1) Are you a veteran? Are there veterans in your family? Do you know anyone who is active military? (We are grateful and want to hear about it.) My dad served in Korea, my uncle in Vietnam and my oldest nephew is currently assigned to The Nimitz.
2) Memorial Day kicks off the summer season. What's your favorite picnic food? It's the only time I ever eat potato salad. Love it outdoors off a paper plate.
3) Let's celebrate the Memorial Day holiday with ice cream. What's your favorite flavor? Cone or cup? Mint chocolate chip in a cup, please.

This marks the weekend when Americans step up their outdoor activity
and do things
they may not have been able to do during the winter
months. For example, when is the last time you rode a bike? Other than a stationery bike, I haven't pedaled in years. The last I recall was a trip to the Key West public garden. It was a lovely afternoon. I don't know why my conch friends and I haven't been back.
5) Or went hiking? We walked the beach on Christmas Day. I think that counts.
6) Or rode a horse? Decades ago! In New Mexico, visiting my cousin and her then-husband.
7) Or toasted a marshmallow? Don't even recall.
8) As you answer these questions, is there an air conditioner or fan on? The fan's whirring away in the window.

9) Crazy Sam needs your help: What song or a performer would you like to see featured in a
Saturday 9 this summer? You'll begin seeing your suggestions as Saturday 9 themes in mid-June. Thanks! I defer to everyone else.
My mom would hit the Jewel deli every week for potato salad and cold slaw. Talk about overload... I hope that I never have to see those on my plate ever again....
ReplyDeleteI don't think that I have ever seen a turnout for S-9 this small before
I didn't even think about potato salad. The only time I eat it is at family BBQs, too.
ReplyDeleteWe rarely eat outside because of people mowing or flowers blooming or mosquitoes. Or somebody will be burning some brush pile down the road and the smoke will settle on the house. Living rural is not all it's made out to be.
ReplyDeleteI almost always have a fan going.
