Questions, Questions, Questions!

Since I was awarded the Liebster Award 4 times, I thought I'd do a post and try and answer all the questions at the same time.

 I was awarded by Rebekah

and by Rishona

 Are you ready for 44 questions?

1. What is your favorite thing to do during the summer? Well, since I'm not a fan of hot weather, I enjoy staying indoors and reading.

2. What's your favorite color? RED

3. What's your favorite Bible passage, and why? Oh, this one is hard. There are too many that have really been special to me over the years. 2 Samuel 22:33 has been one I keep going back to when I don't know what to do or feel overwhelmed by everything.

4. What do you want to be when you "grow up"? Can I say an author? :) A woman after God's own heart.

5. Who is your favorite author? Isabella McDonald Alden (Pansy) though I like many others as well.

6. What is your favorite book/series? How do you expect me to tell you my favorite book when I've read over 12,000? And a favorite series? We have over 4 dozen different book series in the house that I have read. I can't pick a favorite!

7. What is your favorite pastime? Reading, writing or holding/playing with babies or young children :)

8. What is your favorite season? Autumn! I love the colors, the crisp weather, the wearing of sweaters and jackets, the crunch of the leaves, . . . Is it fall yet? I also really enjoy winter when we have snow and cold. :)

9. What's the funniest joke you've ever heard? I've heard many jokes in my life, but the first one that comes to mind was told by a 2-year-old to her mother who shared it with me.
S: "Knock knock"
Mom: "Who's there?"
S: "Oatmeal!"
Mom: "Oatmeal who?"
S: "Oatmeal in your bowl." *snicker* "Oatmeal on your plate!" *giggle* *eyes look slyly to the side* "OATMEAL ON YOUR WINDOW!" :D

10. Do you like answering questions? Oh, sure. Why not? ;)

11. If you could go back in time to any place at any point in history, where would you go? Wow! I don't know. Maybe the late 1800s. Maybe the turn of the century. I've always enjoyed the Victorian era. But I like other times too. It's too hard to decide on one time.

1.Who is your favorite author? Already answered. (Whew, one question the same!)

2. If you could go on vacation anywhere, where would you go? Montana! No thought required on this question.

3. Do you play any instruments? Yes, I do. . . . Oh, you wanted to know what I played? Piano, violin, some bowed psaltry, some recorder.

4. What is your favorite type of music to play? Depends on my mood. :) Sometimes hymns, sometimes old songs, sometimes songs from "Sound of Music" or "Mary Poppins," sometimes classical, sometimes patriotic.

5. What are your hobbies? Hobbies? Hmm . . . Reading, being dramatic, reading, crafting things and reading. (Did I mention reading?)
6. What is your favorite type of food? Oh, dear, now I'm hungry! I love Mexican and Italian.

8. Do you know a foreign language? I do speak some Chinese though it has been a while since I've studied it. (Nee how boo how?)

9. If you could learn any language, what would it be? Probably more Chinese, though I sometimes think German or Russian might be fun.

10. On a scale of 1-10. 1, being hardly at all and 10, being extreme, how much do you like to talk? 9 ;) But I do know how to listen too. :)

11. What is your favorite book series? Already answered. Well, I said I couldn't decide. Would you like a list of some of my favorite book series?

 

1. You just got awarded a million dollars. What are you going to do with it? Well, after paying the IRS a whole lot of it and giving my tithe, I'd probably scream, then probably buy some books. :) But not with the whole thing. :P I think I would be smart enough to save some, but I just might take a vacation to Montana.
2. What time period would you travel to if you could? Isn't this the same question as I already answered? I'm not sure where I'd go.
3. If you had to pick one, who would you pick as your favorite fictional character of all time? Having read over 12,000 books, I really have no idea who I would pick as my favorite.
4. Who is your favorite Bible character? Besides Christ? Ruth or maybe Lydia.
5. What's your favorite book series? Okay, I got the point. You want to know my favorite book series. But I still don't know. But here are a few: Bret King, Moody Family, Tales of the RAF, Silver Chief, Ester Ried, the Chautauqua series, Grandma's Attic, Trixie Belden, Jungle Doctor, Dave Dawson, Danny Orlis,  . . . I could go on, but I'll stop.
6. Who's your favorite author? You want more besides Isabella Alden? Francena Arnold, Marguerite Henry, Jack O'Brien, Dan Scott, Ralph Connor (be careful because his old books have swear words in them), Louisa May Alcott, and so on.
7. Do you have a favorite movie? "A Thousand Men and a Baby" (Now it's called "Narrow Escape") I could watch that one over and over. I also like "Miracle of the White Stallions," "Sound of Music" and others.

10. What's your favorite wild animal? One that stays away from me. :) Though I'd love to see a wild mustang in person.
11. If you could ask God one question, what would it be? How should I best use my life?

 

1. What is your favorite season? I said it once, but I'll tell you again because I love autumn!

11. What is your favorite radio drama? (If you listen to any) Yes, we listen to radio dramas! The trouble is which one is a favorite . . . I really liked "This is Your F.B.I." and "You Are There" and "Our Inheritance."

Are you tired of these questions yet? I think I'm tired of answering them. :) But it was fun. I hope you enjoyed them. Feel free to answer these yourselves or to ask others. Oh, I was supposed to pass this award on to others, but I can't think of any who haven't gotten it already. So, if you want the award, let me know and I'll give it to you. :)

P. S. If you read this on the day it's posted, I'll be sitting at the polls working as an election judge for 13 hours. So, if you leave me any comments, I'd love to read them when I get home! :)
