Car visors up or down?
Down. Every time DH rides in my car, he puts up the passenger side and never puts it down. Makes me crazy.

Favorite thing to barbecue?
Ribs that are finished up in my homemade sauce. My niece is peeved I will NOT share the recipe

Favorite side dish?
Shaved Asparagus or Broccoli Salad

Swimming or boating?
Swimming!! I’m an In The Water gal (Pisces!).

Best 3 things about Summer?

  1. Swimming (tho’ I swim in Spring and Fall)
  2. Berries right off the plant (thimbleberries are getting ripe!)
  3. Peterson’s Fish Stand is open.

Worst 3 things about Summer?

  1. Mosquitos and black flies
  2. Temps over 80
  3. PigPen wants to come over more often. Plah.

Coffee or tea and how do you drink it?
Coffee. Hot. The darkest roast I can get – usually African or Ethiopian. VERY strong (twice what most people use) and black. I don’t care if it gets cold – I’ll drink it.
If I’m drinking tea, it’s because I don’t feel well. I only like tea “straight” – no sugar, cream, honey. Mint tea, Sleepy Time Tea (which does NOT make me sleepy), flavored green teas (strawberry, peach, blueberry, mango).

The first time I had sweet tea, I damn near gagged. Had NO idea it was sweet tea - thought it was regular ol' iced tea that I would have to choke down for lack of lemon. Nope. Pretty sure I got a cavity from the half glass I could get thrugh. Blech!!!
