Gracias, Sigs.
You may want to read Tiempo de Silencio by Luis Martin-Santos Ribera. I liked it very much.
Thank you! I will look it up.
1. Did you have a lunch box as a kid? What kind?
I had a lunch box with a thermos all through elementary school, then mostly bought lunch at school after that. All these years later, I bring a lunch box to work each day. No thermos though.
2. Do you tell friends you love them or only close relatives?
I tell everyone that I love, I love them.
3. What was the last reason you went to the ER?
Last time, about 2 years ago, was when hubby helped a neighbor clean up his very overgrown back yard and stepped on a nail. Last time for me, was in college. I got a job at the local grocery store deli. My third day, went to slice some ham for a customer and didn't notice that the last person had moved the slicer at an angle. Luckily it only sliced a part of my finger before it hit the nail, and I was able to turn it off. My dad thought it was really funny in the weeks that followed to stop by and ask if we had any fresh finger for sale.
4. Have you ever been in a physical fight? Why?
Once when I was just out of high school. Why, you ask? The girl was crazy and her ex-boyfriend liked me. She came at me flailing like a windmill and I grabbed her hands and held them until her friends could drag her away.
5. Do you have any interest in the upcoming solar eclipse?
Yes, I hope I will be able to see it, although it will only be partial for me.
6. Does this thread need more cowbell?
Always!
7. Have you seen any snakes this year?
I don't think so. We had a big copperhead under our deck last year, but the deck is gone. Less hiding spots!
8. How often do you change your sheets?
As needed. Sometimes frequently, when it's hot like it is now.
9. What is your most valuable possession or collectible?
I have a big collection of Slyvan Parrot depression glass. My first piece was given to me by my grandmother, when she was cleaning out her mother's house. She wasn't big on antiques and thought I would like it. Found out later that it was a pretty rare item, especially in as good condition as it is. My collection has grown from there and I have a big cabinet full of stuff now.
10. What is a subject you want to learn more about?
Gardening. I'm just getting my feet wet this year with some tomatoes and peppers.
Doc, you have been posting good questions. Don't forget to give us your answers!!

Awesome! I used to love to go to flea markets in search of my pattern. Although it's good for some things, E-bay has mostly taken that fun adventure away.....my non-King valuables are also glass!....since the factory was here, we collect Cambridge Glass....here's an example in a shad close to your photo....

I don't collect them but I have always liked depression glass and what's called milk glass. Both of your pieces are attractive. Green is my favorite color.....my non-King valuables are also glass!....since the factory was here, we collect Cambridge Glass....here's an example in a shad close to your photo....
....Cambridge Glass was made in "elegant" and "utilitarian" styles....they made a traditional milk glass color, and my personal favorite-Crown Tuscan....

1. Did you have a lunch box as a kid? What kind? Yes, the metal kind with the raised artwork. Mine was Dukes of Hazzard.
2. Do you tell friends you love them or only close relatives? Yes, but not very often. I think people need to hear it but mostly they should know by your actions.
3. What was the last reason you went to the ER? Migraine.
4. Have you ever been in a physical fight? Why? Yes, a few times. The kind where you scrap and wrestle and someone ends up in a headlock. I've never been punched nor have I thrown a punch. Doesn't that only happen on TV? Every fight I have ever seen was a free-for-all and sloppy.
5. Do you have any interest in the upcoming solar eclipse? Yes, but I doubt I will drive to Nashville to see it.
6. Does this thread need more cowbell? Yep.
7. Have you seen any snakes this year? Not this year. Last year a big rat snake would hang out with me on the deck and warm itself. It would hang off the aluminum ladder like a blowout strip of tire, bleeding down like black oil and without a sound draining into the gap of the deck. He wasn't afraid of me and I wasn't afraid of him.
8. How often do you change your sheets? I probably change them every 6 weeks. If needed, sooner.
9. What is your most valuable possession or collectible? I have some expensive clothes (jackets, shoes) but nothing of great value. I have some first edition books that I treasure. A rare-ish book called A Cry of Angels by Jeff Fields.
10. What is a subject you want to learn more about? Homesteading, living on a working farm. I also want to know more about my ancestry.

Is the one on the right the Crown Truscan? That's a fine piece of art, beautiful.....Cambridge Glass was made in "elegant" and "utilitarian" styles....they made a traditional milk glass color, and my personal favorite-Crown Tuscan....
.....indeed it is.....one of the jewels of my collection.....it's commonly referred to as "The Flying Lady Bowl" inspired by a circus trapeze artist that appeared in a show long ago in this city.....
