Here Comes Peter Cottontail
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: Here Comes Peter Cottontail (from the archives)
1) Which do you prefer: colored hard-boiled eggs, chocolate marshmallow eggs, or plastic eggs with coins inside? I do like all of those, but it would be silly to prefer any above finding coins inside a plastic egg!! LOL
2) What's your favorite color of Peeps (yellow, purple, or pink)? I am not crazy about Peeps, but I'll pick yellow to answer the question.
3) All this talk of sweets is making Sam hungry. What's for lunch? I'm doing this Friday night, so I had a salad for lunch with some chicken, a cut-up fresh pear, tomatoes, lettuce, etc. It was quite good with some honey mustard dressing.
4) This song was introduced by country singer Gene Autry, and it's still a favorite. Please share some of the lyrics. (And you're on your own; Sam didn't include a link to the song this week.) Off the top of my head... Here comes Peter Cottontail, hopping down the bunny trail, hippity hoppity Easter's on its way...
5) Gene Autry was so popular that a town in Oklahoma named itself for him. Have you ever been to Oklahoma? Nope.
6) He and his horse Champion also had a TV show. Can you name another famous horse? Trigger.
7) Gene Autry also recorded "Rudolph, the Red Nosed Reindeer," and it was, of course, wildly popular, too. Who is your favorite recording artist? I don't have a favorite recording artist. I like way too many to zero in on one.
8) In 1950, the year Autry recorded this song, Diner's Club issued the first credit card. Think of the last thing you purchased. Did you use cash, a credit card, a debit card, an e-wallet service (Visa Checkout, Paypal, Google Pay, Apple Pay ...) or a check? I use my credit card for most expenses and pay it off each month. It is safer than using my debit card, which has limits on how the banks can help you recover money when it is scammed. I am on my third debit card because it was being used in Chicago, and another one in Miami. My son suggested I use my credit card and earn cash back, too. It is working well for me.
9) Easter is recognized as the start of the spring season. What are you looking forward to this spring? My car is filthy. Pollen season is about done here, so next week I will be visiting the car wash. I'm ashamed of how dirty it is. Yuck! Our spring season has really been over for a month or so. Our temps are hitting 90 already. Summer is here in central Florida.
Pollen, ugh…tree pollen is around here right now and so are my allergies
ReplyDeleteWe had wild yesterday that added to the joy of spring pollen!
ReplyDeletePollen isn't here yet, but I know it's soon coming!
ReplyDeleteI've been using my credit card more too because it's safer, then I pay it using my online banking. Works well!
Happy Easter!
I agree on a lot of your answers--our first egg hunt here for the kids was a learning curve---candy in the hidden eggs melted into a mess! lol outside if fun finding the eggs and the candy is waiting inside for the kids!
ReplyDeleteI hadn't even thought about that song in ages, Terri, so I enjoyed the memory. Great Idea to use credit cards (or cash) only as debit cards can be compromised. Our pollen is about finished here, too, thank goodness. Have a wonderful Easter!
ReplyDeleteI asked Gary the first question and he took a surprising amount of time to respond. He said probably the hard boiled egg because he doesn’t care for the marshmallow eggs that much and these days, the amount of money inside a plastic egg isn’t worth as much as it used to be.
ReplyDeleteRegarding #5 and Oklahoma, I was born there.
I do exactly as you do with question #8. This has served me well.
Yes, summer has begun here in Florida!
I think Trigger was my first girlhood crush (lol). I, too, use my credit card exclusively to get points and redeem at year's end for gift certificates. No-way I could narrow a fav recording artist to just one ... 10, even, or 20!
ReplyDeleteI love Marshmallow eggs, and we couldn't find any, sigh, we waited too long, I knew I should have bought them last week. I did buy Peeps, I love those. Smiles---wishing you a lovely Easter.
