It’s that time of the week again folks. Here I am answering our hostess Cee’s five questions so that you can share in a part of my world.

Check out what others have shared HERE.

And here are the questions and my answers.

What are some words that just make you smile?

I love words period. But some of the words that make me smile are: hoi palloi, hoity toity, cattywhompus, and a word that my family uses to refer to bad drivers on the road that probably should not make me smile but just does…yep I’m going to leave you guessing what that word is. Maybe someday you will drive with one of my family members and discover it but until then…

You’re given $500,000 dollars tax free (any currency), what do you spend it on? 

Getting my sister back to Holland for her mission work and fixing up the house.

What subject would you like to study in depth, if given the time to do so?

I would love more time to study the art of writing effectively.

Would your rather be stuck in a small plane with bad turbulence for 2 hours or be a passenger in a car racing the Daytona 500?

Daytona 500 no contest. I have been stuck in a turbulent flight and that was no fun. I thought the wings were going to flap right off the plane.

Bonus question:  What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up?

I am grateful I got to spend some wonderful time with my son before he left for South Korea to begin his teaching career. Next week I am looking forward to preaching the chapel services for The Special Touch Northeast Regional Getaway in the Berkshires.

The last breakfast with Grammy Lillie and Aunt Brenda.
