1. Have you ever been caught outdoors away from shelter during a thunderstorm?
A. Yes. When I was at band camp, the director kept us on the field even though the lightning and thunder was all around us. He made us keep marching until the rain started. I thought it was terribly irresponsible of him.

10. What’s something that’s much more difficult than a lot of people realize?
A. Living a good life. Having a good marriage. Being true to yourself regardless of what others think.

#10 -- As a barren spinster, I find happy marriages just fascinating. People are so open about they broke up, but who talks about why they stay together? Nobody. Which is too bad, because I think it's infinitely more interesting.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was much younger, I always used to wish I grew up like you did--in the same place, with a big family and friends I knew for life. In hindsight, I'm glad I gallivanted all over the place, but it does leave one a bit lonely in the friends department
ReplyDeleteThe hardest classes for me were math also. I just struggle in that area. Loved your answers! Have a nice day.

My sisters always got the profits from our Kool Aid stands--I don't even remember what they did with the money.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you had to march with lightning striking around you!
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine living on a farm. I'm moure of a town/city person. I've walked around a few in the countryside though. I would give it a go though if I had the chance - for a short while.
