Sunday Stealing

Our host is Bev Sykes of the blog "Funny the World". . Welcome to Sunday Stealing. 

These are several questions stolen from Durward Discussion: a trip through time.

Firsts

1. When you looked at yourself in the mirror today, what was the first thing you thought?

Goodness, look at that bed head!!!

2. Where did you go on the very first vacation of your life?

The first one I remember was to Richmond to see my Aunt and Uncle who was attending VCU to become a doctor, and then on up to Washington, DC. in 1957.I remember standing in front of the White House feeding some squirrels.

3. Open the door of your refrigerator. What is the first thing you see?

My bowl of fruited yogurt hubs made for me!

4. Tell us about your first kiss OR your last first date.

My first date with hubs was in 1967, he asked me in economics class if I was going to the homecoming bonfire. Well, I hadn't planned to and had no way to get there, but I said, sure, I hope to.

Hubs had no car at that time, I spent the rest of the afternoon talking to kids in my neighborhood about possibly going with them, I finally talked Mary into going if Dad would drive us. Dad had strict rules to pick us up at 10:00. Mom took me to a really fine clothing store and bought me an outfit she thought would be good to take to college... back then we dressed up for college, so I wore a pair of robin's egg blue wool slacks and a white and robin's egg blue ski sweater. WHen we got there I had explained that I might meet a guy from class there and she was fine because some of her friends were there so we planned to meet at the drop off place at 10 sharp. Nervous as a cat in a room full of rocking chairs, I wandered around the school field wondering if the guy would show up... suddenly, there he was... coming over to me.. the rest of the night went by so quickly I can't remember much, but we did walk a fairly long way down the street to a Tastee Freeze and we had hot chocolate because it was a rather brisk evening. Sweetly, recently, Hubs asked me...do you remember was was significant of today's date? October 16, AW!!!!

5. If you had wings to fly about the universe, where is the first place you’d land? Well, I would safely stay in the confines of Earth,  and I'd definitely drop down in the Cotswold area of England.  Several of my  ancesters lived there.

6. What is the first thing you do when you get in your car?

Adjust the seat and mirror,  check my make up and usually put some on...  buckle up and  drive away!

7. What is the first thing you ever said to your firstborn?WHen they placed Amanda in my arms in the Philadelphia Airport, I cried  and  snuzzled her... and then laughed with a bit of trepidation, as her  traveling companion jokingly told us" You guys get the booby prize. This young lady never closed her eyes on the 23 hour flight.." she arrived  along with  maybe  half dozen youngsters  from  Amanda's age of 3 months to age 4... all of whom seemed to be tired and  really sleepy.  AManda was wide eyed and  interested in what was happening to her. I was thinking . HUH!?!  Amanda never slept   at bit that nightat the hotel.  Everytime we turned  off the light  she would scream.  So I rocked her in the chair    by the light of the parking lot all night..  It wasn't until we were on our  way home in the car that she finally gave it up!

BY that time I was frantic  thinking  oh, no, they failed to give me an owner's manual!  I was a 35 yer old first time mama, totally inexperienced, well read,  but couldn't remember a thing!

 November 9, 1985.

8. What is the last thing you heard about your first love? Hew as retired from the Veteran's Administration and he and his wife were living the good life in a retirment village in Florida.

9. If you had created the world in seven days yourself, what would you have created on the First Day?

I wouldn't dare  think to improve on what  GOd did. It was perfect and all good!

10. What is the first song in your IPOD or song list?

11. What is the first tangible thing you lost that you could never find again?

I did it twice  had it, lost it,  bought anothr one,  lost it.  gave it up..

When I went there it was a college not a university.
Mine was much prettier. ... the words were etched and  barely perceivable.  Waht makes me mad is  the only way Icould have lost it was to have left it in someone's window sill while I washed theer dishes.. ! BAH!!

12. Who is your favorite First Lady of all time?
Jacqueline Kennedy

13. Post a link to your first blog post.

14. When was the last time you needed First Aid?
Following my last  skin graft on my nose.  I ahve had two..  and  I fear  I may need yet another..  I am now awaiting hearing from my surgeon  about seeing him  about  checking out a  spot of concern!

15. Can you explain what a first down is in football?
to my mind it the offensive team's attempt to move the ball 10 yards  toward the goal line.  THey are given 5 tries  to  be successful,  then they must punt the ball  downfield  thus passing the  offensive  mode to the other team.
