When I was four, a two foot long flowerbox filled with dirt fell on my left ankle.

Public Figure
What public figure do you disagree with the most?
The public figure I disagree with the most? There are several, but I wouldn’t pick the biggest one I can think of. That is our current president (USA), Joe Biden.
Favorite Brands
For clothing, well, pants in particular, I like Charter Club an Style and Company. They fit the best an give the most comfort.
For food brands I would have to say Hidden Valley for dressings, Tillamook for cheese, Kraft is also an excellent brand. They taste the best. Signature is also good.

Quotes to Live by
Do you have a quote you live your life by or think of often?
Yes, I do, three of them. They’re reminders more than quotes. See below.
1. God is still on the throne.
2. Rely on Jesus.
3. Be strong in Jesus. Let Him be my strength.
These three keep the worry away.
Favorite Holiday
What is your favorite holiday? Why is it your favorite?
I would have to say the Thanksgiving and Christmas are my favorite holidays. Those two are when family gathers most. I enjoy being with family.
Camping
I grew up camping. I loved camping. It all started when my grandparents bought a travel trailer and a tent. They made plans with my parents at various times during the summers to go camping together. I’m from Michigan, USA originally, and in that state there are campgrounds everywhere. The coastal line along the Great Lakes provided many many campgrounds, which we frequented, and the inland lakes provided the same.
My favorite campground was at Lake Charlevoix up near Petoskey, Michigan. That would be the northwest part of the state along the coast of Lake Michigan. The emerald green and sometimes turquoise color of the water was breathtaking. While there, we went to the beach and looked for Petoskey stones (hence the name of the city). Other activities we did were fishing, swimming, hiking, riding bikes, exploring, and other kinds of interesting activities kids love to do. Eventually, our cousins went with us, which made the experience all that more fun.
Now that I am older, I don’t want to camp. The reason for that feeling has nothing to do with anything negative from my childhood experience of it, though. I have those cherished memories tucked in my heart. I guess I outgrew it and am on to other things now.
Liked Topics
It varies depending on the person I’m with. I like talking about interests I share with others, like writing and crafting. I love talking about my stories/books and bouncing ideas off of my children. They’re a big help when it comes to that. I also enjoy conversations that move along at a steady pace from one topic to the next. It doesn’t matter what the topics are during conversations like that because the thrill/enjoyment comes from the conversational experience itself.
