Two. It's a living room-dining room combo, and there is one window in each room.

Yes, we have mini blinds (which I'm dying to get rid of and replace with plantation shutters).
Are there any valances in your home?
There's one in the bedroom.
Is there a window in your bathroom?
Yes, and it's the one room in the house that has an ocean view.
How about floor-length drapes - got any?
Yes, four: Living room, dining room, kitchen and one bedroom.

No.

Do your kitchen cabinets have handles on them?
Yes, they have ceramic knobs.
RANDOM BONUS QUESTIONS

What species was the last bird you saw outdoors?
I saw something hopping around in a bush behind the house but it was moving so fast, I couldn't identify the species. It looked like some type of sparrow or finch.
Have you ever seen a bat in the wild?
Yes, years ago.
Do you own any jigsaw puzzles? If so, when did you last put one together?
Yes. It's a 1000-piece street map of San Francisco. I have put it together twice, and right now it's on loan to a friend.
I just finished watching a fascinating episode of American Experience on PBS. It was about a woman named Elizabeth Friedman, who was a codebreaker for the U.S. during both world wars and also broke codes by mobsters during Prohibition. Her work saved countless thousands of lives. Name one or more of your favorite PBS TV shows.
I love American Experience, Antiques Roadshow, Great Performances and the Ken Burns documentaries.
Do you ever turn your cell phone off?
I have it set so that it silences all calls and notifications overnight except for a few trusted contacts. Otherwise, no.
Do you routinely power off your computer or tablet when you're not using it for at least a few hours?
No, I just unplug the power cord and let it go to sleep.

Thanks, Pammy!

TODAY'S QUESTIONS

How many windows are in the room you are in as you answer these questions?
One double window.

Are there any Venetian blinds or mini blinds in your home? yes

Are there any valances in your home? no

Is there a window in your bathroom? no

How about floor-length drapes - got any? no

Do you have a walk-in closet? Two of them.

Are there any bi-fold doors in your home? no

Do your kitchen cabinets have handles on them? More like knobs.

RANDOM BONUS QUESTIONS

What species was the last bird you saw outdoors?
ring-billed seagulls like this juvenile one taken in my town. They are here for the winter.



Have you ever seen a bat in the wild? Not on purpose. Used to when night fishing but don't do that anymore and then there's the crazy old bat that mostly stays in DC and I live in Tennessee.

Do you own any jigsaw puzzles? They are minigames in some of my my hidden object computer games. They are very easy. It's more about speed.
If so, when did you last put one together? Sunday: Road Trip USA II West: Collector's Edition.

I just finished watching a fascinating episode of American Experience on PBS. It was about a woman named Elizabeth Friedman, who was a codebreaker for the U.S. during both world wars and also broke codes by mobsters during Prohibition. Her work saved countless thousands of lives. Name one or more of your favorite PBS TV shows. Don't have a favorite. Rarely watch PBS. If I do it is Tennessee Crossroads. Used to watch the Doo Wop shows when they were fundraising but now most of the original artists have passed away.

Do you ever turn your cell phone off? Always during election years. Either that or I turn the ringer and the vibrate completely off and just review the calls at night.

Do you routinely power off your computer or tablet when you're not using it for at least a few hours? No. My back up service runs at night and my virus software also runs and updates at night. They send me "scolding" messages if I turn it off even when I go on vacation. If a wicked storm is expected I sometimes turn it off. I have a battery back up that runs if the power goes off. I always turn off the monitor, though.
