My 11 Questions

1.  What is the best gift you have ever given?  A family trip to Alaska. It took me a little while to pay for it, but the memories are a gift I carry when times are hard.

6.  Hot drink or cold drink?  I love hot, but in Florida more often than not need the icy icy coolness of a cold drink.

7.  What are you passionate about? Life  

8.  What are you reading currently? Have finished several in the past few days of vacay but am currently reading a YA book, Gorgeous by Paul Rudnik and The Inventor by .

9.  Which season do you like the best and why? Summer- I love spring hopping and exploring new springs to jump in and cool off.
