On Holiday

  Welcome to Toni Taddeo's Tuesday 4...

Summertime means travel time for many people.
Let's talk about travel and holidays.

1. Will you be traveling this summer at all?
I wish!   I could use a break from beiing homebound all the time.  I was invited to go to Italy in August but, I turned down the invite as I feel I am too disabled and too much of a burden.
2. Will there be  day trips in store for you? visits to the beach, evenings out:?
I hope so.   I usually get excited for the 4th of July but this year I just  don't care much.
3. Do you eat out more in summer... do you go for ice cream or treats more?
I used to go for more ice cream in the summer and we would go out to eat before things jacked up prices so high.   It's still a great way to spend an evening but perhaps this year things will be done closer to home.
4. What is your favorite place to visit and what is the most exotic place you've been to?
I guess the Florida Keys were the most exotic.  I had family who were native Floridians from the Miami area.  I spent a lot of time there and in the keys with my mother in law.  She had a friend there who had a teacup chihuahua and it was the highlight of the visit! He was so doggone adorable!
 I liked the lovely Royal palms in my mother in laws yard and the night blooming jasmine abd I like when we would drive into Miami Beach and all the bright lights at night were so lovely.
 
My favorite place to visit is Prince Edward Island and I would love to go there again, and again.
My second favorite place is right here where I live.   I have lived by the water since I was born and I love it!
Overall, I like to be by the beach wherever I am... everything is better by the beach including the food.

10 Questions

  Welcome to Sunday Stealing. Here we will steal all types of questions from every corner of the blogosphere. Our promise to you is that we will work hard to find the most interesting and intelligent questions. Cheers to all of us thieves!

We stumbled upon a post on Blogography that promises to ask "questions you aren't used to." Well, after all the memes we've done, that's a tall order! Of the 65 questions asked, we've stolen 10 of the most unique.

10 Questions You Aren't Used To

1. What celebrity would you never want to meet?  

I think it might be worth meeting most people even if just to confirm your opinion of them in person.

2. What do you label yourself as?  I don't like labels for anyone.

3. You can only have one sandwich for the rest of your life. You have every sandwich-making ingredient known to man at your disposal. What sandwich do you make?      I like tomato with mayo on toast or a hot dog with sauerkraut.

4. An angel provides you with a lifetime supply of the alcoholic beverage of your choice. What's it gonna be?    This is not something I even would care about.

5. Have you ever built a snowman?    Yes, I have.

6. If you could ask your future self a question, what would it be?  Find me the winning lottery numbers for the big jackpot.

7. Have you ever baked your own birthday cake?   No I haven't.

8. Which are cooler: dinosaurs or dragons?      Dragons but I think they are the same thing.

9. What do you like about babies?  They are cute.

10. You discover a beautiful island upon which you may build your own society. What's the first rule you put in place?   No billionaires allowed.

INSTEAD OF STEALING, LET'S BUILD OUR OWN MEME. Think of a question you'd like to ask and insert it here. If we get at least four good ones, we'll do our own DIY meme in a week or two. : What time do you go to sleep and get up?
