Q1 – What’s your favorite piece of art?
I like all kinds of art. I appreciate that anyone can create a piece of art, whether it is simple, or elaborate. It could be a painting, a sculpture, poetry, prose, crafts, or mixed-media, and if it makes me feel an emotion, I love it. Three artists I admire are…Khalil Chishtee (creates amazing sculptures using plastic bags – my favorite of these is called “Pursuit”), Kristen Cummings (creates portraits using jelly beans, and are astounding), and Claire Duguid (portrait artist who’s art is incredible). I wanted to post a picture of each, but not sure of copyrights.
Q2 – What made you smile today?
It was a day of no big laughs, but I’m sure I smiled at something, if only that the sun was shining and it was a bit warmer.
Q3 – Which place do you recommend as a Must-See? Please state which country, state, province, etc.
One place I recommend is Fort Davis, TX. I really want to go again. It is in south west Texas, close to the Big Bend area. There is a place to stay, called Indian Lodge, camping area, nature trails, and there is the old Fort itself, visitor center, bird watching opportunities, black bears, deer, and javalina to be seen. It is also right near the MacDonald Observatory, one of the largest telescopes in the world. There are ‘star parties’ and gift shops. The area also, is close to Marfa, Texas, where you can observe the Marfa Lights. We saw these and they are very spooky. And, the climate is great, being warm to hot in the summer, and receives an occasional rain shower, and a dusting of snow in the winter.

Q4 – Complete this sentence…When I was younger, I used to…
I used to like riding amusement part rides, but not anymore. They make me too dizzy!
