Sunday Stealing

1. What’s the best beach or lake day you can remember?

A. In the 1990s, we went to Myrtle Beach courtesy of my father, who allowed us to use his condo. It was the first time we'd had a vacation and had extra money, so we were able to do things like ride the race cars, go the amusement park, see Ripley's Believe It or Not, etc., without worry. It is the only time I think we've ever had a vacation and not worried about what we were spending.

2. Describe your ideal picnic lunch.

A. I haven't been on a picnic in 30 years. But a good one would be watermelon, chicken salad sandwiches, potato chips, and iced tea or root beer.

3. What flowers are in your bouquet?

A. Irises.

4. Name some silly ways to pass the time during a snowstorm.

A. Looking at youtube videos, watching a funny movie, making faces at one another.

5. What is the most beautiful house you’ve ever visited?

A. The Biltmore in Asheville, NC.

6. What is the best place you ever dined?

A. There used to be a French restaurant in Roanoke, 40 years ago. La Maison, I think it was called.

7. How many layers to your ice cream sandwich?

A. I don't eat ice cream.

8. Names some pretty things which are faux patent leather.

A. Couches, pocketbooks, shoes.

9. What is the best way to eat chocolate?

A. Put it in your mouth and let it melt there.

10. Describe your unicorn’s special magic.

A. My unicorn has the ability to grant wishes! And fly!

11. List all the fruits in your fruit salad.

A. White grapes, pears, peaches, whatever is in Del Monte Fruit Cocktail.

12. Describe the soil, grass, trees, flowers and rocks in your magical forest.

A. The soil is a deep, loamy brown and it smells like a day after a rain when you step on the blue-bladed grass. The flowers are tall - taller than I - and they laugh as I walk by. The trees sway and whisper to one another; sometimes I hear them giggling in the breeze. Their leaves are a hunter green color, always. The rocks are multi-colored, like rainbows, and they move but only if you're not watching. They don't go very far for they are slower than the old tortoise that lives in the pond.

13. The lyrics which move you the most are:

Starry, starry night
Paint your palette blue and gray
Look out on a summer's day
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul

Shadows on the hills
Sketch the trees and the daffodils
Catch the breeze and the winter chills
In colors on the snowy, linen land

Now, I understand what you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they did not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now.

14. What are the best sauces in the world?

A. Is ketchup a sauce?

15. Write a haiku about nature.

Dark clouds, skies open

Rain falls to water brown grass

Drought fears disappear.
