Behind the Scenes Questionnaire


Our assignment for Behind the Scenes this week is to answer these five questions on our blog.  We have been talking about using lists in blog posts, so here we go:

1. What makes you happy?....in 5 words or less....?

Family gatherings (especially at the beach!) We actually (see #3 below) have one planned -- a week on the beach in California in August. Can't wait!

2.  Which talent would you most like to have?

I would love to be a really good singer.

3.  Which words or phrases do you overuse most?

"Actually".  And I hate it when I hear other  people say it! In fact, I didn't realize I was saying it until my grandson started using it and I said, "I wonder where he gets that?" and my whole family looked at me like I was nuts! I am actually trying VERY hard not to use  it.

4.  What is your favorite movie, book or both?

Movie:  "Out of Africa"
Book:    Anything by Anna Quindlen.

5.  If you could go anywhere in the world for a creative retreat, where might it be?

Greece is one  place I've always wanted to visit and would love to shoot there. All the gorgeous blues just call my name! I would also like to spend some time shooting in New York City.

So that's it!  I am loving this class so much!  Can't wait to try all the new things I've learned.

    Well, actually I am guilty of using that too and didn't realize until my five year old started saying it too...how funny!

    I love Isak Dinesen...I never saw the movie but I loved the book. : )

    I saw actually all the time ever since my granddaughter started saying it at 3 years old. I was amazed she used it in the right way. I think I thought it was funny and picked it up.

    Hi! If you like Out of Africa then you will love the book I Dreamed of Africa by Kuki Gallmann ( a favourite of mine; very moving; beautifully written). The music to Out of Africa is so inspiring. It is a shame the course is ending; just find it so enjoyable.
