1. The Olympics kick off this coming weekend. Will you be watching? If you could watch just one event in person, which one would you choose? 

I will be watching what I can before we leave for Montana. That one person would be Simone Biles. 

2. Have you ever been to Paris? Is this a city you'd like to visit? What's your favorite 'French thing'? 

Yes I have been to Paris. I would love to go back to Paris again. I love the Eiffel Tower but I'm thinking your asking for something like French Toast. 

3. Macaron, creme brulee, chocolate soufle, mille feuille, or an eclair...your favorite French patisserie from the ones listed? 

I would go with the eclair. 

4. July 24th is National Cousins Day...do you have many cousins? Are you close to them? Will you see any of your cousins on July 24th? 

I just have two cousin and I never see them. I do keep in touch with one of them.

5.  Last time you went somewhere that felt like 'everyone and his cousin' was there? 

I can't think of anything except maybe the airport. 

6. Insert your own random thought here.

When we watched the dogs last week at Adam and Gabby's we had gotten James on Wednesday at his cousins house and we took him to Irvine Regional Park.  We had a nice time with him. 

James was tired and ready to go home.

It was really hot outside!

We rode the train and went to the zoo.

We did see a mountain lion at the zoo!

This is the menu from The French Laundry. The chef did sign it for them. Also everything on that menu is brought to you one at a time with new silverware each time. They said it was unbelievable! 

I might be late in posting next week. We will be arriving at Amber and Dylan's late in the evening on Tuesday so I may not be able to work on the post until Wednesday morning.

1. What is an adult problem nobody prepared you for? 

I'm not sure but I wish I was better prepared to take care of my body. Gosh, I remember my mom going to a place that had machines that did the work. We were not taught much about exercise, eating healthy and drinking water.....

2. Without mentioning any tech, what's your most prized possession? 

I have my grandfather's Singer sewing machine. He was a tailor. I also have my grandmothers wooden ironing board. We also have the dining room set that belonged to Mark's grandparents. His grandmother was born in 1900.

3. It's National Peach Ice Cream Day (July 17th). Will you be celebrating? Do you like peaches? Given a choice would you prefer peach ice cream, peach pie, peach cobbler, or just hand me a peach? Do you own anything that is peach in color? 

No, I won't be celebrating. I do like peaches. I would prefer a peach. No, I can't think of anything that I own that is peach. 

4. What makes a friendship successful? 

Listening and keeping in contact, along with meeting up for lunch. 

5. Let's give our brains a rest and do a little summertime this or that...beach or pool? ice cream or snowcone? amusement park or camping? burger or hot dog? watermelon or strawberries? get up early or sleep in late? sunrise or sunset? 

I like to walk on the beach but I would rather swim in a pool. I choose ice cream. I used to like camping but haven't been in a long time. I will pick a hot dog since we don't have them very often. I pick watermelon. I get up early. I choose sunset. 

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

As I type this, we are at Adam and Gabby's watching the dogs. James is over at his cousins house and Mark will pick him up tomorrow morning. We plan on going to Irvine Park to ride the train and maybe do the small zoo. Adam and Gabby get back tomorrow afternoon.
