We are under a flood watch until 2PM Monday. Of course it is still officially winter until the 19th of March and Spring is notoriously volatile.<p></p><p>Hot coffee/tea, candles, warm clothing are the order of the day.. It's nice to be cozy inside on a tempest tossed night like this.</p><p>1. What kind of weather makes you feel you need to dress up warmly? Do you get chilled easily or does it take a lot to get you shivering? <b> Cloudy and north winds make me need to dress warmer. I do not typically get chilled easily.</b></p><p>2 How is your weather so far this month? Are you happy with it or how would you improve it? <b>This week has been sunny and 60's, but rain and cooler weather are coming.</b></p><p>3. How do you handle very hot days where you live and what constitutes a very hot day in your opinion? <b> It gets hot where I live, so I stay in the A/C when possible. Very hot days would be 100's and we always have high humidity. Hard to breathe.</b></p><p>4. Is weather an important reason for you to live where you are or would you move to a better climate if you could? <b>It is not that important. I have always enjoyed all of the seasons, but I certainly get it why people want a more stable climate as they age. We never go anywhere, so I am guessing we will stay here until we die.</b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://cantinhodapqnapixel.altervista.org/" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Are there any photographs in the room you're in right now? <b>I am in my living room. There are some pictures of Karl, Josh and me. There are pictures of our dogs and a picture of Karl's Grandpa.</b><br /></span></span><p></p><p></p><p><span face=""calibri light" , sans-serif" style="background-color: white; font-size: 18pt;">2) His girl tells him he's a dreamer. Do you consider yourself more a dreamer or realist? <b>Sometimes I like to let myself be a dreamer, but most of the time I am a realist.</b><br /></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white;"><span face=""calibri light" , sans-serif" style="font-size: 18pt;">3) "Hold Me Now" was a big hit for the British pop band, The Thompson Twins. </span><span face=""calibri light" , sans-serif" style="font-size: 18pt;">They got their start in the late 1970s in the English city of Sheffield, so named because the River Sheaf runs through it. Do you know how your town got its name? <b>My town is called Highlandville....it is named for its high elevation compared to other areas around us.</b><br /></span></span></p><p><span face=""calibri light" , sans-serif" style="background-color: white; font-size: 18pt;">4) Today lead singer Tom Bailey performs solo and is an outspoken advocate for veganism. Vegans abstain from consuming animal products, particularly in their diets. Are you a vegan, or have you ever tried to stick to a vegan diet? <b>no</b></span></p><p><span face=""calibri light" , sans-serif" style="background-color: white; font-size: 18pt;">5) Tom's former bandmate Joe Leeway has left show business altogether and concentrates on a career in hypnotherapy. This therapy is commonly used to treat insomnia, smoking cessation and obesity. Is hypnotherapy something you have tried, or would consider? <b>no</b><br /></span></p><p><span face=""calibri light" , sans-serif" style="background-color: white; font-size: 18pt;">6) In 1983, when this song was popular, Motorola introduced the first cell phone. Today cell phones are an essential part of our every day lives. Do you still have a landline? <b>not exactly. We have our cell phones, but we also have a magic jack. We really do not use it much anymore. I doubt we renew our contract next time. When we first got our cell phones, we did not have very good reception at our house to make phone calls. We do now.</b><br /></span></p><p></p><p><span face=""calibri light" , sans-serif" style="background-color: white; font-size: 18pt;">7) Also in 1983, American West airlines took off, flying between Las Vegas and Phoenix. Where did you travel to on your most recent flight? <b>I have never flown.</b><br /></span></p><p></p><p><span face=""calibri light" , sans-serif" style="background-color: white; font-size: 18pt;">8) In 1983, Princess Diana was the world's top cover girl. Are there any magazines in the room you're in? If yes, who or what is on the cover? <b>I do not have any magazines. Princess Diana was so beautiful.</b><br /></span></p><p></p><span face=""calibri light" , sans-serif" style="background-color: white; font-size: 18pt;"></span><p><span face=""calibri light" , sans-serif" style="background-color: white; font-size: 18pt;">9) Random question: Is anyone on your bad side this morning? <b>Yes, but I don't want to talk about it.

It's a new week and another installment of Toni Taddeo's Tuesday 4. I debated over the word episode and ended up with installment but I am still not satisfied. Oh well, here is is whatever it is and I do hope you enjoy joining in.<p></p><p>Let's talk about firsts in your life.</p><p>1. Do you remember your first pair of grown up style shoes, maybe high heels? How did that go? <b>I am not sure if they were my first high heels, but I remember having a red pair in high school. My mom always got my shoes for me, so I have no memories of going to buy some.</b></p><p>2. When was your first date and do you recall their name and where you went and what you did? <b> It was not a big deal. I do remember, we went out to eat and a movie. My first dates were not that exciting.</b></p><p>3. Do you have any memories of your first job? <b>Of course. I worked at McDonalds and it was so busy and fast paced.

It's about 4,000 miles from Piqua to London.

They say we always hang onto the negative things that happen to us and that it is our brain's way of keeping us safe. You might be told 10 great things about yourself and one bad thing. That bad things is the thing you will remember. We talk in my classroom how we learn from our mistakes and that is ok to make mistakes and that has been my experience. We learn and do better.

It tells a story but I think the story is left up to us to figure out.<p></p><p>1. What do you think the man in the painting is thinking? <b> Wow, that sundae looks good. Maybe I should get one after I eat my lunch.</b></p><p>2. In your story what kind of sandwich and beverage is he having?</p><p><b>Grilled cheese and coffee.</b></p><p>3. Do you think he is a stranger to the children or does he know them? Why do you think so? <b>I want to think he is a stranger, why would he look at them that way?</b></p><p>4. Do you keep ice cream at home? Banana splits usually have 3 or 4 scoops of ice cream. What flavor ice cream should be in your banana split? <b>We have some Neapolitan right now, but I am a vanilla fan. I would have the normal three, vanilla, chocolate and strawberry with great toppings if I had a banana split. I don't think I have ever ordered a banana split. I always get a turtle sundae. </b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsGWcjIZux9BNy6LDJpuUxKUkGBlc1p_iihgD4NpMA7aZuePcYYbpQt1B3ZQ-QdQhBmBmo9gdYuSzzIfSRrgjF1x-Ojc3o9COpaBPc2rrQQ4Cw11Y0OhVqSxk_8nPUP9_2QNWnX9dzKmEPBx-zWAAS4FfObSzTAqo3kNyzV_1N2Gv_ttn_9Bm9IPlb8mI/s768/Turtle-Sundae.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Hear it <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5UDiQC3RDs" style="text-decoration-line: none;">here</a>.</span><br /><br /><span face=""calibri light" , sans-serif" style="font-size: 18pt;">1) Ricky Nelson sings of a girl with "carefree devil eyes." Are your eyes your best feature? If not, what is? <b>My eyes were a good feature of mine when I was younger. They have glasses on them now so I can see. I would say my smile might be a better feature now.</b></span><span face=""calibri light" , sans-serif" style="font-size: 18pt;"><br /></span></span><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 15.456px;"></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 15.456px;"></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 15.456px;"><span face=""calibri light" , sans-serif" style="background-color: white; font-size: 18pt;">2) "Poor Little Fool" literally arrived at Ricky's doorstep. A pretty girl knocked on his front door, and played and sang her original composition for him. Who has most recently knocked on your front door (or rung the bell)? <b>Probably a delivery driver.</b><br /></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white;"><span face=""calibri light" , sans-serif"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, FreeSerif, serif;"><span style="font-size: 18pt;">3) That girl was Sharon Sheeley. A teen model in Los Angeles during the 1950s, she met many of the early rock stars at promotional events. Elvis encouraged her to follow her heart and start writing songs, so she did. Who have you advised recently? Did they take your advice? <b> I </b></span><span style="font-size: 24px; font-weight: bold;">can't</span><span><span style="font-size: 18pt;"><b> remember. This is what I get for filling this out at bedtime after </b></span><span style="font-size: 24px;"><b>being</b></span><span style="font-size: 18pt;"><b> in a teacher conference all day.</b></span></span></span></span><br /><br /><span face=""calibri light" , sans-serif"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, FreeSerif, serif;"><span style="font-size: 18pt;">4) With the success of "Poor Little Fool," Sharon gave up modeling and concentrated on music. Her songs were recorded by singers such as Richie Valens, Glen Campbell and Johnny Rivers. How many different occupations have you tried? Which was your favorite? <b>McDonald's, grocery store, </b></span><b><span style="font-size: 24px;">working</span><span style="font-size: 18pt;"> with the mentally handicapped in supported living and teaching (4). Teaching is by far my f</span></b></span></span></span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, FreeSerif, serif;"><span style="font-size: 24px;"><b>avorite.</b></span></span></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 15.456px;"><span face=""calibri light" , sans-serif" style="background-color: white; font-size: 18pt;">5) Ricky Nelson was the son of Ozzie and Harriet and brother of David Nelson. They began performing together as a family with their radio program <i>The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet</i>. They took the show to television in 1952, where they were referred to as "The Most Famous Family in America." What TV family would you like to hang around with? <b> I haven't ever even thought about it.</b></span></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 15.456px;"></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 15.456px;"><span face=""calibri light" , sans-serif" style="background-color: white; font-size: 18pt;">6) While Ricky eventually became the audience favorite, he wasn't initially a likely candidate for stardom. A producer described him as "an odd little kid," shy and small for his age. In those early days, big brother David was more outgoing and considered a natural actor. Thinking back to your preteen years, were you more like David or Rick? <b>Rick. I was always shy.</b></span></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 15.456px;"><span face=""calibri light" , sans-serif" style="background-color: white; font-size: 18pt;">7) Ricky never got over his shyness. He often closed his eyes as he sang on camera or before an audience because it helped him battle his nerves and concentrate on the music. Fan magazine oohed and aahed over his beautiful long lashes and young girls fantasized about Ricky closing his eyes before leaning in for a kiss. Who was your big pre-teen crush? <b>Ricky Shroeder when I was little.</b><br /></span></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 15.456px;"></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 15.456px;"><span face=""calibri light" , sans-serif" style="background-color: white; font-size: 18pt;">8) In 1958, when "Poor Little Fool" was #1, American women were shopping for Italian-inspired footwear. Heels were lower, and the leather was textured and less shiny that the popular patent leather of years gone by.

Maybe you can post a photo of it or describe it for us? <b>My area is just my normal chair in my living room. It is comfy and quiet. </b></p><p><span style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, Palatino Linotype, Palatino, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14.3px;">2.Some say reading makes a person more educated, more informed. Do you think novels do this in any way? Do you learn things from novels? Would you tell us what you have learned? </span></span><b style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, "Palatino Linotype", Palatino, serif; font-size: 14.3px;"> I do learn when I am reading. I learn a lot when I read historical fiction. I do learn a lot just reading any type of book though. I read a book called Before We Were Yours and it was about Georgia Tann. She would have children kidnapped and then sell the kids to families wanting to adopt children. It was a great book, very sad...but true. I had never heard of this. I can say the same thing about several historical fiction books I have read. Before we Were Yours actually follows some fictional children, but when Lisa Wingate was writing this book, she talked to several survivor children from this time to create her characters. </b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, Palatino Linotype, Palatino, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14.3px;"><b>Georgia</b></span></span><b style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, "Palatino Linotype", Palatino, serif; font-size: 14.3px;"> Tann was thought to have stolen over 5,000 children.

font-size: 18pt;">Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJFVPxBpezk" style="text-decoration-line: none;">here</a>.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 18pt;">1) The song is about a girl who is too young for romance. How old were you when your parents allowed you to date? <b>16</b></span><br /><br /><span face=""calibri light" , sans-serif"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, FreeSerif, serif;"><span style="font-size: 18pt;">2) Lead singer Gary Puckett mentions the girl's perfume. What scent do you wear most often? <b>I do not wear </b></span><b><span style="font-size: 24px;">perfume</span><span style="font-size: 18pt;">, but I put on Victoria's Secret Bare Vanilla or Pure Seduction lotion.</span></b></span></span></span><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 15.456px;"></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 15.456px;"><span face=""calibri light" , sans-serif" style="background-color: white; font-size: 18pt;">3) "Young Girl" reached #2 on the charts and stayed there for three weeks, but it never hit #1. It was stuck behind Otis Redding's "(Sittin' on) The Dock of the Bay." Are you competitive by nature? Or would you be satisfied doing well, but not being #1? <b> I am really not competitive. I am happy doing well.</b></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 18pt;">4) The Union Gap got together in San Diego, California's second most populated city. Have you ever visited California? If yes, where did you go? <b>no</b></span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, FreeSerif, serif;"><span face=""calibri light" , sans-serif" style="font-size: 18pt;"></span></span><br /><br /><span face=""calibri light" , sans-serif"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, FreeSerif, serif;"><span style="font-size: 18pt;">5) The Union Gap performed at a White House state dinner for special guests Prince Charles and Princess Anne. Some in attendance that night maintain that President Nixon seemed to be playing matchmaker that night between the Prince and his daughter, Tricia. Have you ever tried to fix people up? If yes, did romance result? <b> I </b></span><b><span style="font-size: 24px;">don't</span><span style="font-size: 18pt;"> think I have ever fixed anyone up.</span></b></span><br /></span></span></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 15.456px;"></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 15.456px;"><span face=""calibri light" , sans-serif" style="background-color: white; font-size: 18pt;">6) After six Top 20 hits in three years, the Union Gap disbanded. Today Gary Puckett tours as a solo artist on the "oldies circuit" with Peter Noone of the Herman's Hermits. Without looking it up, can you name any of the Herman's Hermits hits? <b>no...so I did look them up because they sounded familiar. I know the songs I'm Into Something Good and I'm Henry VIII I Am.</b><br /></span></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 15.456px;"></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 15.456px;"><span face=""calibri light" , sans-serif" style="background-color: white; font-size: 18pt;">7) In 1968, when "Young Girl" was a hit, Jacqueline Kennedy married Aristotle Onassis. Think about the last wedding you attended. Were you closer to the bride or groom? <b>groom, my nephew's wedding.</b><br /></span></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 15.456px;"><span face=""calibri light" , sans-serif" style="background-color: white; font-size: 18pt;">8) Also in 1968, the most popular movie in theaters was <i>Funny Girl</i>, starring Barbra Streisand. What's the last movie you watched? <b>Killers of the Flower Moon...such a sad story. It took place in Oklahoma and my family is from there.</b><br /></span></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 15.456px;"></p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, FreeSerif, serif;"><span face=""calibri light" , sans-serif" style="background-color: white; font-size: 18pt;"></span></span><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 15.456px;"><span face=""calibri light" , sans-serif" style="background-color: white; font-size: 18pt;">9) Random question -- Come clean: Right now are there more dishes in your sink or clothes in your hamper? <b>Not much in either.

The girl that threw her party had it at a winery. I never drink, but that day I was really stressed out because I was running late and I got lost, so I had a glass of wine, but just one. It was delicious. I do not drink. I could drink wine though. Fun fact, I have her baby...now 4 years old in my pre-K classroom.<br /></span></span></div><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 15.456px; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span><div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-3295432956623935327" itemprop="description articleBody" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 16.2288px; line-height: 1.5; position: relative; width: 558px;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span face=""calibri light" , sans-serif" style="font-size: 18pt; font-weight: normal;">2) The lyrics refer to wine as a "spirit."

When "Hotel California" was popular, listeners who were into wine called radio stations to let them know about the mistake.

One explanation for their enduring popularity is that their music spans genres. They scored hits on the rock, pop and country charts.

I spent New Year's Eve at the ER with my mom again...another UTI and she was confused. We were there 6 hours. We went to bed at 4AM. The ER got busy at midnight with the people that had been drinking too much. Anyway, she I am writing this on Friday morning and she is at our house, but could probably go home soon.

Are you trying to lose a few pounds after the holidays? <b>not right now.</b><br /></span></div><div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-3295432956623935327" itemprop="description articleBody" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 17.8923px; line-height: 1.5; position: relative; width: 558px;"><span face=""calibri light" , sans-serif" style="background-color: white; font-size: 18pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-3295432956623935327" itemprop="description articleBody" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 17.8923px; line-height: 1.5; position: relative; width: 558px;"><span face=""calibri light" , sans-serif" style="background-color: white; font-size: 18pt;">3) The specific dessert referred to is a <a href="https://www.lanascooking.com/charlotte-russe/#h-how-to-make-charlotte-russe" style="text-decoration-line: none;">Charlotte Russe</a>, a cake made with custard, fruit, cream, whiskey and gelatin. Preparation sounds like a great deal of work! What's the most recent dish you whipped up in your kitchen? <b>I baked cookies the other day.

Do you enjoy nightlife or are you more outdoorsy? <b>I would have said nightlife when I was younger.

While best known for his work on TV (he was the first host of <i>The Tonight Show</i>), he was also a composer who felt most creative at the piano. When do you feel most creative? <b>I don't really ever feel creative. I will say lesson planning and house decorating.</b></span></div><div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-3295432956623935327" itemprop="description articleBody" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 17.8923px; line-height: 1.5; position: relative; width: 558px;"><span face=""calibri light" , sans-serif" style="background-color: white; font-size: 18pt;"> <span face=""calibri light" , sans-serif" style="font-size: 18pt;"><br /><span face=""calibri light" , sans-serif" style="font-size: 18pt;">6) This week's artist, Jack Jones, won a pair of Grammy Awards and has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Yet he's probably best known for singing the song that welcomed travelers aboard <i>The Love Boat</i> every week. What TV theme song can you sing along with? <b>FRIENDS, but I can sing a lot of theme songs. </b></span></span></span></div><div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-3295432956623935327" itemprop="description articleBody" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 17.8923px; line-height: 1.5; position: relative; width: 558px;"><span face=""calibri light" , sans-serif" style="background-color: white; font-size: 18pt;"> </span></div><div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-3295432956623935327" itemprop="description articleBody" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 17.8923px; line-height: 1.5; position: relative; width: 558px;"><span face=""calibri light" , sans-serif" style="background-color: white; font-size: 18pt;">7) In 1959, when this song was popular, "continuing dramas" (aka soap operas) like <i>Young Dr. Malone</i> and <i>Ma Perkins</i> were broadcast daily on the radio. When you turn on the radio, do you listen for news, talk or music? <b>music</b><br /></span></div><div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-3295432956623935327" itemprop="description articleBody" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 17.8923px; line-height: 1.5; position: relative; width: 558px;"><span face=""calibri light" , sans-serif" style="background-color: white; font-size: 18pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-3295432956623935327" itemprop="description articleBody" style="line-height: 1.5; position: relative; width: 558px;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span face=""calibri light" , sans-serif" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 18pt;">8) Now let's turn the calendar and our attention from 1959 to 2024. Is there a skill you're looking forward to learning, or improving, this year? <b>The only skills I have planned to improve on right now are teaching reading skills. I will be attending training for specifically teaching young kids reading.</b></span><br /><br /><span face=""calibri light" , sans-serif"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, FreeSerif, serif;"><span style="font-size: 18pt;">9) Have you purchased anything on impulse yet this year? <b> I have bought some more </b></span><b><span style="font-size: 24px;">clothes</span><span style="font-size: 18pt;">.</span></b></span></span></span></div><div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-3295432956623935327" itemprop="description articleBody" style="line-height: 1.5;

What are you doing New Years Eve and New Year's Day? <b> We usually watch the ball drop on NYE and take down Christmas decorations on NY's day. I like to clean house really good to start off the new year. I get busy once I start back to school.</b><br /></p><p>2. Do you have any New Year traditions? Rose Parade? Mummers? Football games or parties? <b>We watch the Rose Parade and Karl watches football games. Josh will be done with his job for the season, so he will be home. They open again in March. I will probably read or watch tv.</b></p><p>3. Is the day after Christmas a bit of a let down or do you continue to be merry and bright? <b>Not really. I get sad when the lights come down, so more like New Year's day. I do like a clean house though.</b></p><p>4. Do you have anything in mind for the new year and do you start off the new year with high hopes and expectations? <b> I used to look forward to the New Year, but as I get older, I worry about what is to come. I worry about my mom and Meisha as they are getting older. I shouldn't worry I know. It is out of my control.

As you can see, when Sam Winters was a little girl, she loved giving her annual wish list to Santa. If you could ask Santa for anything at all, right now, what would it be? <b>Since this is a Santa gift and not a prayer gift, I will say money. It would be nice to pay some things off.</b><br /><br />2. Are you currently on the Naughty or Nice list? How did you get there? <b>Nice. I am not mean, I am not one to be naughty. I help and give when I can. I try to make my classroom a happy place to be for all.</b></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, FreeSerif, serif;"><span style="font-size: 15.456px;">3. Are you traveling this Christmas? If so, are you going by car, plane or train? <b>The plan is to be at my house for Christmas and my mom come to visit us. I was sick, so just making sure it is a healthy place to be for my mom. We will need to go to her house also to take her gift down for her...it is big, we will go by car.</b></span></span><b><br /></b><br /><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, FreeSerif, serif;"><span style="font-size: 15.456px;">4. Did you ship any gifts to friends and family this year? If yes, which one traveled the farthest? <b>no, I was able to take gifts to everyone in person.</b></span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, FreeSerif, serif;"><span style="font-size: 15.456px;">5. Did you buy yourself a gift this year? <b>Yes, I bought some clothes.</b></span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, FreeSerif, serif;"><span style="font-size: 15.456px;">6. Which do you prefer: candy canes or gingerbread? <b>candy canes, but we have both in my classroom. We cook a gingerbread man and he runs around the school and we have to find him, we go to the gym and he has been there but says we are too slow we need to look at the nurses' office and so on. Then the kids get to try gingerbread cookies. One of my kids got frustrated with him and said he was so naughty...hahaha. The elf on the shelf brings candy canes from Santa for the Polar Express Day. We also had theater popcorn for our movie day. I missed the holiday party, I was sick.</b></span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, FreeSerif, serif;"><span style="font-size: 15.456px;">7. Close your eyes and tell us the first carol that comes to mind. <b>Oh Christmas Tree</b></span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, FreeSerif, serif;"><span style="font-size: 15.456px;">8. What's your favorite winter beverage? <b>Hot Chocolate...we had that at our Polar Express movie day too.

Swift said it was inspired by tales of Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton embarking on a love affair while co-starring in <i>Cleopatra</i>. Elizabeth and Richard fell in love in Rome, while this video was filmed outside of Gaborone, Botswana.

Then, from 1962 to 1967, local TV stations reran it in syndication. </span><span face=""calibri light" , sans-serif" style="font-size: 18pt;">In 1989, there was a Mickey Mouse Club reboot, which launched the careers of Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilara. </span><span face=""calibri light" , sans-serif" style="font-size: 18pt;">So <i>The Mickey Mouse Club</i> has entertained generations of kids.

Producers discovered her at a local dancing school.

She went to public school, graduated, got married, and had a daughter. When she was in her 30s, she was involved in a car accident that left her paralyzed from the waist down. Still, she went back to college, earning first her bachelor's and then Master's degrees in psychology. Have you considered continuing your education? What subject would you pursue? <b>I have considered that, but I am close to retirement.

As he entered his teens, he prioritized school over TV. He later </span><span face=""calibri light" , sans-serif" style="font-size: 18pt;">returned to television as musician on <i>The Carol Burnett Show</i>. He also performed in concert behind The Carpenters. Do you have a favorite Carpenters song? <b>I like Rainy Days and Mondays, but I sang "We've Only Just Begun" as a duet with a friend in high school.

Not many Americans saw him in color, though. It wasn't until 1972 that color TVs outsold black-and-white sets. Did you ever own a black-and-white TV? <b>I have never personally owned a b&w tv, but my parents were given a 2nd tv that they kept in a spare bedroom when I was young.

What are your plans for Saturday night? (No, we don't expect you to tell us you'll be working undercover for a government agency.)<b> Probably watching Hallmark Christmas movies and drinking hot chocolate.</b></span><br /><br /><span face=""calibri light" , sans-serif" style="font-size: 18pt;">2) At a bar, he meets a woman in a black dress. The LBD, or little black dress, is a wardrobe staple for many women because it's appropriate for almost any occasion. Let's say you get a last-minute invitation for a "dressy" dinner this weekend and you don't have the time or money to buy something new. What's your go-to outfit from your closet? <b> I do not have any dresses anymore. I really need to buy one just to have, but if we were going out, I would wear some nice slacks and one of my kimono caridgans. </b></span><br /><br /><span face=""calibri light" , sans-serif" style="font-size: 18pt;">3) Everyone at the bar starts to run when they hear sirens. Do you often hear sirens in your neighborhood? <b>not often, but sometimes. I live in a small town, so not a lot of people.</b></span></span></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 15.456px;"><span face=""calibri light" , sans-serif" style="background-color: white; font-size: 18pt;">4) In 1972, the year this week's song was on the charts, Popeye's opened their first fast-food chicken restaurant in Louisiana. Now that the Thanksgiving feast is over, will you be eating any carry-out this weekend? <b> Probably, we are usually either out of leftovers by then or sick of them. I sent a lot of food home with my mom, so hopefully we are finished with the leftovers by the weekend.</b><br /></span></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 15.456px;"></p><p><span style="background-color: white;"><span face=""calibri light" , sans-serif"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, FreeSerif, serif;"><span style="font-size: 18pt;">5) Black is this week's signature color because November 24 was Black Friday, when retailers historically have slashed their prices and the holiday shopping season begins. Have you begun your gift shopping? </span></span><b style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 18pt;">Yes, I have gifts for my co-workers and I am Secret Santa to a person at work also. I am working on her gifts also. I also started my mom's gift shopping.

If you could have a $100 gift card from one of those stores, which would you choose? What would you buy? <b>Walmart for groceries. I do not mind buying gifts, but the price of food annoys me.</b></span></span></p><p style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 15.456px;"><span face=""calibri light" , sans-serif" style="background-color: white; font-size: 18pt;">7) This Monday is sometimes known as Cyber Monday because shoppers can find big savings online.

Let's talk about the holiday and thankfulness.<br /></p><p>1. Whether you are from the USA or not, thankfulness is beneficial to a nation and people. Is it a natural thing for you to think of being thankful or is it something you must be reminded about? <b>It is natural for me to be thankful. Even when bad things happen, I am looking for the positive.</b></p><p>2. Plimoth Plantation is the site of the original settlement and everything is authentic to the 1600's including how they speak. Have you been to Plymouth Rock? How about the Plimoth Plantation (yes that is the proper spelling). Would you like to go visit these places? What places are you thankful for having seen? <b>I have not seen these places, but I would enjoy seeing them. I am most thankful for seeing the ocean. It was such a neat vacation and I enjoyed seeing the dolphins. I cried when I saw mountains. I want to go stay in the mountains someday.</b></p><p>3. Do you tune into the Macy's Parade? <b> YES! I remember watching that at my Granie and Papa's house as a kid. We always have it on and the dog show and football. I love Thanksgiving. I am sure I will be watching the Black Friday sales online too.</b></p><p>4. What will you be eating on Thanksgiving Day this year? <b> Smoked turkey, mashed potatoes/gravy, hot rolls, vegetables, deviled eggs, dressing. We will also have pumpkin pie, pecan pie, lemon meringue pie and German Chocolate cake (my mom's favorite). She will be turning 80.</b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.lilpixelart.com/LPAsigmachine/index.htm" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="172" data-original-width="229" height="172" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSRt1K_JK-pMKZqnpZAlHKHXlp_O1EVMiSApZrfeOeCMg_yUlCNY5tnWI4aES80HgBawwuR5ZwTz2IFLQ7YPSPEWWA_LwGT-R-M6OMeQf8G90C08sVufwPPecheVS9-BsUzB_LmjGy0ztvjQDn-4XTiSPVKwBkL2u9lMGRt4oz4Tk8WitoCIm6zr_FC2U/s1600/thanks4_lpa.png" width="229" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p></div>Lorihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02714983663361708340noreply@blogger.com5
