No, I never have. I have a dishwasher, but I really don’t dirty many dishes. So, I usually wash as I go.
Do you talk to friends/family on the phone ? Or, mostly text ? I do both.

I do both as well. I talk to my parents on Sunday evenings. Other family members, usually just text.
What was the last book you read? I just finished The Body, by Bill Bryson. It was great, just like all of the others I've read of his.

slicksister, that book sounds really interesting! I'll have to add it to my to-read list. Both of my parents are living, and my grandma lives with them; however, my mother in law passed away last May. How many cousins do you have?

I have 11 cousins- none of whom I speak to at present time. My dad was an only and my mom's family is pretty looney. I kept in touch with one cousin because we grew up together but this election and her love for her candidate was just too much disconnect for me. Plus, I have some really bad news to share with her and I'm "not allowed" yet. Sigh. Much longer answer than I had entended to give.
pie or cake?

Awe, peace, I'm so sorry. I hope your conversation goes well. I'm the 4th oldest of 14 on my mom's side, and while I don't talk to any on a regular basis, I try to check in from time to time. Hmmm... right now, I'd probably say cake, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't say pie in an hour. Haha! Ice cream or gelato?

Do you print your pictures or just store on your phone/cloud/photo site ?
I try and print my pictures quarterly to keep up my photo albums. I haven’t scrapbooked in years and switched to just photo albums.

Right now, I have about 4,000 pictures on my phone. Since Covid, I’ve made 2 scrapbooks and am making 2 more for Christmas presents.

What is the #1 thing on your "bucket list?" I have a tie for first... I'd love to fly in a helicopter and I'd love to hold a baby chimp or orangutan. I got to hold a monkey once on vacation, but it just sat on my shoulder. It was kinda cute and it was petting my hair. But I've always, since I was a little girl wanted to hold one of the other two.

I've had 3 things on my bucket list since I was about 13 - to go to the Olympics, to see a show on Broadway in NYC and to attend the Kentucky Derby. I went to the Olympics in 2010 and to NYC and saw 6 shows on Broadway in 2016. So it's the Derby for me.
Have you have a cooking or baking flop lately? I made 5 different bundt cake recipes off of Pinterest today and NONE of them were very good. SIGH. Two were complete flops, one was just ok and the others were passable but nothing special.

I'm a mooch who eats at her father-in-law's house and then goes to her parents' for Thanksgiving. My FIL makes a delicious peanut butter pie, and there's usually apple and/or pumpkin at my parents'.
What's your favorite kind of cake?
