One Year Blogaversary

  Good morning everyone!  As of today, I have been blogging for one year.  For my One Year Blogaversary, I told my lovely followers that they could ask me questions.  Here are the questions and the answers.

~ Do you have a favorite book of the Bible? Or a verse/passage that's meant a lot to you recently?
  My favorite book of the Bible, is Esther.  A passage that has helped me a lot is Isaiah 41:10.

~ In what form do you usually listen to music? (i.e. iPod, CD, radio, record player)
  My laptop on YouTube.  My lovely MP3 'gave up the ghost' about 3 years ago.
 
~ Do you learn towards dressier or more casual in your everyday outfits?
  Casual.  A t-shirt and skirt.  I have a few dresses, but prefer a t-shirt and skirt.
 
~ How many books, on average, would you say you read per year, off the top of your head?
  Close to 200.  But some of those are re-reads.
 
~ What's the story behind your blog title? (I'm pretty sure I know it, but just in case.)
  The poem in J.R.R. Tolkien's Return of the King that speaks of all who died in the Battle of Pelennor Fields.
 
~ Shoes: Delights of the Soul or Uninteresting Necessities?
  Uninteresting Necessities.  I prefer bare feet.
 
~ Is there anything you wish was an automatic part of your personality, but isn't, such as seeing colors for different people, naming everything, rocking scarves and/or hats, etc.?
  Well sometimes I wish I wasn't so shy.
 
~ Old movies: Yea or Nay?
  It depends on the genre.
 
~ Would you rather be slightly colder or slightly hotter?
  Slightly hotter.
 
~ And, totally random, do you like wearing makeup or no?
  Yes I enjoy wearing make up.  Though I don't wear it as often as I could.  Most days I just can't find the time.

From: Meredith
-What is the longest book you've ever read? 
  I think The Silmarillion.
 
-What is the hardest book you've ever read? 
  Hardest?  G.K. Chesterton's The Club of Queer Trades.
 
-Is there a fictional character you consider a role model?
  Samwise Gamgee.

-Off of Olivia's makeup question, do you like wearing nail polish? 
   I adore wearing nail polish, but because I live on a farm and I wash a lot of dishes, it doesn't usually last for very long, also there is always so much to do that it is hard ot find the time to paint them and actually have them dry thoroughly.

-Cats or dogs? (I'm sorry that's not a very nice question. xD)
  It's a perfectly nice question!  I like both, but I prefer dogs.....as long as they aren't always trying to lick you!
 
-Lastly, is there a book you've been meaning to read for a long time? 
  The Lost Heir by G.A. Henty.

~ If you could have dinner with anyone past or present. Who would it be?
  I would love to have dinner with the CT (Celtic Thunder) boys.

~ If you could live anywhere in the world. Where would it be? (I think I know the answer to this)
  Oh, you know the answer quite well......having heard it 55 million times.  Dear old Ireland.  But if I couldn't go there, it would be a rambling old farmhouse int he Vermont hills.  You haven't heard as much about that, but Mom Melody have heard gaZOBS!

~ Is there a book that you have heard of and want to read, but you can't find it?
  Well it's not that I can't find it, I just haven't been able to purchase it.  The Little White Horse by Elizabeth Goudge.

~ Is there a movie that you could watch every day and never get tired of?
  Ummmmm......the 1960 version of The Swiss Family Robinson.
