2. What was the best book you read?

One educational reread- _Marva Collins Way_ Marva Collins
Fiction _The Keeper of the Bees_ Gene Stratton Porter
Another educational read _Children Who are not yet Peaceful_ Goertz

3. What was your favorite TV show?

TV has lost it's luster this year altogether for me.

4. Who was the best new person you met?

So many, but the person on my mind is Myra Arnold

5. Tell us a valuable life lesson.

Criticizing another without taking time to know a person or his or her motives damages a person and their family both publically and inwardly. Preserving others dignity, humanity, and reputation far outweighs stating personal opinions and positions.
