about Tenn. - how you find wonderful people and things around every corner when you least expect it.
Yes, it's a fuzzy picture, but I prefer this one to the crisper versions. I hope you like it, too.

Today's Question, Thursday 16 August 2012
Hi, friends! I hope you and yours are well wherever you are. Before you start or continue the day, please tell us:
Today's Question:
What's the earliest news story you remember seeing or hearing about as a child?
I think it was the Rosenberg executions . It affected me because I was very dismayed that people would be killed for "telling secrets" (that is how my friends and I thought of it) & because there were two boys who were about my age at the time & when I asked my mother what would happen to them , she said that they would have to go to an orphanage. They did not and were adopted & changed their last names, but I did not know this at the time.
Who is the most kind or generous person you've ever met?
I think my friend Sylvia who gives so much of her money to different causes such as Doctors Without Borders & does without herself to do so.
Foodie Question:
How do you like your peanut butter: I only eat peanut butter with chocolate. Not sure why.
Just for fun:
Your public needs you. If you could star in a movie, what kind would it be:
Action
Comedy
Drama probably this. I would not be any good, though.
Spy/intrigue
Western
Other
thanks for the questions and for the lovely photograph, bj. I do like it for its moody colors.... Tennessee sounds like a wonderful place & that picture sort of draws you in.
Have a great Thursday, everyone.

I like my peanut butter crunchy.
Dont even try to give me low salt of low fat, I can (and have) tasted the difference in a lot of things before and will toss it. Give me the real thing!
I put peanut butter on celery, ritz crackers, toast and chocolate ice cream.
I would probably want to star in a romantic comedy.
Happy Thursday everyone.
