Appetizer
If you were a dog, what breed would you be, and why? Oh, I’d be a golden retriever. They are loyal, happy and love their owners unconditionally

Soup
What does the color purple make you think of? Royalty. Or occasionally that movie and book

Salad
Approximately how long does it take you to get ready each morning? About 45 minutes to an hour, depending on where I’m going and what kind of clothes, make-up are involved

Main Course
How many cousins do you have, and are you close to them? OK, this opens up a whole different can of worms. I had one uncle I knew, and one I did not. The one I never had any contact with (he and my dad were not on speaking terms), had 3 children, I think, so they would be my cousins. However, I don’t know their names and have never met them. I grew up without an extended family – never really seeing uncles, aunts, cousins, etc. Then, I marry Tim. Tim who has a huge family. His mom is one of 8 and his dad one of 5. He literally has dozens of cousins. I tried to count them one time and wasn’t sure I got them all. I think I counted 27 or 28 first cousins. I’d be hard pressed to name them, but I’ve met almost all of them through the years. I know some of them pretty well, he had some really great cousins

Dessert
Take your initials (first, middle, last) and come up with something else those letters could stand for. (Example: SFO = Sweet Funny Otter) Ugh. I haven’t had any coffee yet, so these kinds of things are hard. How about SKH — Some Kick Heroes ? Or Stuff Kelvins Heat? Gosh, I’m not good at this
