Saturday 9 - My Favorite Things

You can see the others that participate in this fun meme at Saturday 9.

Welcome to Saturday 9. What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love memes, however, and here is today's meme!

Saturday 9: My Favorite Things (2018)

Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.

1) This week's artist, Jennie Abrahamson, is very happy living in Stockholm, but she refers to Paris as "a flirt." She enjoys her time there so much she always wants to return. Is there a place you've visited that tugs at your heart and imagination, tempting you to return? Florida ~ My lil Tucker is there (and the rest of the family)...

2) Jennie has said her music has been heavily influenced by 80s pop, which was popular in her early teen years. Are your favorite songs ones you listened to when you were growing up? Yes.... love all the 80's music...drives the fam nuts!

3) "My Favorite Things" is from The Sound of Music. Crazy Sam's high school claim to fame was playing Sister Margaretta in the senior class production. Though not a big part, her performance lives on because relatives love embarrassing her with pictures of her in an especially unflattering nun's habit. Who took an embarrassing photo of you? What were you doing? Hmmm...probably one of the boys... and who knows what I was doing....

4) The lyrics celebrate "brown paper packages tied up in strings." What was in the last box you received in the mail? My Loved and Blessed monthly subscription box

5) It mentions doorbells and sleighbells. What's the most recent bell or alarm that you heard? the alarm clock....ugh it normally doesn't go off on a Saturday as this is my sleep in day...but I had to be up early to get things done so I can head off to a fun make and take class with my cousin.

6) This song has nice things to say about cold weather, specifically snowflakes and mittens. What do you like about winter? hot cocoa... there is nothing.... NOTHING nice about winter/snow! I need me some warm sunshine!!!

7) Dog bites and bee stings are singled out as things that can leave us feeling sad. What's most recently given you the blues? distance.... being so far away from my brother... dang him for moving to Florida!

8) In 2018, when this song was released, Roger Federer won the Australian Open. Are you good with a racket? no

9) Random question -- Your local zoo announced the hatching of three snowy owlets. All males. You won the honor of naming them. Go ahead. Wink, Rusty and Percy
