Battle Hymn of the Republic
Welcome to Saturday: 9. What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love memes, however, and here is today's meme!
Memorial Day was introduced to honor the men and women who died while serving the in the United States Armed Forces. We want to make sure that message is not forgotten this weekend.
1) This recording was made live at St. Patrick's Cathedral, during Sen. Robert Kennedy's funeral. While both of Bobby's older brothers were decorated war heroes, he served too -- enlisting in the Navy in 1943. Are you a veteran? Are there veterans in your family? (We are grateful and want to hear about it.)
I am not a veteran but there are a few in my family :)
2) Memorial Day also kicks off the summer season. What's your favorite picnic food?
Loaded Baked Potato Salad
3) Name a scent that reminds you of someone special in your life.
Johnson & Johnson Baby wash. Both my kids have used it and I love how they smell right after a bath.
4) When was the last time you had your hair cut or trimmed?
4) When was the last time you had your hair cut or trimmed?
About 2 months, maybe?
5) Crazy Sam runs on Dunkin'. Are you loyal to a particular brand of coffee?
Folgers.
6) If money was no object, what home improvement would you like to make this summer?
There are lots of home improvements we plan on making in the near future. Re-doing the carpet in the bedrooms, painting my daughters room and ours, painting the dining room and eventually painting the family room in the basement.
7) What was the last thing you bought purely for your own enjoyment?
Flowers.
8) When was the last time you rode a bike?
It's been years and years!
9) Sam worries that many of her song selections reflect her decidedly Baby Boomer sensibilities. Is there a song or a performer that you'd like to see featured in a Saturday 9 this summer?

There are so many but I'll go with P!nk. I LOVE her song "Just Give Me A Reason." I have always liked her music but I'm obsessed with this song :)
P!nk!!! Love her! My 8-yo son is constantly singing Just Give Me a Reason...he's got a decent voice, too. :-)
ReplyDeleteI think it's sweet that you remember the J&J baby scents so fondly. And a Pink Sat 9 would be fun.
ReplyDeleteThe Gal Herself ~ It's one of the best scents in the world :)
ReplyDeleteKelly ~ I've always liked Pink but I am seriously addicted to that song! I just LOVE IT! My 4 year old daughter is learning the words because whenever I hear it, I crank it up:)
