1. What's a characteristic you admire in others? Elaborate.
I have three friends that are going through some very difficult situations. I admire the resilience they demonstrate.
2. Do you have a favorite mug? Let's see it. Why is this one your favorite?
I have several favorite mugs. I will share one that my mom gifted me a few years ago. I bring the mug out after Thanksgiving and I drink my morning coffee in it during the holiday season. I like it because it has the vintage scene on it and it is from my mom.
3. July 15th is/was National Give Something Away Day...will you (or did you, depending on what day you answer these questions) give something away? If so what? Do you regularly give away or do you tend to 'accumulate'?This past weekend my husband and I cleaned a section of our basement. We took a load to Goodwill on July, 12. The load had a lot of seasonal outdoor decor that we no longer put out on display.
I try not to 'accumulate'.
4. You're planning a trip. Do you prefer exploring big cities or smaller, more off the grid towns? World Atlas lists these 12
'off the grid' towns to see in 2025. How many on the list have you
seen? Of those listed which one would you most like to visit? Tell us
why?
Boothbay Harbor Maine, Middlebury Vermont, New Hope
Pennsylvania, Rehoboth Beach Delaware, Brevard North Carolina, Saugatuck
Michigan, Medora North Dakota, Ouray Colorado, Lamoille Nevada, Neah
Bay Washington, Hood River Oregon, or Cambria California

We would enjoy exploring the smaller towns.
I have been to Medora, North Dakota.
I would enjoy visiting Boothbay Harbor, Maine. We would enjoy the history and taking the sailing excursion to see the whales, seals, puffins and more.
5. Have you ever...ridden a motorcycle? been to a Disney park? met a
celebrity? won a contest? Tell us something about whatever you answered
yes to on this list.
I have not ridden a motorcycle.
I have not been to a Disney park.
I have not met a celebrity.
I have won a contest.
A little side story regarding raffle tickets. There is a fella in our local area that is considered the Raffle King. He sells raffle tickets, lots of raffle tickets. I became friends with him years ago while I was working for the Cameron Community Center.
After I left that position, we reminded friends and I would purchase raffle tickets from him when I saw him around town. He had a health event that caused him not to be able to get out as often, but no worries, he would mail me raffle tickets with a sweet letter. He always was sure I had some #12 tickets, because he knows #12 is my favorite number.
