Fav food as a child

Do you have favorite childhood foods that you still love? Or ones you can’t believe you used to eat?

That’s easy!! CANDY CORN!!!!!!!! I don’t know why, but when Halloween comes around, I have to have candy corn. And since the word “corn” is in the title, its part of the 4 food groups and is allowed.

Reading

How many books do you have started, but not finished? Or do you only read one book at a time?

Right now I have a Lisa Scottoline book started and haven’t finished yet. I pretty much start a book and finish it before I go to the next one. I love Lisa’s books and try to read what ever she has out. My son wants me to read the Harry Potter books and not see the movies. Maybe that will be my next one to start up.

I love to read, but my old, really bad eyes don’t!! I can read for a few minutes, then have to stop. And now I have to find books with much bigger print and can’t read paper backs anymore. Even with “cheaters”, I still have problems. Hoping someday to have the surgery where I can see normally!!

Trivia

Share a piece of useless/interesting information with the rest of us today.

I know wayyyyyyy too much stuff about bowling. I mean all the ins and outs of a lane, the machines, the pins and the balls that are used.

I bowled for almost 30 years and was a lane inspector for a few years and some kind of officer for most of that time. So, I had to learn the ins and outs of bowling, leagues, associations, bowling etiquette, the lanes, all the rules and other information that the majority of people in the USA don’t know or care about! For example: If you own a bowling alley that has sanctioned leagues and tournaments, you have to have your lanes inspected. How long the lanes are, how far the oil goes on the lanes, how deep the impressions are from constant wear from the balls, the width, making sure the pins come down on a certain spot and I could go on and on.
Lets see………..the lanes have to be 60 feet long, the oil can’t go over 45 feet, WIBC stands for Women’s International Bowling Congress, there are only 2 companies in the world that make bowling lanes, AMF or Brunswick, if you get 111th in the 7th frame you owe me a soda, 3 strikes is called a Turkey, etc. I could go on all day long.

I loved bowling all those years and hated when I left it to move to Georgia. I bowled a few times after that, but it wasn’t the same. I miss my team and there will never be another team to replace them. We had a good team, we bowled great together and had way too much fun for the normal person to have. They were my girls, my pals, my buddies.

New Discovery

What future discovery do you eagerly await? Why?

I guess whats on my mind now for a future new discovery is a cure or prevention of Alzheimer’s. What a destructive disease. My husbands mother is at the end stages and we were talking about how hard this must be for her and he replied, “Really, its not hard on her because she doesn’t know whats going on, but its been so hard on the family watch her deteriorate to nothing.” It’s killing my husband to watch his mother slowly die like that. This disease is not only taking a wonderful life slowly away, but it has also divided brothers, other family members and what to do about her care.

I live in a retirement community and watch all these wonderful aging individuals, 20 years older than I, having a great time. Playing tennis, pickle ball, swimming, golfing and really enjoying life. That’s the way it should be for every one in their Golden Years.

I am only 50 and will do anything possible to enjoy my life up into my 80′s or 90′s. And maybe in the next few years someone will find a way to stop this horrible disease.

Creative??

What helps stir your creative juices? When you’re feeling like you need some inspiration, where do you go? What do you do? Who do you talk with?

When it gets to where I can’t decide what to do on my layouts, I first will just walk away from doing layouts for a few days. That helps me more than anything. I will get in a rut and need to get away from it for awhile.

I have also gone to other scrapbooking sites to see what else is out there and maybe get some new ideas.

Lucky Number???

Do you have a lucky number? Why is it lucky?

Good question. I have 2 really. For a very long time, when I was much older, I loved the number 19. Because I couldn’t wait to be 19. Now my number is 13, because that belongs to my favorite football player, Dan Marino.

I have used the number many times while playing the lottery or other things when it came to picking numbers, but so far, no luck.

hhhhhhhmmmmm………Maybe its time to change my numbers!!

Food Day

According to some, today is Pecan Pie Day. What food would you like today to celebrate?

It is very hard for me to say what would be my favorite food for a day on the calendar.

I would have many days. Cheeseburger Day, Pizza Day, Chinese Food in a Box Day, Chocolate Anything Day. The list could go on forever.

hhhhhmmmmmm……..maybe there could be a food day for everyday of the year!!!!!!
