1. What's something you could do today to feel more peaceful?
Well, I would have loved to be able to say sit out on our lovely, freshly washed and redecorated porch, but it is 91 today.. I'm not quite ready for that, so it would be to sit in the living room, reading something uplifting!! ...scripture, or one of my wonderful poetry books or other books that calm and refresh the mind... and listen to some calming instrumental music probably by Dan Gibson like
2. June 2nd is National Rotisserie Chicken day. Who knew? Are you a fan of rotisserie chicken? You've purchased one at your local market for tonite's dinner. Will you serve as is or make something else using the chicken?
When I purchase a rotisserie chicken I usually make lemon tarragon chicken salad.

3. I read a list recently (go here to read more) of 20 of the most beautiful places in America. How many of these have you seen up close and in person? Of the sites on this list that you haven't seen, which would you most like to see?
Antelope Canyon Arizona, Kenai Fjords Alaska, White Mountains New Hampshire, Crater Lake Oregon, The Palouse Washington and Idaho, Grand Prismatic Spring Wyoming, Multnomah Falls and Columbia River Gorge Oregon, Horsehoe Bend Arizona, Na Pali Coast Kauai Hawaii, Antelope Valley California, Lake Tahoe California, The Berkshires Massachussets, Maroon Bells Colorado, Angel Oak South Carolina, Acadia National Park Maine, Grand Teton National Park Wyoming, Turnip Rock Michigan, Central Park New York City, Niagara Falls New York, and Skagit Valley Tulip Fields Washington
Of the list I've only seen those marked in red. We go north now to see our family and we haven't been west of Indiana, so I don't know that I will ever see any more from that list ! If I did make it west I'd be sure to spend some time in Colorado and Montana!

4. What's one pretty spot you'd add to the list in question #3? Are there travel plans of any kind on your calendar right now? Does that make you happy, anxious, excited, sad, or relieved?The only place I am hepped up to see in our near future is our second trip to Ireland and I do not think it would actually belong on this list.
5. Tell us one un-COVID related thing you're looking forward to in the month of June. Well, we have every doctor's appt. I can think of coming up in the next 3 weeks.. after that I would love to take a road trip somewhere, far from the madding crowd.. perhaps the Smoky's! Then swing back by way of Blowing Rock and stop in to see a fav cousin!!!
6. Insert your own random thought here.
I have learned not to long for something like a special trip or vacation.. or a family event... long so much and look with such expectation that it hurts, because in my life, things that are so cherished usually never happen... It has been the way of my world.
A senior year summer Spanish club trip to Acapulco, a family trip to Niagara Falls and on to Nova Scotia and PE Island,and now our year long planned trip to western Ireland with our daughter's family! Who knows if we will ever actually get to go?

The chicken salad looks delicious. I would love to go to Ireland one day - it looks so beautiful and green.
ReplyDeleteI would like to visit The Berkshires Massachusetts, that is the one I chose.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!
"Every doctor's appointment I can think of coming up..." Isn't that the truth? We are also trying to schedule all the missed appointments and tests (and not just the medical appts) as quickly as possible. I hope you get to stay inside and avoid those hot temps today.
ReplyDeleteYour chicken salad looks delish
ReplyDeleteYour salad looks yummy! I would love to see Ireland.
ReplyDeleteYour salad looks really good! We were at 98 today but weather going back down. I need to see if I can get an eye appointment. I hope you can visit Ireland again.
