Friday’s Feast has a new website, and it looks wonderful. Click HERE to see it for yourself. Now for this week’s feast:
Appetizer
What are you proud of?
My children. They’re both adults now, and they’re both good, kind and successful in their chosen profession. And they have such a fun sense of humor. We laugh so much when we’re together.
Soup
What is the best thing you’ve ever won as a prize?
I was playing slot machines in a casino in Mississippi once when I was traveling with RT. I had set aside $20 and vowed that was all I was going to spend on that kind of “entertainment.” On the second time, I hit the jackpot, bells started clanging and lights flashing. I won $250. I stopped playing immediately because I figured I’d better stop while I was ahead.
Salad
Name something you do that is a waste of time.
Surf the internet too much.
Main Course
In what year of your life did you change the most?
1997 - at 48 years of age.
Dessert
Where is a place you consider to be very tranquil?
The beach - always. I love watching the waves and walking along the beach. (Later clarification: When I think of the beach, I think of Santa Rosa Beach in Florida. It’s near Destin, but away from the throngs of people. I’ve stayed at a B&B there several times - Highlands House - that is right on the beach - and no crowds. I love it. Great place to stay - relaxing and peaceful - and great food, too.)

If I won $250 on slots I’d quit too! That is GREAT!
I’ve only ever played them twice — but I really do
enjoy them! And I do like you — only take as much as
I’m willing to spend on THAT form of entertainment - and when
it’s done, it’s done! But I only play nickle or dime slots until
the very end — then I’ll play the quarter ones a few times! I’m SUCH a big spender!!!
I do find great tranquility at the beach… love to watch the waves…

You were wise to stop when you were ahead…me? Oh now…I woulda kept playing the slots and lost it all!!!

Yes, you were definitely wise to stop! You must go to a different beach than I do. Every time I go there are 50 million people there and that’s not very tranquil to me. Have a great Friday.

My dessert is very similar.
It’s hard to keep the right balance when surfing the Internet — it’s fun and informative, but cam take way too much time.

Great feast…I always marvel when I read about people who love the beach. I live only a couple miles from it and I really don’t care for it. Don’t get me wrong, I love watching the water and hearing the waves…it’s just not a place that I go often at all.
My feast is up, too.

It is also awesome your kids grew up to be so great. I think a great sense of humor in life is so very important. It makes life more fun!!!
Great Feast you have here, I am so full now
Thanks for sharing!!!

The beach is it for me, too. Actually anywhere where you can look at the water and feel the ocean breeze — like the deck of a cruise ship.

You just won a bigger prize than the $250!!!

Carol, you prepared a wonderful feast.
Your Soup reminded me that I won some money in the slots too! I had forgotten.
I love your dessert. Sounds like a delightful place to relax.

Great Feast. Smart move walking away after you have won. I probably would have kept on playing LOL. My feast is up.

I had to laugh. We played the lottery once, won $30 and decided to never play again!
