2. Best thing about fall walks: that I'm not hot (summer), rained upon (spring), or slipping on snow (winter). Fall is just the best month for walking!

6. Best tree in the fall: I'm not good with the tree thing, but I'll say maple because I used to live on Maple Avenue.
7. Fall ritual: Returning to Starbucks for hot chocolate. I don't care for coffee at all and seldom set foot in the place, but I am fond of their hot chocolate (I recommend a dash of cinnamon, available from a shaker near the napkins.)

15. What is your favorite fall memories? They all surround my November birthday. This morning I remember second grade, when Janet came to my party. We had been in Kindergarten and first grade together, but her family moved just 5 miles away and that put her in a different school district.

20. If you could go anywhere in the fall, where would you go? I'd like to just take a little weekend getaway. I'm thinking of returning to Springfield to see Mr. Lincoln's home and Presidential Library again. It's been awhile and hanging with Abe always lifts my spirits.
I loved the Addams Family. I loved how they loved each other.
