1. I live in the south so we're pretty much only talking about the weather right now. Give us a weather report from where you live. Does the kind of weather you're having today affect your mood in some way? 

We live in Southern California and our weather has been pretty nice. We have had some rain and cooler temperatures. 

It can get to about 40 at night this time of year and during the day we have been close to 70 degrees. No the weather really doesn't affect my mood unless it rains for several days. 

2.  Avocados, kale, cauliflower and cottage cheese have all had their time to shine. 2026 brings us the year of the cabbage. Is this a vegetable you like? If so, what are some of your favorite dishes that call for cabbage?  

I do like cabbage but haven't had any in a long time. We used to cook it often. We would saute it in a pan and have soy sauce with it. 

3. Was a Cabbage Patch Doll a part of your childhood? Or maybe your children's childhood? What's a toy trend from your childhood you remember wanting for your own? 

No, it was not, but it was part of our daughter Amber's life. 

I would say for me it was probably a Barbie doll, a hula hoop and Silly Putty in the 50's. 

4. Something you've spent a lot of time doing lately?

I posted this on Facebook last week. I finally felt well enough to pack up the couple of hundred ornaments on the tree. So the Christmas tree is finally down. Family room is back in order. 

5. Somehow it's the last week of January...sum up your month in just three sentences. 

NOT MY MONTH (I don't have three sentences)

I've had extreme anxiety. 

6. Insert your own random thought here.

I won't go into detail about January but I did have some wonderful times with Adam, Gabby and James and also some nice phone calls with Amber daily. She usually calls us when Dylan is sleeping for his night shift at the hospital. 

LOVE, DEBBY
