75 Beautiful Prompts To Address

Beautiful Prompts

I found these prompts in Sunnie's blog. Sunny I was so excited about them that I felt that I would address them as an entry all their own. I also plan to turn in my complete prompts on Sunny's Blog. I urge you to do the same. These prompts are a fantastic way of introducing one's self. I figure it will take me most of the month to complete them. I will be jumping around to answer them. Some require more thought than others. Some, I think, I may use as another single entry. That's part of their beauty, you can work at your own pace. Thank you, Sunnie


1. What is the most interesting thing about you? Would it surprise people? Why or why not?

2. What is the most memorable dream you’ve ever had? Describe it in as much detail as possible.

         This is a dream that I had when I was 8 or 9 years of age. I am not sure as to why I had this specific dream over and over again until I got married. I was a young girl and I woke in the middle of the night. The house was filled with a foggy mist. I opened the door to (what was then my bedroom) a room and looked in. In the middle of the room was an old-time desk with the writing tablet let down. On the writing tablet that was attached to the desk was a trash can with a lid on top. In the corner of the room, an old lady sat in a chair with her husband standing behind her. She was crying while he was making her throw knives into the trash can. Inside the trash can was her son.
         I ran to my parent's room screaming "Daddy!" "Daddy!" and pounding on him to wake up. When he did finally wake up, he looked at me and kept saying, "I'm not your Daddy." "I'm not your Daddy."
          And that is where the dream ended. Goodness, I hadn't thought about that in years.

3. What is your favorite place in the whole world? Is it a large place (like a city) or a small place (like a treehouse)? What makes it so special to you?

         This is an easy question for me to talk about. My favorite place in the world is "Horse Meadows." It is located at the 7600 foot-level in the Sequoia National Forest here in Kern County where I live.
          Hubby, when he was alive, and I would take the family and the dogs and go camping. We would spend anywhere from a week to two weeks. We had a ball.
         I love it because it is very secluded. Fishing is great, the view mesmerizing and you have to pack out what you pack in. It is out of the mainstream of summer campers with only 41 camping sites available. Livestock is allowed for summer grazing and you do have to share with them. The last time that we were able to go before hubby took ill and Katie, our yellow lab, died of old age we spent 2 weeks in heaven. The nearest town was 2 hours away. We had to go to town one day and when we got back our campsite was filled with cows. Katie took out of the camper charging and barking at the cows. When she got close enough to see that they were bigger than her, she put on all four skids—turned—and yelped all the back to the camper and DOVE inside. We never laughed so much...so hard. Horse Meadows is my favorite place, loaded with my favorite memories.
