Tags: Fun Monday, teapot collection
I try to always visit everyone who stops by to visit me. I recently had a new visitor to by blog by way of 40 or less photo challenge and that’s how I came across Mariposa’s Tales. At her blog, I found a new meme, at least new to me, called Fun Monday. It seems this meme has been around since January of 2007 and features a different volunteer host each week. Now how cool is that!?! The meme was actually started by none other than Robin of Pensieve, who also is the founder of 40 or less Photo Challenge. That Robin is one busy and creative lady! The assignment for Fun Monday this week, from the inquizative mind of Mariposa is Collections.
I have been collecting teapots for more than 30 years and have more than 100!
I collect teapots because they remind of people. Both teapots and people have similar parts - a body, a handle/arms, a lid/head, a spout/mouth, etc. They both come in different shapes, sizes and colors. They both sometimes have broken parts that may lead others to think they are of less value than an unbroken one. But the main thing teapots and people share is one definite quality-regardless of their outward appearance, it’s how they are made on the inside that will determine their goodness - whether it be the goodness of a cup of tea or the goodness of their human spirit.

I first saw this new meme at Red Pens & Diapers. This is the first edition of Pensieve’s latest writing challenge. The premise of the meme is she takes a photo and urges her readers to write 40 something or less words about the picture. Syllables? Words? It’s up to us. Check out her site for more 40 or Less submissions. I loved the picture so I decided to play along this week. Of course I am a day late.
YES! There is life after winter!

Appetizer
What was your favorite cartoon when you were a child? I remember watching the Mickey Mouse Club - I guess that was not exactly a cartoon.
Soup
Pretend you are about to get a new pet. Which animal would you pick, and what would you name it? I have a dog name Penny and if I were to get another pet it would most likely be a bird. I think Mr. Peepers sounds good.
Salad
On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being highest, how much do you enjoy getting all dressed up for a special occasion? Considering it would be a special occassion, probably a 9.
Main Course
What kind of music do you listen to while you drive? I alternate between country and oldies rock & roll.
Dessert
When was the last time you bought a clock? And in which room did you put it? I bought my dad an old-fashioned wind-up alarm clock for his bedroom - it’s what he wanted, old habits die hard I guess.
