Here’s this week’s SHARE YOUR WORLD – 2015 WEEK #40.

If you have been to a foreign country name those you have been too?

I’ve been to the following foreign countries:

• England
• Scotland
• Hungary
• Slovakia
• Austria
• Germany
• Holland
• Ireland

Is the glass half empty or half full? What type of glass is it and what is in the glass?

The glass is definitely half full, but I’ve never thought about what the glass is half full of. My non-alcoholic choice would be iced tea. My alcoholic choices right now would be a Moscow Mule or a Margarita.

If you could have an endless supply of any food, what would you get?

Ice cream. I’d hope for a variety of flavors—just about everything except vanilla, which is so, well, plain vanilla.

List: List at least five places worth shopping.

• Trader Joe’s
• Tacoma Boys
• Costco
• King’s Books
• Barnes & Noble

Bonus question: What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up?

Yesterday we actually had RAIN! We sorely needed it. I hope for a bit more rain this coming week. As much as I love sunshine, we desperately need a lot of rain right now.

It’s time for this week’s installment of SHARE YOUR WORLD – 2015 WEEK #39.

Which way does the toilet paper roll go? Over or under?

Over, of course. Every time I see this question asked, as it was recently on Facebook, everybody answers “over.” I’ve never seen one “under” answer yet.

If you were a crayon, what color would you be?

No question: This:

You are comfortable doing nothing? For long stretches of time?

I’m afraid not. I tried fishing once and nearly went crazy sitting on a bluff holding a fishing pole and feeling as if I was doing absolutely nothing. All I could think was, “I could be reading.”

Rather: Would you accept $5,000 to shave your head or die it bright lime green and continue your normal activities while not explaining the reason for your haircut or color?

Oh, baby, here in Seattle Seahawks country I could die my hair lime green and never have to explain it to anyone. I’d fit right in. So I’d go with the green hair if it would net me $5,000.

Bonus question: What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up?

Last week was a good one. I even got some writing done. In the week coming up we are traveling a bit east of the Cascade Mountains for a Road Scholar program about the Methow Valley. I’m looking forward to learning about the region’s history. We should also get to see some beautiful fall foliage.
