    Tell us about someone you admire

    There are many famous people I admire but I will tell you about our oldest daughter. She is dyslexic and had to fight all her life proving that she could succeed. She was in special classes and had an IEP through middle school. She knew she wanted to go to college and become a teacher. The State college wasn't going to let her in until one of the HS teachers who also taught there convinced them she could do the work. They accepted her under the condition that she take a writing course during the summer, get a B and take a limited number of credits during her first year. We'll she got an A in the writing course and after the 1st semester made honors and told them she wanted to take a full course load. Even though she did well with her classes the Prof who had to give her the recommendation to be admitted to the education department gave her a hard time and didn't give her a very good recommendation. Regardless she persevered was admitted and graduated with honors. She has been teaching for more than 25 yes now.

    Penguin slide complete

    I didn't realize there were duplicate questions, but I found one. I am constantly dipping my toes into lots of areas, for example I know a little bit of several languages but have never become fluent in any of them. I would like to learn how to program. I think that would be interesting.

    one thing that has always made me nervous is having to drive somewhere by myself when I don't know where I am going. Always worried about getting there on time and finding a place to park. So far I have managed to get places OK so not sure why I still get nervous. Things are so much easier these days with GPS but I still get nervous.

    When I was younger(pr-teens and teens) my favorite flavor was rum raisin. Now it is Moose Tracks.

    Favorite holiday
    This is a tough one. I have 2 favorites for different reasons. Thanksgiving because we get together as a family and everyone brings part of the meal. The other is Christmas. Now that the grandkids are older it's not as hectic when we get together. I like hearing all the Christmas music and putting out my decorations all of which have special meaning.

    Tell us about your favorite season: I love having seasons, so it's really hard to pick my favorite. I know my least favorite is summer because I hate that the ticks keep me out of the woods. (I have a tick borne illness that can be made worse if I get another bite). For that same reason, probably winter is my favorite because I don't have to worry as much then. I also LOVE, LOVE, LOVE (did I say love?) snow!!!!! The more the merrier. I grew up in snow and now it's a bit of a luxury. We get a little each winter and once in a while get a bigger storm, but not enough for me.

    One thing that makes me sad these days is to watch my mother's mental decline with dementia. She is still physically strong at 95 and lives with my sister. She can still do a lot of things for herself but mentally she is not where she used to be. Her doctor once described her as being happily confused. :-)

    I finally finished the expert snowball fight! That was a challenge for me. I have Essential Tremors and my hand kept wanting to tremble while I was trying to throw snowballs.

    One of the things that makes me happiest is my grandkids. I have 3 grandsons plus one that passed when he was 5 from a rare kidney disease. Two of the other boys developed the same kidney disease but were able to get kidney transplants and are doing well now. My daughter is my hero as I have watched her go through all of this and care for the family.

    Tell us about something that makes you angry

    This is a difficult question because I don't get angry very often. One thing that can make me angry is when someone judges another person when they don't really know them or what's going on in their life.
