Good morning everyone and welcome to QOTD for Tuesday, May 29th. I’ve finally finished cleaning out the garden shed – its contents are now scattered on the verandah while I sort out paint cans, plant pots, assorted garden tools and taped-up mystery boxes and decide what to keep and what to throw out.


Today’s Question:

What was the last space in your home that you sorted out, cleaned up and reorganised? How long did it take?


Extra Credit Question:

How many remote controls do you have in your home and what are they for?


Bonus Question:

Do you have a vacation planned for this summer? If so, tell us a little about your plans.


Just for Fun:

What’s your favourite milk shake flavour?


Today in History:

1911 First running of Indianapolis 500
1912 15 young women fired by Curtis Publishing for dancing "Turkey Trot" during their lunch break
1916 Official flag of president of U.S. adopted
1919 Charles Strite patents pop-up toaster
1942 Bing Crosby records "White Christmas," greatest selling record to date
1987 Michael Jackson attempts to buy Elephant Man's remains
1994 Great comet-iceball seen above North sea
2011 Malta becomes the last country in the European Union to legalize divorce


Today’s Word:

Varlet \ VAHR-lit \ , noun;
1. A knavish person; rascal.
2. a. An attendant or servant. b. A page who serves a knight.


Today Is:

International Day of United Nations Peacekeepers

Ancestor Honor Day.

Today’s Question:

I haven't yet -- but it's on my to-do list for summer. I need to reorganize the mud room and the "office" -- right now, they're both just repositories for assorted not-sure-what-to-do-with-this junk. <*sighs*>


Extra Credit Question:

How many remote controls do you have in your home and what are they for?

Oh, my -- lots. But the ones that I actually use are: TV, "cable" box, CD player, and the window A/C in the bedroom.


Bonus Question:

Do you have a vacation planned for this summer? If so, tell us a little about your plans.

I don't like to travel in the summer -- it's just too hot.


Just for Fun:

Strawberry! Yuuuuuum .....


Thanks for the questions -- have a great day, all!

As we had only a few snow days this year I have more time off than in the past 15 - 20 years! The first week in July I'll be in PEI, my first trip there. Then home and tutoring through mid August. After tutoring ends I'll have one week before starting the new school year & will be spending that time on a nearby lake with family.

Just for Fun:

Coffee

Off to the next to last early Tuesday morning staff meeting for the year! Have a great day, all!

A big closet up stairs. It takes all day to sort it out and apparently microseconds for it to become a mess again.


Extra Credit Question:

You'll have to ask the men in our family, that's their domain. At least 5-6-7, maybe more.

Family reunion in the Poconos. Never been there--wondering if we'll see heart shaped beds and hear Liberace music.



Just for Fun:

Chocolate.
