TODAY'S QUESTIONS

When was the last time you wore a tuxedo or a formal dress, and what was the occasion?
Never. I had a couple of long dresses in the 1970s, but I wouldn't call them formals. I've never gone to a prom or been in a wedding that requires formal wear.
Have you ever memorized a poem or lines from a play and recited them in front of a group or crowd? If so, please share some details!
We had to recite poetry in junior high and high school. "On the shores of Gitchee Gumee/By the shining deep sea waters/Stands the wigwam of Nokomis/Daughter of the Moon, Nokomis..." (that's all I remember. )
Have you ever given a toast (not the kind you eat!) at a special event?
No, I've never done that.

NATURE QUESTIONS

Have you ever swung on a tire swing or any swing attached to a tree?
Yes, it's fun! I wish I could do it again.
Did you climb trees when you were a kid?
Not really, but at my grandmother's summer house there was a tree with a low branch that hung out over the creek, and it had a bend in it so it was like sitting in the saddle of a horse.
Have you ever planted:
  • a flower bulb?
  • a vegetable plant?
  • a tree?
  • a shrub?
  • a houseplant?
  • seeds? I planted some marijuana seeds back in the day. I got a little green houseplant out of it, but it was more for decoration than anything.
Do you have a "black thumb" when it comes to growing things? Do I ever!

Have you ever visited or worked on a farm? No, but I spent some time on a sheep ranch one summer when I was nine years old.


EXTRA CREDIT

Do you wear eyeglasses? Yes, bifocals.

If you wear glasses, at what age did you start wearing them? I was in my mid-40s.

How about sunglasses - do you wear them? No, I lost my clip-ons, but I should replace them.


JUST FOR FUN

Does your shower have a curtain or a glass door? It's a glass door.

If you have a shower curtain, what design is on it, if any? It is a floral design with a lot of rust, apricot, sage, pink, gold and green in it. It's very hard to find a design that looks good in a 1963 buttercup yellow bathroom.




BONUS QUESTIONS

Does any room in your house have a decorative theme? If so, what's the theme?
Not really, unless "mish mosh" is a theme!

How many clucks does a cluck-hen cluck when a cluck-hen clucks at ducks?
I don't know, let me find my Cluck-O-Meter and get back to you.


Thank you, Pam, for filling in!

I never wore a tuxedo. Last time I wore anything formal was a suit for a job interview.

Never gave nor took part in a toast.
The only time I ever climbed a tree was a small one in the back yard of the house I grew up in.

The only time I ever planted anything was seeds for marijuana back in the 1970s in a somewhat secluded area. It did not turn out well.
I should have read up on it.

Never had the opportunity to plant vegetables. I grew up without them and I always lived in apartments.
Even flowers, it never happened. My loss.

I have Progressive Transitions eyeglasses for seeing, reading, and sunglasses. First started wearing glasses at age 36.

I have a regular cloth shower curtain, just bought about a month ago.

My small apartment is not decorated in any way.

Thanks for the Wednesday Questions, Pam.
Hope everyone has a great day!
