The Interview

These interview questions were asked of me by my oldest daughter Jen. I'll do my best to answer accurately. Here goes.

1. If you could spend one year anywhere you wanted, where would it be?
That is a tough one for me. One year. Well, I would REALLY love to spend an entire year in Alaska. I would love to see all of the wildlife up close and to look upon that magnificent landscape. As winter is one of my favorite seasons, one can understand why I chose that place.
2. If you could master one type of cuisine (Italian, French, Japenese, Mexican) which would you choose?

I think I would like to master Indian cuisine. No wait, perhaps Italian or Asian. I don't know. There are too many that I like. No, Indian it is.
3. If you were having a dinner party and could invite 5 celebrities, who would be there?

Okay, no laughing here. John Gormley ( the radio personality because I think he is very knowledgeable), Richard Gere (cuz the whole Buddhist thing intrigues me, plus he is easy on the eyes), Ellen Degeneres (because she is so so funny, even though I never watch her show), The Dalai Lama (for obvious reasons) and Meryl Streep (just cuz I love her acting).
4. What is one thing you MUST do before you die?

I must orienteer a canoe on a quiet lake all by myself.
5. What is one lesson you hope your children won't learn the hard way?

Oooh, good question. I don't want them to forget to appreciate all of the good things they have. They and I have so so much. People who we love and who love us. Enough money to live. The safety and security we each have just because we live in Canada. That is so important. We could all grumble and complain about one thing or another but if we compare our lives with those in other countries we have little to complain about. So, I don't want my girls to ever forget to be thankful for what they have. To learn the hard way would be terrible, like the song says " Don't it always seem to go, that you don't know what you've got til its gone."


If you want to be a part of this too, here's what you have to do:
1. Leave me a comment saying, “Interview me.”
2. I will respond by emailing you five questions. I get to pick the questions.
3. You will update your blog with the answers to the questions.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.
