one hour) spring cleaning tasks. They were-

clean out a drawer, vacuum furniture, whiten tile grout, dust the nooks and crannies you don't get to year round, degrease kitchen cabinets, wipe down walls, go behind furniture, wipe down ceiling fans, vacuum the mattress, clean the range hood, wash baseboards, shine the stainless steel, clean out vents, tackle the windows, and wipe down gadgets

Of the fifteen 'quick' tasks listed which two most need doing at your house? Will you do them?

Yes!  Spring cleaning is very important!!   We started with Alison's room and I am working my way through the rest of the house.  

4. A favorite movie set in Paris or New York?

I can't think of any...I am not a big movie watcher.

5. What's put a spring in your step this month?

When the sun is shining!  We have been getting so much rain, when the sun peeks through just makes me very happy!


6. Did you ever want to be a teacher? Why or why not?

Not really, I don't like speaking in front of people.

 

7.  What's your favorite floral scent? Do you have this somewhere in your home or maybe in a perfume? How do you feel about florals in food? How about wines with floral notes-yay or nay?

Lilacs!  My absolute favorite.  I use wax in a couple of burners around the house that melts the wax and makes it smell fabulous.   I am not sure about florals in food, maybe lavendar?  Wine!  yes, please!

1.  What is one area of your life where you're a perfectionist? Is that a good thing?
I am not at all a perfectionist, but I do prefer to be organized.  I like a place for everything and everything in its place.

2. What's something you find perfectly ridiculous?

My daughter!  She is just so funny, silly and fearfully and wonderfully made!  

3. What's a skill you've developed by way of that old fashioned saying, 'practice makes perfect?

I would have to say my cooking skills!  When I was first married I would make a few things often that I knew my hubby would eat.  But in the last few years I have really started making more things and getting more adventurous.  

4. What's your idea of a perfect breakfast?

We went to a family breakfast at a dinner a few weeks back.  I had what they called a Redneck Benedict.  It was so yummy.  Little chicken fried steaks, on top of biscuits with gravy and poached eggs.  So good!  

5. What's a trip, holiday, vacation, or day outing you've taken that you'd rate a perfect 10? Tell us why.

Our honeymoon cruise to Mexico was as close to perfect as I could get.  The weather, the food and being married to my best friend made it amazing!!
