Saturday 9

 

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?

Nice Jewish girl here, my holiday is Passover, which we celebrated last week.  Hard boiled eggs are also part of Passover, I ate a lot of them this week, so I’m really done  with them at this point.  Please pass a chocolate egg.  I’ll take one with marshmallow, but I actually prefer Reese’s peanut butter eggs, if you’ve got them.

2) What's your favorite color of Peeps (yellow, purple, or pink)?

Pink.

3) All this talk of sweets is making Sam hungry. What's for lunch?

A nice salad.

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.)

Here comes Peter Cottontail, hopping down the bunny trail …

5) Gene Autry was so popular that a town in Oklahoma named itself for him. Have you ever been to Oklahoma?

No.

6) He and his horse Champion also had a TV show. Can you name another famous horse?

Man O’War. Seabiscuit. Secretariat.

I live 19 miles (28 minutes) away from Belmont, what did you expect?

In 2014 I visited Kentucky Horse Park, a museum dedicated to  horses.

More about the park

7) Gene Autry also recorded "Rudolph, The Red Nosed Reindeer," and it was, of course, wildly popular, too. Who is your favorite recording artist?

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 think I’ve written two checks this year.  I love PayPal.  Most recent purchase was a debit card purchase.

9) Easter is recognized as the start of the spring season. What are you looking forward to this spring?

Warm weather, flowers blooming, more time outside.  I just bought some spring clothes and I’m dying to wear them. 

 

Thanks so much for joining us again at Saturday: 9. As always, feel free to come back, see who has participated and comment on their posts. In fact sometimes, if you want to read & comment on everyone's responses, you might want to check back again tomorrow. But it is not a rule. We haven’t any rules here. Join us on next Saturday for another version of Saturday: 9, "Just A Silly Meme on a Saturday!" Enjoy your weekend!
