Feast One Hundred & Fifteen
Appetizer
Approximately how many hours per week do you spend reading other blogs? Probably an hour or more each day, it depends on the day, if I’m participating in a meme, and other factors. I have lots of blogs I really enjoy reading 🙂
Soup
Your community wants everyone to give one thing to put into a time capsule. What item would you choose to include? Something technological and instantaneous, which I think defines our society right now. So, probably a cell phone or iPod or Blackberry or something like that.
Salad
What is the most interesting tourist attraction you’ve ever visited? We went to Washington DC last summer and the most moving thing we did was see the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery. I’ve been to lots of touristy places I really enjoyed, but I’ve never been to one that was more moving and emotional to me. Those men are the epitome of professionalism and stoic observance of their job. They are impressive, but what’s more impressive is that they stand there, in all kinds of weather, and show honor and respect to our nation’s war dead. Through 98 degree heat, through blizzards and hurricanes, they guard the tomb around the clock, every minute of the year and have, for decades. I get goose bumps now just thinking about it, and what it represents.
Main Course
If you could give an award to anyone for anything, who would it be and what would the award be titled? To Tim, for world’s most patient person. I’m not an easy person to get along with, and he deserves a medal for putting up with me
Dessert
What do you think your favorite color reveals about your personality? Well, my favorite color is green and I’ve honestly never thought about it. Maybe that I’m earthy and natural – I’m a big believer in recycling and saving our earth. Yeah, that’s it 
Oh, yeah! An iPod! With all my favorite music!
I agree with you about the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Those guys are amazing and it is very emotional to witness their perfection and reverent protection of that tomb.
Happy Friday, Stacy! 🙂
I will always love DC as well
Your salad was very moving. I remember our visit to Arlington but weren’t there during the Changing of the Guard and I’ve always felt like we missed something.
Have a Great Weekend!
The changing of the guard is awesome!!
What a great feast. I have seen the changing of the guard too and it is truly moving. It puts a lump in your throat.

I remember watching the changing of the guards. It was an awesome sight!
