Today's Question(s):

Do you have any Fruit Trees in your yard?
Nope; a maple, a butternut and three birches, but no fruit trees.

If you could have any type of Fruit Tree in your yard, what would you chose ?
A pear tree; the pears I usually find in the store are like little green rocks, because pears are so fragile to ship. I'd love to be able to walk out to the back yard and pick a heavenly-ripe, chin-dripping pear right off the tree and eat it.

Bonus Question:

If you could go on a "Magical Mystery Tour" what would be the first stop on your Itinerary ?
Oh, gosh. I've always wanted to take the spouse to see Europe, so that would be the general direction. Not sure where exactly we'd start, though.

Extra Credit Question:

When was the last time you had a Ice Cream Cone?
Last summer, when we were walking down State Street on a hot July afternoon and decided on a whim to cool off with a Zanzibar chocolate cone from the Chocolate Shoppe.

What is your favorite type of cone?

Cake cones
Sugar Cones
Waffle Cones This one

[b]Today's Question(s):
Do you have any Fruit Trees in your yard? Nope, just a bunch of nuts...oak trees with acorns...
If you could have any type of Fruit Tree in your yard, what would you choose ? I was thinking of a banana tree because that would mean I was in a warmer climate, but, what the heck...I'm here so....a good old apple tree, nice and sweet would be my choice. A 'Delicious' red apple tree.
Bonus Question:
If you could go on a "Magical Mystery Tour" what would be the first stop on your Itinerary ? Hard to answer this one. I would like to visit England and Germany, Ireland and Scotland. Fiji Islands comes to mind. China, Thailand, and other Eastern countries afterwards. Of course I would have traveled the North American Continent first.
