The Saturday 9...

Thanks to Crazy Sam for today's questions!  You can join in HERE! 

She's in Love with the Boy

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! 

 

She's in Love with the Boy (1991)

Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.

1) This song tells the story of Katie and Tommy. She waited for him to pull up in his beat-up Chevy truck. Tell us about your wheels.  I have a silver 2017 Ford Escape.

 

2) Katie and Tommy stay out until 12:30 AM. What time did you go to bed last night?  9:30

3) The lyrics tell us, "What's meant to be will always find a way." Do you agree?  I believe that God is in control and is directing my life, so yes, I will eventually hear what He is saying and find His way to get where I am supposed to be.  It's not that simple, but yes.

4) This was the first big hit for Trisha Yearwood. While she's found her greatest success in music, she's also written top-selling cookbooks. Are you a better singer or cook?  Definitely a better cook!! 

5) Trisha also appeared in six episodes of the TV drama, JAG. She played a medical examiner and forensic pathologist, which means her character had a medical degree and (at least) one year of additional training. That's (at least) five extra years of higher education. Do you enjoy taking classes?  No. Not anymore.  I am always happy to learn new things but I don't want to sit in a classroom anymore.

6) In real life, Trisha earned a degree in Business Administration before going into music. She uses what she learned in school, keeping a close eye on her finances and those of her superstar husband, Garth Brooks. She says she likes and trusts the people hired to their money, "but I check on them." Do you keep a careful eye on where your money goes?  Pretty much and it can be terrifying. I am working again because I have to, not because I want to.  It will all work out though. I am blessed.

 

7) In 1991, when this song was popular, Dances with Wolves was a hit in the theaters. Have you seen it?  Yes, I have seen it.  It is a beautiful movie but I can't watch the wolf being killed.  

8) Also in 1991, Seinfeld was a big deal on the small screen. It's still popular in syndication on cable channels and on streaming services. Do you more often watch broadcast TV or streaming/on-demand channels?  I rarely have regular broadcast TV on anymore.  I stream and stream and stream...

9) Random question: Have you ever gone a day without laughing?  Joe could always make me laugh.  There are days that I probably don't laugh out loud since he died, but I do giggle at the funnies in the paper and at silly things on TV.  My co-workers are all fun, too, and can make me laugh. Life was a lot more fun with Joe though, that's for sure.

Peace & hugs!

Job 8:21: “He will once again fill your mouth with 

laughter and your lips with shouts of joy.”
