Meme: The Friday Five: 26 Nov 21
1) Who is your favorite relative?
The only one I speak to is my sister. The rest are dead or voted for Trump.
2) What's the farthest you've traveled for a family gathering?
I used to drive the trek from Washington DC to Jackson Mississippi regularly. It's about 1000 miles and takes about 14 and a half hours. I used to do in a straight stretch (only stops for gas/petrol). I think I was a trucker in a past life.
3) Will you/when will you put up decorations for December holidays?
I will get the Christmas box out tomorrow (27 Nov) and put them up. I think I'm unusual in that I pack things up very quickly after Christmas (usually 26 or 27 Dec). Once it's over, it's over. And I grew up thinking it was bad luck to leave them up after New Year's.
4) What were you thankful for this week?
I had parent-teacher conferences this week with Minisculus' and Minor's teachers and I was thankful for how many nice things Minisculus' teacher had to say about him. She really loves my kid!
I was also thankful I finished the 5k upright and in a reasonable time (for me) without pain.
5) What is your hometown known for?
An annual festival celebrating okra (the vegetable)
