This week Cee asks:
What was one of your first moneymaking jobs (other than babysitting or newspaper delivery)?
I worked summers from the time I was 12 until 15, as an assistant in a playgroup with 4 year olds. I loved the woman I worked with, a young teacher who picked me up every morning in her Kharmann Ghia, which was the coolest thing ever. I opened a bank account and saved up, it was a great feeling having my “own” money. 
What is your favorite month of the year?
May, when spring is springing, the winter is definitely over, and the warm weather arrives. I love the beauty in everything blooming and the birds returning.
What three things in nature do you find most beautiful?
Birds, Flowers, Sky
List at least five of your favorite spices? (excluding salt and pepper)
Turmeric, Cinnamon, Allspice, Paprika, Ginger

Such a great experience, Lisa. I appreciate your starting at the age of my 2 oldest grandkids. (My son’s stepdaughter and my oldest daughter’s son.) They both help out with chores and watching younger siblings. The car is awesome! What a thrilling ride to work!
I like your nature and spice choices, although I rarely use tumeric or allspice.

It was a fun ride to work for sure! I started using Turmeric a few years ago, it is good for inflammation. I add it to Quinoa, in my smoothies, and when I roast cauliflower

I thought those cars were the coolest, too. Never got to drive one, but I thought that must have been what Nancy Drew’s red roadster looked like 🙂

OK that car is cool. You were lucky. I forgot ginger, darnit. I love ginger. I make my own ginger tea, I juice and cook with ginger. I can’t believe I didn’t mention it in my post.

I drink organic apple cider vinegar with local honey every morning. Lisa, we will get along just fine. It seems I will work in New York next year, at a downtown hotel. I will keep you posted, maybe we could meet for lunch or dinner then?
