1. It's officially fall y'all. In the northern hemisphere anyway. Any signs of it where you are? What's your favorite thing about this time of year? 

We have definitely had some nice temperatures outside. It's been in the 70's rather than the 90's. We have James' birthday in October and mine is on the 3rd. 

2. Have you visited any 'falls' in person? Tell us about one of your favorites? Of the following top ten famous falls (according to this site ) which would you most like to see in person-

Victoria Falls (Zimbabwe/Zambia), Igazu Falls (Argentina/Brazil), Niagara Falls (US/Canada), Angel Falls (Venezuela), Yosemite Falls (California), Dettifoss (Iceland) Kaieteur Falls (Guyana), Plitvice Waterfalls (Croatia), Gullfoss-Golden Falls (Iceland), or Sutherland Falls (New Zealand)

I have seen Yosemite Falls and a few others up in Northern California. I would like to see Niagara Falls. They all look so beautiful. 

3. What's something you'll miss about summer? 

The long summer nights of daylight. 

4. A favorite fall recipe?

I can't really say that I have a favorite recipe other then Thanksgiving dinner which I don't have to make anymore. We go to Adam and Gabby's on Thanksgiving. We kind of eat the same things year round. 

5. Something you enjoy but lately have allowed it to 'fall by the wayside'? 

Mark and I talk about this all the time. However, it's not just now but since the pandemic. We still don't go to the movies or out to eat very often. We will be going out with Adam, Gabby and James on Sunday to celebrate my birthday which will be nice. 

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

Sadly I am still having issues with my lungs. I actually went to the ER last Wednesday. They couldn't find anything other than my chest congestion. Lungs looked good. So they gave me a steroid shot, breathing treatment and sent me home. 

Today is Tuesday as I type this and it is the first day that my lungs seem to be opening up.

Also James was sick. They took him to the doctor last week also. Thankfully he is doing much better and spent the weekend with his cousins.

1. If your life had a theme song for this past year what would it be? 

Sorry, I can't think of one at this time. 

2. Chocolate cake, chocolate milkshake, chocolate ice cream, chocolate truffle, chocolate mousse, chocolate candy bar or a fudgy chocolate brownie...of the chocolate treats listed, which one is your favorite? Which one have you tasted most recently? Or maybeJus you don't like chocolate???

I'm going to go with a chocolate candy bar. I haven't had any lately but if I did it would be a dark chocolate ball from See's or a few peanut butter M&M's. I do like chocolate. 

3. What has surprised you recently?

I am very surprised at some of the decisions that are being made in California concerning the children in school. Everything these days seems to be about control and I want my grandson to grow up like we did back in the day. 

4. September 19th is National Voter Registration Day in the US. Are you registered to vote in whatever state or country you happen to live in right now? If not, why not? Not counting a political race, what's something you've had to vote on recently? 

Yes, I am a registered voter. I had to do some voting a few weeks ago at bowling. We changed a few of the rules. I guess I could also say I voted on what we were going to order for dinner at Adam and Gabby's one night. 

5. Do you like to hike? If so, when's the last time you went hiking and where'd ya go? If you're not a hiker are you a walker? Is walking (for exercise, etc.) part of your daily/weekly routine? 

I used to enjoy hiking but unless it is extremely flat I just can't it is anymore with my COPD. Walking is not part of my daily exercise but I try to walk on my treadmill several times a week. With my lungs I do better indoors and we live on top of a hill so I can't really walk outside. 

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

I bought this puzzle for James for his birthday.
He loves his Papa and enjoys puzzles.
