If you could live anywhere, where would it be? I would live near all three of my children--at once, but they are in three cities in three different states. Since that is impossible, I would live right where I do, across a covered bridge from an Amish farm.
What holiday traditions do you look forward to? Yearly the Friday after Thanksgiving, we take a horse and wagon ride to cut our tree at a nearby Christmas tree farm. Then on Christmas Eve, we always participate in the candlelight Service of Lessons and Carols at our church.
What book did you recently read and love? The book that sticks with me is Unbroken.
What is your dream job? Before I had children, I was a reporter for The Richmond Times Dispatch in their Charlottesville bureau. It combined my love for meeting people and for writing. How blessed I was to have had my dream job!
What is your favorite city? I love the cities where our kids live: Richmond, VA; Washington, DC and Kansas City, KS. Of the three, I'd have to vote for DC, because I grew up across the river in Virginia, and loved its vibrancy, its architecture, and its history.

Who is your favorite artist? I'd have to say Mary Cassatt because of her subject matter: mothers and children.

I love where I live in NY although the taxes are really high and now that my kids are not in the school district I would love to live in VA or NC but that would only be if my kids and grandkids moved near me. Right now I live less than 3 hours from all of my kids and grandkids and God wants in here because of the ministries he has called us to serve in, so I am very content.
ReplyDeleteI love Thanksgiving because there is no commercialism, just family, faith and genuine gratitude.
I love Choosing Gratitude by Nancy DeMoss and reread it frequently. It puts things in perspective.
I love teaching but with all the new Common Core stuff it's not the fun it used to be. Kids are more disrespectful and so it is not what it used to be. However I do love children, so working in a school where thinking and creativity were valued and children where respectful of authority and loved coming to school would be my idea of ideal.
I am not a big fan of cities and only go into NYC occasionally because of traffic and prices. I also lived outside Washington, D.C. and spent many class and family trips learning about the great men and women who founded our country. Although I wouldn't call myself "politically passionate," I do love the memorials and buildings in D.C.
Finally, I visit Facebook and connect with people who I haven't seen in years, like the writer of this blog! I love learning about how people have traveled through their years when we were not in contact.
Great to hear from you, Cheryl. Yes, we were in northern Virginia together. I often forget that, but instead remember our Main Line connection. I didn't know that you are still teaching. You make me want to get Nancy's book. Finally, I love reconnecting with friends like you on FB, too. Enjoy this season of gratitude.
DeleteSo glad you played along and happy to see DC as one of your favorite cities!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you chose DC - yay!!! I love it here, too! Speaking of love, that Canton collection is beautifully displayed in your corner cabinet - love it!
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Loi
PS - Wonderful holiday traditions!
