Giving you the heads up these questions are all over the place..........

If you could travel anywhere on vacation and money was no object where would you go? How long would you like to go away (from home and work)? Why would you pick this vacation spot? Who would you bring with you? I would love to travel to Hawaii. It just looks like a beautiful place to visit and spend time in. I would love to bring the entire family......not just my kids but parents too. I think 2 weeks would be a good amount of time away from the bump and daily grind.
Do you burn candles? Do you burn candles all year long? Winter/Summer? What are you favorite sense? Do you prefer jar candles, votive, tealights or tarts? I actually burn candles all year long but heavy in the cooler months. I really love the Yankee Candle Company Rose scent. I actually use all different kinds since I have various holders from when I used to sell Partylite Candles.
Summer is here and it is BBQ time! What is your favorite thing to throw on that BBQ? Who does the cooking.......you or someone else? Do you use the grill all year long? We use our BBQ all year long. My favorite is grilled chicken breast and a good old fashion hamberger w/Mozzarella cheese (insert smile here). Bill's idea of cooking on the grill is to throw the stuff on and walk away. When I do it I run back and forth between the kitchen and grill because I usually have something on both. My favorite now is Billy, he does a great job because he watches it, does not burn or over cook anything and well I just like the feeling of having my older son around helping me out.
Would you like a salad with that? I know we all eat salads but this time of year more then other. Do you eat salad before your regular meal or is it part of the meal (side dish)? What is your favorite kind of salad? When you make it, what do you put in it? I love a salad but hate making it. I kind of go for the basic salad of lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, fresh mushrooms and carrotts. My dressing will vary depending upon my mood. I love Kraft lite.....Three Cheese Ranch and Fat Free raspberry vingerette. I try to eat one with most of meals if I did not have one as lunch. Sometimes this is the only way I get my vegtables in.
You are a tree.......what kind of tree would you be? Where would you like to be planted and why? I would be a weeping willow and I would love to be planted in a huge back yard. I would love to have a swing for two hanging from my huge old branches so I could shade people when they want to cool down and talk.

This is a bit new for me but I'll give it a try! Haven't been around, I have family visiting and life is chaotic, not to mention tiring! Hope to get to know everyone better next week,
If you could travel anywhere on vacation and money was no object where would you go? How long would you like to go away (from home and work)? Why would you pick this vacation spot? Who would you bring with you?
I'd love to spend time in Australia and New Zealand, at least a month.
If you could travel anywhere on vacation and money was no object where would you go? How long would you like to go away (from home and work)? Why would you pick this vacation spot? Who would you bring with you? I've been wanting to go to Bermuda for years, but if money were no object maybe I'd choose Fiji and Tahiti and save the Bermuda trip for one I had to pay for. I'd take my family. I love tropical spots and the surfing is supposed to be great.
Do you burn candles? Do you burn candles all year long? Winter/Summer? What are you favorite sense? Do you prefer jar candles, votive, tealights or tarts? I burn them only from about Halloween through New Year's and it's usually the jar ones or pillars. I also use them sometimes if the electricity goes off during hurricanes or other storms. I love apple cinnamon and cucumber sage.
Summer is here and it is BBQ time! What is your favorite thing to throw on that BBQ? Who does the cooking.......you or someone else? Do you use the grill all year long? Definitely grouper steaks, corn on the cob, and asparagus all on the grill. Tim did the cooking, then Rob did. When things were normal (?) we used to grill year-round.
Would you like a salad with that? I know we all eat salads but this time of year more then other. Do you eat salad before your regular meal or is it part of the meal (side dish)? What is your favorite kind of salad? When you make it, what do you put in it? If I have a side salad I eat it first or it doesn't get eaten. My favorite is the one Bonefish Grill makes. It has bibb lettuce, black olives, sunflower seeds, hearts of palm, gorgonzola cheese, and I forget what else with the best citrus vinagrette dressing I've ever tasted. Lately, I make meal size salads of spinach, slivered almonds, grape tomatoes, slivered carrots, cucumbers, and a special bacon type spinach salad dressing.
You are a tree.......what kind of tree would you be? Where would you like to be planted and why? This is very hard for me because there are so many kinds of trees I love, so I don't know if I can narrow it down to one.
A minneola tangelo for delicious fruit and the most heavenly scented flowers.
A Japanese maple whose graceful form and blood red leaves turn electric scarlet when the sun shines through them.
A coconut palm, because they are so cool swaying in the breeze.
A Japaneses cherry tree like in DC for their sheer beauty.
A banyan tree, because they are one of the neatest looking trees I've ever seen.
I guess my very favorite would be a great climbing tree in Jackson's back yard, so he'd want to spend time up me reading and day dreaming the way I did in trees as a kid.
Great questions, LI-Deb! Thanks for the variety.

f you could travel anywhere on vacation and money was no object where would you go? How long would you like to go away (from home and work)? Why would you pick this vacation spot? Who would you bring with you? This is so hard...to many choices! At this point I think I would pick a spa week and just spend a week being pampered and any and all of you would be invited, meals served and cleaned up, massages, facials, manicures/pedicures, good books to read, good food to read and just general relaxation of the mind, body, soul. Can you tell I need a vacation?
Do you burn candles? Do you burn candles all year long? Winter/Summer? What are you favorite sense? Do you prefer jar candles, votive, tealights or tarts? Yes, I burn candles but mostly in the fall and winter. I love Yankee candles, I actually went to the Yankee Candle factory with DD after she moved to MA and stocked up! I love french vanilla, Macinstosh apple, lilac, clean linen and I love my tart warmer, votives and I love my Pier 1 Cranberry Balsam scent.
Summer is here and it is BBQ time! What is your favorite thing to throw on that BBQ? Who does the cooking.......you or someone else? Do you use the grill all year long? Shrimp, turkey burgers, chicken just about anything tastes good off the bbq and yes I do the cooking out there otherwise the XY puts things on and walks away until I yell that there's smoke pouring out of the grill! We do leave the grill out all year but grilling usually ends in the fall.
Would you like a salad with that? I know we all eat salads but this time of year more then other. Do you eat salad before your regular meal or is it part of the meal (side dish)? What is your favorite kind of salad? When you make it, what do you put in it? I usually eat it after the meal. I love pasta salads, regular salads with mixed greens, baby spinach, cucumbers, tomatoes, red peppers, craisins, some nuts thrown on the top,sliced baby carrots or shredded carrots, sometimes a little bit of cheese cut into small pieces tossed in there, apples are nice cut up small, grilled chicken if it's for lunch. Love salad!
You are a tree.......what kind of tree would you be? Where would you like to be planted and why? A big maple tree that someone could hang a swing from the limb and provide lots of shade to sit under on a hot summer day and then have everyone watch the leaves change into beautiful colors in the fall.
Thanks Deb!
