Hootin' Anni's Day Trippin'

1. Who was your FIRST date? Each date with a different guy is a first!!! It's really not the 'who' that was important, it was the HOW!! It depends, really on which first date too. My first date with Hubby was stupendous. [photo link] He wined and dined me like we were millionaires. Fancy smanchy restaurant, a huge bouquet of red, long-stemmed roses, cocktails and gifts at another establishment....it was very romantic. Ya, I liked that first date so much, I married the guy three months later.

2. Do you still talk to your FIRST love? We keep in touch. Bob and I exchange birthday cards and holiday cards...he was from when I was in 4th grade!

3. What was your FIRST alcoholic drink? I grew up with beer drinkers. BEER when I was pro'lly around 5 or maybe 6. My 2nd older brother had a keg tap in his home....more beer. Then, I drank my first 'hard stuff'...it was a vodka gimlet. Now...rarely any alcoholic beverages for me.

4. What was your FIRST job? Other than babysiter jobs from 12 years of age [I babysat for one of my brother's kids all summer long for 4 years--got GOOD pay...enough to buy my own car!]...I then worked as receptionist [part time during school] at the CoC!!

5. What was your FIRST car? Ford....paid for with me saving my money. It was the friendliest car in the 'hood!!!! It was so out of balance, even a pebble on the road would make it bounce and wave at everyone on the streets!!!


6. Where did you go on your FIRST ride on an airplane? Again, another brother....I even got to fly it! [take the controls] He had his own single engine Cessna. The where is just over the Colorado prairies....flew with him to Vegas one weekend...that was a scare...we 'ran into a huge storm coming over the Rockies, back home...in winter....he flying with just the instrument panel....talk about praying!!!!!! I was never so happy to touch down on level land at the private airport!!!! Big commercial jets....traveling. I think my first trip on a commercial jet was to Baltimore...what a riot that was...the airport when I arrived there, it was a trailer house...coming from the 'huge' Stapleton International in Denver...it was just a big laugh to me....such a small rinky dink airport in Baltimore. Way back....long time ago.

7. Who was your FIRST best friend & do you still talk? Patty Jones....no, I have absolutely no idea where she is.

8. Whose wedding did you attend the FIRST time? Paul and Gloria I think...at least that's the first one I remember.

9. Tell us about your FIRST roommate. My mom...she was the best wombie!!! Then, after I grew up a little...I shared a ROOM with my sister...I was a college drop out, and only less than an hour away...drove back and forth...then comes marriage...guess!!!

10. If you had one wish, what would it be (other than more wishes)? ...if I don't wish for anything...then, I'm never disappointed! If you really want a wish...it'd be 'mo' money.

11. What is something you would learn if you had the chance? To fly a plane....legally. In other words get my own pilot's license.

12. Did you marry the FIRST person you were in love with? No. Long story...guess my real first love was FRANK [newspaper clipping]....he was killed in action in the Viet Nam war...I'd've been a widow at the age of 20.

13. What were the first lessons you ever took and why? Catechism...but that was forced on me...if I had my druthers, I wouldn't have attended these lessons, believe me. I don't think I've ever 'taken' any lessons...I learned to play the piano on my own [and read sheet music]...I never had driving lessons [car, that is]...I just got behind the wheel and drove; I was a natural...I studied art in school....I studied and taught myself three languages other than English....but never technically paid outside tuition for lessons....I'm one of those 'self taught' people. The only lesson I could possibly come up with would be a lesson on life...and it's an never-ending lesson...I learn something every day. And the 'why' would be because I love life and what is handed me.

14. What is the first thing you do when you get home? Take my shoes off!!!!
