Your unique talent:

I can click my tongue on top of the roof of my mouth and it sounds like Spanish castanets.

Share something not many people know about you:

I lived in Mexico City with a native family as part of a private exchange when I was thirteen years old.

Are you a “pet person” or prefer no pets?

I'm a dog lover. A few years ago we rescued a half Jack Russell and half Rat Terrier that we rescued.(No, I don't mean we have two half dogs), She's quite sweet but timid for a Jack.

Would you rather travel or stay at home?

I am adventurous and love to get out and see things... hence, we have moved frequently!

Do you read more or write more?

I used to read a lot more but now writing takes center stage in my priorities.

Prefer cake or pie?

Give me lemon meringue pie any day!

Would, or do, ride a motorcycle or prefer to ride/drive a car?

We were in a terrible accident where our car flipped so I'm happier with more metal around me when I travel.

Bus or taxi or walk?

I love to walk if the weather is nice.

Are you part of a big church congregation or a small church?

A small church. I think there's much more fellowship in small communities.

Do you like to telephone people or prefer to use e-mail?

I love to talk.... so naturally I used the phone a lot unless I'm in the middle of a project.

Are you happy or joyful?

Happy, and occasionally morose. Overall I'm an optimist with bouts of negative thinking.

Do you eat at home or eat out?

I love to cook but getting out of the house is a treat.

Listen to music or prefer quiet?

Music.

Prefer sunrises or sunsets?

Sunsets. I'm not a morning person but somehow got elected to make coffee in the morning....hmmmm didn't see that in the contract.
