It is spring!

Well, not down under. I feel bad about that, so I am going to cheer my friend

up. I suck at challenges, so root for me here, folks.

  1. If you had the money, would you want to go to space? No. I would think about traveling but have read a lot lately about people getting tired of tourists. So I will stay home. Can postcards be sent from space? Adrienne sends me postcards. She will make it happen.
  2. When was the last time you went to the movies? I went when there was a decent movie. Perhaps, before — I do not remember.
  3. Have you tried other writing platforms? Oh yes, I write on the table in my dining room and the one on my porch. I often used a large book as a platform for writing when in bed. I used to have an official writing desk but gave it away — oh, my husband got it when I divorced him. That was my first husband. My other husbands just died, but not because of my writing.
  4. What is your favorite condiment? I like the pickled beet I make. Are pickles condiments? Maybe horseradish. But I like mustard a lot.
  5. Do you have a green thumb? No, they are a pale white, and my nails are flimsy and thin. I don’t have my nails
