1. Monday was National Apple Day...did you eat an apple or enjoy something made with apples on Monday? Do you like apples? Do you prefer your apples raw, baked, or in cider? Do you have a favorite variety of apple? 

I like apples but don't eat enough of them. Mark eats one almost everyday. I prefer a raw apple. I like a Granny Smith green apple. Mark like a Honey Crisp apple. 

2. Do you think there's any truth to the saying 'an apple a day keeps the doctor away'. Of the following healthy habits which do you find easiest to incorporate into your life and which is the most difficult for you to adopt-

adequate sleep, a balanced diet, plenty of water, eat breakfast, don't smoke, exercise, limit alcohol,  include fruits and vegetables in your diet, manage stress, limit screen time

I do believe that there is some truth in that. I eat a banana everyday. I like pears too but forgot to buy some yesterday. I try to get a good nights sleep and eat a balanced diet, along with drinking water. 

I used to eat breakfast but I'm just not hungry in the morning anymore. I don't smoke. I'm trying not to drink except socially but I am having issues with that. I don't seem to have control at home so I am trying to stop. 

I exercise most days and I do try to eat fruit and vegetables. I'm having trouble managing my stress right now. 

3. Who taught you how to drive? Do you enjoy driving? Would you rather be the driver or the passenger?  Do you have a favorite scenic drive near you? 

I believe my dad taught me to drive. I know we did those driving machines in High School. I would rather be the passenger. I do however like to drive but I won't drive at night. Well for now, I really enjoy our drives to Great Falls, Montana. 

If you look at this map, you could say that we leave from Corona and take the 15 freeway all the way to Great Falls, MT. 

4. What small habit has had a big act on your life? 

I seriously can't think of anything. I do however mail birthday cards to family and friends all the time and enjoy sending Christmas cards too. People appreciate that! 

5. Tell us about something nice that happened to you recently.

I'm going to go with the birthday lunch I had with my friend Kendra. Since I'm not able to bowl anymore, it meant a lot to me to get in some socializing. 

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

James' actual birthday was last Wednesday and we went out to dinner with Adam, Gabby and James. We went to Benihana's which was his choice. It was a great meal.....

One happy boy!

They sang Happy Birthday to James.

They took our photo.

We are seeing Adam and James tonight. Gabby is out of town so we are going to entertain James and give Adam a bit of a break.
