More Random Questions – June 2026

 

What’s one thing you never thought you’d need that you can’t live without?

Grab bars and handrails!! I could probably live without them, but life is sure easier (and safer for me) with them. Handrails go without saying. They are always a good idea. But when we installed grab bars in the bathroom and shower for my dad when he lived with us, I had no idea how important they’d become for me late on.

 

What still makes you as happy now as it did when you were a kid?

So many things. Cats. The color blue. Fireworks. Cotton candy. Coloring with crayons. READING.

 

What’s the main thing you take to a potluck?

We almost never have potlucks at church anymore. Growing up, we had them all the time at church. We would brown a pound of hamburger, add it to a large can of ravioli and sprinkle parmesan cheese on top. We’d also get a package of oatmeal cookies, make frosting and make sandwich cookies. As an adult I would usually make taco salad.

 

Do your pets sleep with you?

Of course! What’s the point of having them otherwise? Molly was a yellow lab and Marv didn’t allow her on the bed because we only had a double bed and there was no room. But the cats have always had access. Growing up, Maize was a collie/sheltie mix and she would sleep with me. Sarah’s two pit bulls sleep with her.

 

Biggest first world problem in your life?  

Closet space!!! OMG!!! Growing up, I had a WONDERFUL two door closet! I had NO idea just how wonderful this was until I got married… *sigh*
