1. Might gather up leaves to dip into parafin wax…a lesson, perhaps, in not being able to let go…trying to keep things in their current state and not allow the natural process of seasons to do what they are designed to do…like trying to hang on to a loved one who has walked on, though you trust that they have transformed into a more glorious form (but then again…it is all about us, isnt it?). Will likely start lighting up candles more often.
2. Have been in that “death row” position (of sorts) and here’s my list, in no particular order: Angelo’s pizza (1/2 sausage, mushroom, onion, 1/2 shrimp and black olive), Frito’s scoops (you’re dying anyway, might as well let ‘er rip, right?), salmon and wild rice, Himmel’s Futter (“Heaven’s Food”), Krautsvega, raspberries, blackberries and dark chocolate. Got that last minute pardon by the governor, by the way. and am eating healthier because of it.
3.I know not.
4. Less than once a year, but saw onthe news tonight that the chair lift is open next weekend for fall color viewing. Maybe be worth a trip that direction.
5. Injustice, lack of integrity, truth, respect.
6. Kids laughing, a toddler toddling, a puppy’s fat belly, the smell of chocolate chip cookies baking, the sound of a chickadee deeing, the quick wit of a good friend.

1. I take a lot of walks outside, because the air is crisp, and everything quiets down outside. I also love going by water (ponds, rivers, etc.) becasue everything reflects off the surface.

2. Probably something my mother makes… I’m thinking though there are way too many choices for me to make right now. (So, hopefully, I’ll never have to make THAT decision!)

3. Um… I don’t know what Exhibitour is… but I’m also in Eau Claire now, so I wouldn’t have been able to.

4. My friends and visited the park a lot this summer. We plan to go again in October!

5. People who talk without knowing a thing about what they’re saying. Especially when it includes minority groups, (race, LGBT, special needs, etc.) They say awful things, and it’s pretty hurtful.

6. Little kids in the park. I was walking across town yesterday, and there was a three year old with an alligator hat. It was pretty awesome, and made me wish I had one!

Oh, and also puppies.

1. Autumn is my favorite time of year! We have a tradition of going to Helene’s pumpkin patch…the whole family…the first weekend they’re open. We hunt for just the right pumpkins, go on a hayride, eat apple pie, take pictures…it’s a blast.

2. Last meal like I’m going to die then? I think I’d choose a bottle of good brandy. And maybe a bag of Fritos.

3. I have never attended Exhibitour. I’d love to do that, but I just have never had the time. The people that I know that do go love it. I need to change my life to make time to do things like that.

4. Haven’t done that in a long time. But I have other places that I go to “just look” that make me go “wow”.

5. Injustice. The older I get, the more rage I feel about what I see as injustice to people that can’t fight back or protect themselves.

6. Happy children. And when I see the spark of recognition of who I am in my mom’s eyes.

1. My specialty coffee indulgences suddenly changed from iced to warm and I chai tea sounds extra delicious. I also enjoy talking walks through the woods more and the smell of the leaves.

2. My last meal would have to be my favorite dish from Mino’s. (I can’t remember the name) A lobster roll from the Maine coast and my Grandma’s lasagna.

3. Sorry, I don’t know.

4. Once a year I make it up to Rib Mountain but I should go more to make the most of my state park sticker.

5. The vile ignorance of a few people I can’t avoid, they can really grate on my nerves but they test my patience remind me to be compassionate. (all the while, validating me more)

6. When I see much older/elderly couples committing random acts of public affection. It never fails to lead to smiles and then welled eyes.

1. I’ve started baking more, and I’m starting to plan ways to decorate the house for the various upcoming holidays.
2. Last meal. Dorothy’s spaghetti with fresh garlic bread. Mom’s apple pie for dessert.
4. I ride up Rib Mountain every few years or so, but almost always only when I have company from out of town in tow.
5. Angry. I am rarely angry. I get outraged at the mistreatment of the helpless.
6. Smile. I’m smiling all the time. Watching my children play *happily* together is incredibly heartwarming.
