I couldn't answer that with any honesty Beth, but went to school at 4, so I suppose it would have been somewhere around that time, lol.

Did you ever go to a pop concert as a teenage?  (Details too please!)

Yes, in 1973, at Watkins Glen, New York.  The Band, The Allman Bros and The Grateful Dead.  It was over a weekend, we camped out, I think they tried to make it a mini-Woodstock.  My dad thought I went to Philadelphia with a friend for the weekend to visit a relative.  lol  But he knew when I cam home all sunburned.  The Sunday New York Daily News had a crowd shot on its cover the next day with the headline 600,000 Jam Watkins Glen, and incredibly, I was able to pick us out.

Diana, I would have said England too for where do you like to go on holiday.  But anywhere in the British Isles, the garden spot of planet Earth.

At the job you're working now or retired from, do you or did you have paid sick leave?

I have a large A4 diary but use it to keep track of all my classes and attendance, notes on work in progress etc. all to do with work not personal notes, other than birthdays!

Have you/or do you keep a journal?

Hi Cathy and Marjorie!  No, but I wish I had.  My mother-in-law has one that goes back to about 1952.  She can give you the dates her kids (now all in the 40s and 50s), had chicken pox.  lol

How long does it take you to get out of the house in the morning?

Hi Ruth, nice to see you in the thick of things on POE today. :-)

I don't leave the house, lol.  The joys and advantages from running your business from home.Smile

How many photo albums to do have, and do you ever look at them?

A bunch, I don't know how many.  Unfortunately, I still have a lot of photos in boxes that need to be put into albums, as well as tons on the computer that I should print too.  We look at them usually when we get company we've not seen in donkey's years. (How's that for a British expression?!)  lol

Do you ever read The Bible?

All the time, Ruth. I own at least nine different versions and love to cross reference them. :-)

If you are religious, do you buy all the dogma of your church hierarchy? And if yes, do you feel others who don't are heretical?
