What’s a simple pleasure in life that brings you joy?

I feel grateful for our sweet & old Lundehund Flekk & our one year old Ozzy. Both are wonderful in their own way. Having a dog makes life something to look forward to.

Having a dog isn’t always roses & cuddles, but work. We’re dealing with a stubborn babe, the little dude as we call him. He just doesn’t want to do his business outside.

True to his breed he doesn’t want to go outside. It’s an on-going battle we have in the house. Sweet old Flekkies does all his business outside. The little dude just likes to spend hours in his kennel.

I do have to say that they bring us joy. When we come home from work or errands there’s always someone who’s glad we’re finally home. That’s my simple joy!

What’s a classic book that you think is overrated?

I read it over 20 years ago & have to say it’s way overrated. It’s not all about sex like the movie makes it out to be. It’s about an unhappy woman trapped in a small town & with the wrong man. The book isn’t about female empowerment but rather about entrapment & having little or no way out.

It’s highly overrated & I’m not at all surprised by the modern take on classic, namely sex. She’s trapped & the movie doesn’t allude to this in any way. Skip the book & the movie. Read instead something else by thevBrontë sisters or Jane Austen.

What’s a thing you were completely obsessed with as a kid?

I loved My Little Ponies when I was a tween. They were my favorite & I collected them with Care Bears. I loved getting the newest & most unique pony or care bear.

I was also into music & buying my cassettes & making mixes from the radio. I spent my allowance on these three things.

There was nothing better! I loved listening to “Graceland” by Paul Simon & playing with my toys. I also liked to dance in my room so it all tied together.
