Saturday:9 American Authors

Thanks to Samantha, over at Saturday:9, for yet another interesting meme for us! Link up and join the fun on this last day of April. 

Best Day of My Life

Welcome to Saturday 9. What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love memes, however, and here is today's meme! 

Saturday 9: Best Day of My Life (2013)
Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.

I'll just let you know that I've never heard of this group or the song, but it IS kind of kicky.

1) This song begins by mentioning clouds. Do you see clouds in the sky this fine Saturday?  Yes. Not rain clouds though.

2) Lead singer Zac Barnett sings that, "Everything is looking up." What are you looking forward to today?  Sleeping in!!

3) 2016 is not yet half over, but what's been your best day so far this year?  This has been a tough year for us, health wise, so I guess my best day was knowing Joe's stroke wasn't totally debilitating and that he would recover nearly 100%.

4) The members of the group, American Authors, met in college. When is the last time you heard from a school chum? Do you know them from grammar school, high school or college?  My dear friend, Karen and her husband Lee were just here for a visit. Karen and I have been friends since elementary school.  I hear from her and my other BFF, Elaine, from grade school frequently on social media and email.

5) One of the all-time best-selling American authors is romance writer Danielle Steele. She's been writing for more than 40 years and has sold more than 800 million books. Have you read any of her work? I think I have read a couple of her books, but she is not a favorite of mine.

6) Have you ever dreamed of being an author? Nope.

7) Do you have an e-reader?  Yes, I do!  Kindle Fire.

8) American Authors rang in 2016 in Chicago, giving an outdoor concert on New Year's Eve on a stage not far from Lake Michigan. There are 5 Great Lakes in all, including Lake Michigan. Without looking it up, name the other 4.  I lived on Lake Erie for a few years, Lake Huron, Lake Ontario and Lake Superior. I was born and raised in Ohio. We know our lakes (especially Erie & Michigan).

9) Random question: You see photos on Facebook of a dinner party hosted by a friend. You recognize most of the attendees, yet you weren't invited. How do you feel? Left out and angry? Do you wonder what you may have done to offend your friend? Or do you just forget about it and move on?  I would forget about it and move on.  We have several circles of friends and they don't all over-lap. We also all have dining rooms with only so many chairs.  I would not feel bad.  I'm not that kind of friend.

  

Thanks so much for joining us again at Saturday: 9. As always, feel free to come back, see who has participated and comment on their posts. In fact sometimes, if you want to read & comment on everyone's responses, you might want to check back again tomorrow. But it is not a rule. We haven’t any rules here. Join us on next Saturday for another version of Saturday: 9, "Just A Silly Meme on a Saturday!" Enjoy your weekend! 

Hope your weekend is off to a good start!  Thanks for your visit today!  Peace & hugs.
