Have you ever ridden a horse? Yes, I grew up on a farm & we had horses.
Have you ever fallen off a horse? Have... Once, when the horse shied, I flew over her head and broke my wrist when landing. Another time I was out riding by myself, was thrown and landed under the horse's belly. Luckily, he just stood still and waited for me to get back on.
Have you ever seen a jousting exhibition, at Medieval Times or someplace else? No, but years ago our 5th graders studied Medieval Times and at the end of their studies had a jousting competition, jousting with bananas.

If you've ever attended a Renaissance faire, what was your favorite event or activity? Haven't, but would like to.
Do you like pigs? Sure

Have you ever ridden a horse? Unfortunately, yes. It never ended well.
Have you ever fallen off a horse? Unfortunately, yes. I tried horseback riding three times during my adult years. All three times ended in what I'll call near-disaster. The first time, I was about 24 and I was with a group. My horse bolted and dashed through the woods. My right foot came out of the stirrup and I was thrown off the horse's back, but my left foot got caught in the stirrup and I was dragged underneath the horse as it ran. I finally fell free, but was pretty roughed up. Fortunately, my worst injury was just a sprained arm; no broken bones.
Another time I was riding a horse and the animal slipped in mud and fell down - with me on it. The horse fell on top of me but did not hurt me because it's fatty tummy was sort of cushiony. It was a really tall horse and I am short, so I was unable to get back on it. I had to walk and lead the horse back to the stable.
Have you ever seen a jousting exhibition, at Medieval Times or someplace else? No, but I'd like to see jousting sometime, perhaps at a Renaissance faire.
If you've ever attended a Renaissance faire, what was your favorite event or activity? I love everything about them. One favorite is madrigal singers.
Do you like pigs? Yep. Pigs are cool.
Did you ever pet a pig? Yep, lots of times. While growing up, I had a few friends who lived on farms that had pigs and I'd always pet the pigs when I visited. I've also pet pigs many times at county fairs.
Do you know anyone who has a pet pig? No. I've seen them in public a couple of times, but I don't personally know anyone who has a pet pig.
BONUS QUESTIONS
What kind of dressing would you like on your salad? Olive oil and vinegar.
Would you like croutons with that? Sure!
You may have a cup of soup with your salad. What kind of soup will you choose? Today I think I'll have beef vegetable.
What kind of bread would you like with your soup and salad? Crusty French bread, good for dipping.
Butter or olive oil for your bread? Olive oil, please.

When was the last time you heard thunder? Last night, as I was writing these questions.
Have you ever heard a sonic boom? Yes. Most times it was when I was with my family at a vacation cottage in Michigan. We were not far from a military airport and the jets often broke the sound barrier. The booms were totally cool!
Do you like fireworks that make super-loud booms? No. The ones that are loudest really hurt my one good ear. I'm already deaf in one ear and try to protect the good one from harm. If I suspect a firework will be a boomer, I'll plug my good ear. It's still very loud!
What is the loudest sound you've ever heard? Probably those booming fireworks.
I'd better end this post now. The storm is raging and I'm afraid we may lose power. Have a totally terrific Tuesday, everyone! Thankfully, we did not lose power last night. However, the rain is expected to continue all day today and through the night; then expected to resume Thursday and Friday. We are under a flash flood warning and it's already getting dangerous out there. Because the ground is frozen solid, the water can't percolate through the soil and the runoff is very dangerous. Tiny creeks are already raging rivers and our entire area (Chicago area and NW Indiana) is under a flood warning. They're saying it could be catastrophic in some areas.
