Good morning everyone
Happy Saturday Ooh! I would love 81 degrees for a daytime high. Best we'll do is 64 today, which is still nice with the sun out.
So what better reason to crank up the A/C and ask

Have you ever been to a Block party ? We've put on one of our own three times over the last 9 years. Called it the BBQ "In the Sac". It's always hubby's idea ~ he's the social bird.
Does your neighborhood have block parties ? Only when husband does it. No one else in the neighborhood wants to initiate one.
Bonus Question:
Do you have gutters on your home ? Yes.
How often do you clean them out ? Last time was a couple of years ago. Hubby and I wait out to see who will break down and do it, but we both hate getting on the roof (which is needed on our house).

How many small appliances do you have on your counters ? 7. Coffee pot, toaster, can-opener, Sunbeam Mixer, vacume-packer, and a couple of food processers.
Do you store your knives in one of those knife blocks or in the cutlery drawer ? Blocks, on a long magnet bar on the side of the refrigerator and a few extras in a drawer. The electric carving knife is in it's box inside the cupboard. We are knife-nuts.

Who would you want as a partner if you were on Dancing with The Stars?
I just do not like realty shows and cannot get into them even for pretend fun....don't watch at all and would never participate in them....sorry..
Tek_Freek - that is exactly what it looks like here. The leaves are just starting to change and many are green so it looks odd with the white dusting. My dogs love it!
Does your neighborhood have block parties ? One of our neighbors hosts a wine and cheese party at their place for all the neighbors every summer. It's nice.
Bonus Question:
Do you have gutters on your home ? No, but there is one on one side of the garage.
How often do you clean them out ? Another DH job.
Extra Credit Question:

How many small appliances do you have on your counters ? 2; the coffee maker and a toaster oven.
Do you store your knives in one of those knife blocks or in the cutlery drawer ? Both, actually.
Just for Fun:
If you were to go on the TV show "The Amazing Race" who would you chose as your partner ? My husband, but he's ineligible (not a U.S. citizen). We wouldn't win anyway. We travel extremely well together, and he is extraordinarily bright and well-traveled. But he's a dorkus klutz and I have Hashimoto's and osteoarthritis in my spine, so I'd be a total drag on our team.
Who would you want as a partner if you were on Dancing with The Stars? Since I can't resurrect Gregory Hines, who would be my first choice, I'd have to go with Savion Glover. In looking for a video on YouTube, I found that he's actually been a special guest performer on DWTS (I don't watch it, myself).
