Question # 1: Which tastes better: black or green olives?
I love both, so I can’t choose between them. However, since I do try to watch how much extra sodium I take in, I tend to eat more black olives than green.
Question # 2: What’s your favorite room in your house?
Well, again, I can’t really choose. Depends on what I’m doing. I love my kitchen because I love the blue and white color scheme and the light, friendly atmosphere. But I enjoy my living room for a lot more hours of any given day. I have my computers, most of my books, and my watercolor materials in that room, so whether I’m writing, reading, researching, or painting, I’m enjoying the living room. The only things not in that room that I need periodically are my musical keyboard and my bed, and they both reside in the bedroom just off the living room. The only room I don’t actually enjoy is my second bedroom, which has been converted to a laundry room/storage room, and it’s a reminder of how very unorganized I am.
Question # 3: What fictional family would you be a member of?
Oh, definitely the family of characters I created in my Smoky Mountain Series novels. Of course that ‘family’ is made up of about 4 different families who are tightly intertwined. They are the kind of people I want to be and the kind of people I want for family and friends. Plus — they all live where I want to live: right smack-dab in the middle of the Smoky Mountains.
Questions # 4: What did you appreciate or what made you smile this week?
Ahhh! There’s no need to even think about this one: I paid off the mortgage on my house this week!!!!!!!!! Yes!!!!!!!! And I am smiling reeeeeeeaaaaallllly big. Thank you, God!
I didn’t know you like to paint.
Well, I am definitely NOT an artist, but I discovered that working with watercolor really relaxes me — sort of takes me away — from stuff. So I’ve been trying to spend more time doing that recently.
My kitchen is also blue and white tiling with cream paint..
Congrats on paying off your mortgage. Happy Day!! 😀
So you can paint as well, is there no end to your talents?
Well, if we’re going to be totally honest, I have a DESIRE to paint, but that doesn’t necessarily equal having a TALENT for painting. And truly I don’t have a talent for it, but I do enjoy it, and I think it helps me. So I’m satisfied. 🙂
