Sunshine Award

Jo at Through the Keyhole has awarded me a Sunshine Award, and I feel a bit guilty because I haven't blogged in what feels like forever.  I asked for rain, and for it to cool off, and it did, but unfortunately it has rained some every day and the humidity is through the roof!
But back to the award, I want to thank Jo for giving it to me, and if you haven't read her blog, go, go right now!
As a recipient I'm supposed to answer some questions, so here goes.

What is your favorite color? Well that depends, I love blue and wear lots of it, but never paint anything blue in my house, I use a lot of greens there.

What is your favorite nonalcoholic drink?  That's an easy one, sweet iced tea, love it.  It's what the South runs on.

What is your favorite animal?  If we're talking domestic animal then it's cats, we've always had cats, Miss Kitty being the latest in a long line.  If we're talking wild animals then it would be elephants, always had a thing for them, don't know why, just do.

Do you prefer Twitter or Facebook?  I have accounts at both, but I'm not crazy about either.  But if pinned down I'd say Facebook, it helps me keep in touch with far flung family and friends.

What is your passion?  My family, there is nothing that comes before it.  Reading is a minor passion, but an important one to me, I read every day, have books scattered all over the house.

What is your favorite pattern?  Right now it's polka dots, in every color.

Do you prefer giving or receiving?  That's easy, I prefer giving, love seeing the look on someone's face when they get something unexpected.

What is your favorite number? The number 5, no reason, it just is.

What is your favorite day of the week?  Sunday because that's the day of the week my daughter and I talk on the phone, we Tweet and email during the week, but Sunday morning we talk on the phone and I look forward to it all week

Don't feel obligated to answer the questions, just know that I enjoy reading your blog every day.
