Beauty Without Within

Thank you, Joyce, for this week's questions.

1. August is National Golf month...do you play? Do you enjoy following golf? Have you ever been to a professional tournament?

No, No, & No

 

2. Astronaut Jim Lovell of Apollo 13 fame passed away this past Thursday. Are you interested in outer space and what's happening today in terms of space exploration? If space travel became common in your lifetime, would you go? How do you personally relate to the idea of exploring something vast and mysterious...does the idea excite you, intimidate you, or something else?

 This was enough to turn me off if I had ever had such a dream.

I am not interested in space exploration, although I did witness the first moonwalk at an after-church, Sunday night party with friends in 1969, and followed the careers of these early astronauts.   The idea of personally doing space exploration, I think not.  It does not excite me, intimidate me, or anything else.  Just not interested.

 

3. Describe your communication style in three words.

Straight-forward & to the point

4. Do you have a favorite cookbook? A favorite celebrity chef? Do you watch any cooking shows on TV? 

I rarely use a cookbook, but when I do, I use my trusty old Cotton Country from the 1980's and published in North Louisiana.  When I use a recipe, I usually get it from Pinterest.

I do not watch cooking shows, therefore, do not have a favorite celebrity chef.

5. As a child did you have any back to school traditions? If so, did you carry on those same traditions with your own children? Do you have any back to school traditions you've started on your own?

We always had a new dress and a new pair of shoes.  We also would have all our supplies on hand such as a tablet, pencils and crayons.

My children would have selected their outfits for the first day of school, new back-packs, etc.  I don't think we started any new traditions specifically for our children.

 

6. Insert your own random thought here.

We lived right next to our Elementary, Middle, and High School, so my sister and I walked every morning until we moved mid-8th grade for me.  Then, we had to be ready to ride the bus much earlier than we ever had before.  I think our dad ended up driving us most mornings.  It just takes longer to get ready when you're in high school.
