Saturday 9: I Learned from You

Sam’s Saturday 9: I Learned from You (2007)
... Because it's Father's Day weekend.

On Saturdays I take a break from the heavy stuff and have some fun…
It is going to be a long day today; I will be at the Middletown Pride at the CTAC booth so it might be tomorrow when I reply to your comments



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

1) This song is a duet by the father/daughter team, Miley and Billy Ray Cyrus. Is your family musically inclined?
No. But my brother’s family inherited music from my sister-in-law’s family

2) This song is about life lessons. Who has been a major influence on your life?
Well of course my parents but also in starting my second career social work friends who suggested getting my MSW.

3) Miley's given name is "Destiny." Her nickname as a baby was "Smiley," which is where Miley came from. What's something that can always be depended upon to make you smile?
Lobster!
Or a chocolate milkshake

4) Miley's father, country singer Billy Ray Cyrus, has 5 children in addition to Miley (6 in all). Are you the oldest, the middle or the youngest sibling? Or are you an only child?
I only have an older brother

5) Sam's own father often traveled for business, and always remembered to bring her the little complimentary soaps, shampoos or body lotion he got from the hotel. Tell us about an inexpensive but treasured souvenir from a trip you've taken.
I don’t have any… I am too frugal to buy souvenir. But I was looking a glasses from Highland Lighthouse that had the lighthouse etched on the glasses.

6) Back when Sam was in high school, it was her father who gave her driving lessons. Are you patient when teaching someone something new?
Yes, I get enjoyment watching them learn

7) Sam's father is easy to buy for: every year he wants a new pair of loafers, so every year for Father's Day she gives him a DSW gift card. Is there anyone on your gift list that you find it easy to buy for?
We’re too old to give and get gifts… when you are in your seventies gifts don’t matter much friendship is more important.

8) For family barbecues, Sam's dad dons his "Kiss the Chef" apron and mans the Weber. What's the last thing you cooked on the grill?
A steak.

9) Sam's father satisfies his afternoon sugar craving with an almost endless stream of Butter Rum Lifesavers. When you crave a snack, do you usually reach for something sweet or salty?
I have a big sweet-tooth that gets me into trouble.
But I did have some chocolate that was covered with salt, it was a unique taste.


Thanks so much for joining us again at Saturday: 9. As always, feel free to come back, see who has participated and comment on their posts. In fact sometimes, if you want to read & comment on everyone's responses, you might want to check back again tomorrow. But it is not a rule. We haven’t any rules here. Join us on next Saturday for another version of Saturday: 9, "Just A Silly Meme on a Saturday!" Enjoy your weekend!
