Chatting About This and That #154

1.  Please tell me something you have done recently that was really fun. Absplutely nothing.  The last few weeks of summer have been a round of dentists and their various specialities.  This week I lost another tooth to an ageing root canal and had to have it pulled on Tuesday.  While I hate losing my teeth...the pain was really bad.  Thought I was going to OD on Advil.  I got my bridge installed, two weeks ago and the implant is now put off until the first of the year.

2.  Do you worry about any issues regarding food/food quality/food production? I truly believe in global warming.  Our weather in the midwest has been crazy.  My Brother in law has had two bad garden years because of drought. Also I worry about the problem of bee losses.

  
3.  Have you painted any of your walls with colors other than white, beige, or tan? Yes I have.  In CA I tried to get an adobe color on a feature wall and It just looked pink and gold instead of adobe and cream.  Since I was a kid I wanted to have pinkish beige walls in my bedroom, again with a rose feature wall. Feature walls were the thing in those days. Again it did not turn out the way I wanted and was more pepto bismol pink, We eventually changed the color, but never changed the living/dining room as we had Cathedral ceilings and couldn't risk getting up on the scaffolding again at our age. We really only have wallpaper in this old house. Not fond of it.

 

4.  What is your favorite way to have a hamburger? If you do not eat meat, what is your favorite sandwich? I will have a beef hamburger every so often....nice restaurant, I won't waste eating beef at McDonalds....I like a California type burger with swiss cheese and avocado and lettuce etc 

5.  Please finish this sentence: If I could, I'd like to play Tennis really well. And with Sean Connery back in the day. (This could be a musical instrument, a part in a play- use your imagination:)

1.  What is your favorite kind of bread? (wheat, white, rye, sourdough, a gluten free type, etc.) 
I love a good cinnamon swirl type of bread, homemade, even better.  My everyday bread is 100% whole wheat.
2.  Would you go to an opera if someone you know was in it? 

Sure, I would go to one without knowing someone if.....it were in English or translated in some way.
3.  What is your favorite kind of citrus fruit? 

Grapefruit, but I can't eat it anymore because of my high blood pressure medicine.  I guess it would be lemons and limes,  because of their versatility.  Oh, oh, I forgot about Key Limes.
4.  Are you doing any home renovations or decorating projects? 

Right now I have some projects on the books.  I have a new cabinet for the bathroom, which will probably necessitate a new paint job and some new lighting.  I need to fix some of the drawers in the kitchen.....got to learn how to do it first.
5.  If you could sit in a rocking chair and view a beautiful scene, where would you be and what would you be looking at? 
A beach in Santa Barbara, is nice because my grandsons would be playing in the sand.  This picture was not far from the house they use to live in....The beach is a little farther from the new house.
