1. Best thing I cooked last week? Cooking for two is not very exciting, but we had a pasta, vegetable medley
2. If money, time and babysitting were no object, where would you go and with whom? Hands down I would pick up all of our children and grandchildren and go to Disney World for a week, then I would like to visit the temple with all of my children and their spouses, then I would take each of my grandchildren one on one for a week and just talk and play and jump on the tramp and cook fun things together and communicate with them about anything and have the weather be warm enough to lay outside on the lawn and look at the stars and dream. I would then take all of my boys and grandsons to Cooperstown to the Baseball Hall of Fame.
3. When was the last time you cried? Last night watching the best movie I have seen in a long long time. It is called the "Ultimate Gift". I don't know why people are not knocking down doors to see this. It was life changing.
4. 5 things you were doing this month 10 years ago. October 19971. I was loving the fact that I was a new grandma to our tiny little McKenzie. At that time they lived with us for a couple of months and then close by in Springville and we had the blessing of visiting often. 2. I was making McKenzie a daffodil Halloween costume that grandchildren are still wearing. 3. Working at the District every day.

6. 6 favorite snacks: 1. Fresh raw almonds roasted in the oven at 325 for 20 minutes. Yum 2. Fresh tortillas sauteed and then rolled up and dipped in homemade ranch dressing. yummy 3. Fresh oranges or bananas 4. Mixed fruit yogurt with clumpy rich granola mixed in.
7. 5 bad habits: 1. Asking for people to do things that I can do for myself 2. Being too task oriented that I don't stop to smell the roses 4. I have a habit of getting somewhere just in the nick of time, like when we work in the temple I know just exactly how long it will take me to get there and get dressed so I'm not late. It drives Billy crazy.
8. 5 favorite foods: 1. Toasted home grown thick tomato sandwiches with nothing but butter, salt and pepper and tomatoes. 2. Salmon drizzled with honey and soy sauce topped with Mango Salsa and 3.
