A warm, sunny day, nice breeze, a picnic beside a beautiful river, grandkids, John Rutter on the Bluetooth speaker, no bugs.

2. What skill do you wish more people took the time to learn?

How to converse with people other than their own comfortable little circle.

3. What's something you ate as a child you can't stand now as an adult?

I can't think of a thing, although I don't eat as much sugar now as I did when I was a kid. I loved Slow Poke suckers that I think were invented by dentists to pull your fillings out.

4. Something parenting has taught you? If you're not a parent tell us one important lesson you learned from your own parents.

Just when you think you've got it figured out, the next kid comes along and destroys that theory.

5. Share a favorite quote or saying about mothers or motherhood.

"How can it be a large career to tell other people’s children about the rule of three, and a small career to tell one’s own children about the universe?

"How can it be broad to be the same thing to everyone, and narrow to be EVERYTHING to someone?

"No. A woman’s function is laborious but because it is GIGANTIC, not because it is minute.

"I will pity Mrs. Jones for the hugeness of her task; I will never pity her for its smallness.”

(G. K. Chesterton)
