Hi! I'm your host Bev Sykes of the blog "Funny the World". . Welcome to Sunday Stealing. This feature originated and published on WTIT: The Blog. Here we will steal all types of questions from every corner of the blogosphere. Our promise to you is that we will work hard to find the most interesting and intelligent questions. Cheers to all of us thieves!

1. Where did your name come from?  Not sure about my first name but my middle name, Lee, is from my maternal great-grandma.

2. Where were you born?  Fayette County, Ohio

3. What was your house like, growing up?  Full of love and lots of laughter.

4. What was your childhood bedroom like?  I had my own room and in my teens was allowed to pick the paint color - lavender - and the spread, curtains, etc., were pink and purple. Dad cringed a bit when I picked lavender, but I got it anyway!

5. Did you travel as a child? Where?  We vacationed in Canada 4-5 summers when I was growing up.

6. Write about your grandparents.  My dad's folks were farmers and worked very hard.  Granny was a great cook and made the best-fried chicken ever.  

My mom's folks ... I had three wonderful grandpa's.  Grandma was married three times.  She was a very difficult woman and I will just leave it at that.  This is her with my mom's dad, her first husband.

My step-grandma who married my mom's biological dad was a loving woman who loved us like we were her own.  She lived into her 90s and never forgot a birthday or a holiday and opened her home to us whenever we were in Ohio.  Loved her to the moon and back.

7. Who taught you how to drive?  My dad. We didn't' have to take Driver's Ed back then.

8. When did you first leave home?  When I went to business college after high school and then got married.

9. What did your parents do for work?  Both of my folks worked for the Federal Government.  Mom was with the Post Office and Dad was with the DOD/Airforce (civilian).

10. Who inspired you as you matured?  My parents.  Being the oldest of four, I didn't have older siblings to look up to.  In my teens, I could say it was my two older cousins, Peggy and Pam.

11. What was the best part of your 20s?  Moving to the Washington, DC, area.  We followed my first husband's job there.

12. What is the best part of your 30s?  Divorcing that first husband and meeting Joe.

13. Where is the most fascinating place you’ve visited?  Venice, Italy.

14. What is your favorite family story?  I have so many from vacations in Canada, to Christmases, to 4th of July neighborhood picnics in our back yard... those picnics were the best fun!!

15. What was your most memorable birthday?  With my birthday just before Christmas, it is hard to outdo the big holiday, but when I was 16 I asked for a large "the works" pizza to be just for me, instead of a birthday cake.  A large pizza with the works cost $3.75 back then. That was a lot of money!  Pizza wasn't on every corner like it is today. This was a local pizza place (my town of 1,100 people) and I got it! I had to beg the family to help me eat it when I couldn't eat any more!  Dad laughingly never let me live it down!

18. What was your favorite food as a child?  I was not a picky eater but we always fought over the last helping of broccoli with cheese sauce!!  Yes... broccoli.  We always had a huge garden and we loved veggies!  Especially with cheese sauce!!

Thanks for your visit!

Peace & hugs!!  God bless!!
