7. Do you get your furbabies holiday gifts? Sometimes.

8. If applicable, how did you and your beloved meet? At a college party...I spent a lot of time complaining about how obnoxious guys were (coming off a few bad experiences). Apparently he found that very appealing!

11. What would be your idea of a perfect day? time with my cats, time with my husband, free time alone ~ on a beautiful beach, and then lots of dancing out somewhere fun at night

12. What's the farthest you've been from home? I'm not sure, Florida probably, being in the middle of the states it's not real clear which coast is furthest. I've never been overseas.

13. Did you enjoy school growing up? Yes, I loved the studies, but hated how mean kids could be and the social rigors of classrooms. In college I was the opposite. I loved the social life and didn't put too much effort or interest into the studies.

20. What do you/will you remember most about your grandparents? My dad's parents: I remember visiting their house. I remember grandma drinking beer!
That was a new concept! I remember her giving us zoo animal crackers and playing with a little chinese chest my sister has now. I remember walking over there from my other grandparents' house. I don't remember that grandpa much at all.

My mom's parents: I remember my grandma being very loving and accepting of me no matter what. I remember grandpa giving me a dollar on some visits.
I remember her loving cats and his dog and horses. I remember their house and playing dressup in the attic. I remember drinking RC cola and having toast in the mornings. I remember visiting him before he died and talking really frankly with my grandma. I then remember her asking me to ride in the limo at the funeral (a big deal to be singled out in our large extended family). I remember visiting my grandma in the nursing home last time when they couldn't even wake her up at all. I just sat and talked and sang to her while she slept.

But my maternal grandmother, well, lets just say for all the trouble she's caused my mom and her siblings through the years, I'll remember her as the world's biggest b***h. (If you don't believe we don't get along, consider this, Catfolks and I have been married for 14 years, she didn't come to the wedding, not 5 miles from her house, but I have never taken him to meet her, and probably never will...sad, I know)

grandma Bea - died when I was very young, but will always remember her lovely paintings and the smile that she has in all of her photos, as well as how lovely her Siamese cats were and how happy she looks in pictures with them.

papa - always practical, but still fun. i will remember his extraodinary love of music and his stunning talent on piano - his eagerness to teach and his patience. i will always remember learning piano, when he'd ask me questions and let me answer them as if he didn't know the answer - i'd always feel so smart. i'll always remember the day he gave me my harmonica - the look in his patient eyes as he told me to practice. i''ll remember the stories he told, over and over again, though i never, ever, ever, tired of hearing them.

jeanette (practically my step-grandma) - patient and usually understanding, i will remember shopping trips and how she tried her best to keep me with the "in" trends, no matter how badly i would have preferred to wear my ninja turtles tracksuits everywhere i went.
always willing to help and encourage.

grandma - always understanding and caring, worrywart, but in a good way.


(sry for all the lazy typing tonight - i'm insanely tired but can't seem to get to sleep)

1. What is your middle name?

Daisy

2. what was the weather like when you woke up this morning?

warm and sunny (preparation for hot and sunny)

3. What are your furbabies doing as you read this?

Cindy's on the back porch, staying as cool as she can; Fawn and Suzy are likely doing the same thing, but I don't know precisely where at the moment

4. What does your bedroom window look out on?

Front yard/trees, and street beyond that

5. Are you allergic to anything?

Not that I know of

6. What is your favorite holiday?

Victoria Day (the Monday preceding May 25, for those unfamiliar with it -- the reason it's my favourite is that it's one of the few that neither has social obligations attached nor comes at a time when the day off work is going to cause things to pile up too much -- and the weather is usually nice enough to enjoy it.)

7. Do you get your furbabies holiday gifts?

Yup.

8. If applicable, how did you and your beloved meet?

In a church choir -- and we're still in it 29 years later.

9. Parents name?

Denys and Daisy

10. Do you have siblings? If so, how many?

One brother

11. What would be your idea of a perfect day?

Warm but not oppressive sunny weather; slightly later start than on a work day; putter in kitchen and garden before the heat of the day; late brunch; reading in the shade of the afternoon with something cool at hand to sip and kitties visiting from time to time; BBQ for dinner around 8; pitch the dishes on the counter and wander up the road to a movie (late show/half a mile?) ; wander home and crash.

12. What's the farthest you've been from home?

About 4,000 miles -- across the country. Haven't left this continent and having lived close to the US border all my life, crossing a border hasn't meant a particularly long trip either.

13. Did you enjoy school growing up?

Sometimes it was really good, and other times not so good. On the whole, it was OK.

14. Do you live in the city or country?

City

15. Your favorite restaurant?

Earl's (there are a few others that are great for specific things/occasions, but if I had to pick only one, Earl's would definitely be it)

16. How much time would you guestimate you spend on line each day?

Between work and home, probably four hours or so

17. Do you belong to an auto club?

Yes. Wouldn't be without it.

18. Would you rather have the birthday cake or the ice cream?

Ice cream, thanks

19. How many candles will be on your next cake? (optional)

Given that I won't have a cake --- zero -- Oh, you didn't mean that --- OK, what the heck -- 57 -- call the fire department

20. What do you/will you remember most about your grandparents?

I only really knew one of them. My Dad's father was never in my life, and Mum's parents died when I was too small to remember more than a rather fuzzy image, which may be influenced more by the photos I've seen than by actual memory.

My Dad's Mum was quite stiff and proper sometimes, but she could also be a lot of fun -- she had a wicked sense of humour, when she didn't have a burr in her saddle

20. What do you/will you remember most about your grandparents? My moms parents, are Momom and Popop. I'm not sure what I'll remember about Momom probably the way she tried to teach me to knit and when she saw that I was useless at it she put the thing I was knitting away and finished it for me and gave it to me for my birthday. Popop, I'll always remember his hands. He was a short man, probably only about 5'4" but he had the biggest hands. Very comforting. My dads parents, Nana and Granddad. I'll always remember Granddad for cowboys and indians. He had a false leg and always walked with a cane, we'ld sit on is bed and shot the cowboys or indians with his canes. Afterward he'ld tickle me untill I would collapse in giggles. Nana, I'll always remember because she left me a signifigent inheritance. And her letters, she was a great letter writer and was always after me to spell properly.
Made me so mad!!
