There were a host of activities I was involved in from childhood on up.
At about seven or eight years of age I knew how to play quite a few card games including Bid Whist (that some used to call Big Wisk), Five Hundred Rummy.
Later, it was spades and so on. My mother taught me early.
I remember a time our cousins came up from down south Virginia to spend a week or two with us in New York.
My grandmother’s niece was disappointed that I taught my older thirteen-year-old cousin who was her son how to play Whist and he loved the card came.
He had never learned to play because his mother was trying to shelter him. It was her way of trying to raise her boy in a strict religious fashion.
I enjoyed the games my mother and I used to play together and with others when we had get-togethers.
Whether it was Dominoes, Backgammon, Monopoly, The Game of Life, Upwards, Boggle, Clue and the rest of pastimes that kept us pleasantly occupied we had a lot of engaging fun!
I was nine or ten years of age when my great-grandmother first taught me how to crochet. At the time, I didn’t have the patience to learn to knit.
When I first heard this past Friday that Peter Fonda died I immediately said to myself “Aw”, and I thought about how great a role he played in my favorite cult film classic 
There was always 
Cook me up a meal to satisfy my belly and my belly will yell out “bellissimo!”
I just got finished not too long ago eating a portion of cornbread that I prepared after midnight.
Once I get started on one of my creative works my attention is totally focused and I stay occupied until the missions are completed.
I love the comforts of home, especially after a day or night at the job, depending on the shift I worked.
I’m not an emotional type of person though I’m very passionate and energetic I love my space as I don’t like to intermingle too much. I’m very particular with whom I associate myself with if I do give certain people the time of day.
When I’m at home I love to relax. I delight within preparing and cooking my favorite foods, listening to good music, preferably tunes from when music was “real music”, not the shit predominately recorded now.
My mother, Patricia, made herself some potato salad earlier today and had fried chicken wings to go along with it.
I had an awesome breakfast and she had an amazing lunch.
When I was about twelve or thirteen I remember these commercials would come on the television advertising one to call up to win prizes through automated/recorded quizzes.
After I found out the bonus prize I would only call on Wednesday to get me some free doughnuts.
When I was a little girl I use to love doughnuts and munchkins.
Even desserts can be made healthy and we can eat moderate portions or balance out the sweets with other sources of nutrition with foods such as vegetables, fruit, protein, and healthy oils.
Then, my mother began making her own home-made cheesecake which came out great. And, nowadays we have non dairy cheese cakes available for those of us who live on a vegan or vegetarian diet!
My favorite type of shake is french vanilla, my mother loves her german chocolate shakes, we’d have a ball engaging within our appetites as we delighted in one another’s company, too.
I’m into food. One couldn’t tell by looking at me as It seems as if I never gain a pound.
Not all of us born of this sign fall under the same exact categories as we all have our own individual characteristics, of course. Though, I am stubborn as hell. Once my mind is made up no one can change it.
For lunch yesterday, I ate green peas. I usually mix them with corn to dress over my rice dishes, however, I didn’t have anymore rice left.
Many puppies and dogs are special by nature.
My mother bought me my first electric typewriter when I was twelve years of age. It was an excellent quality Brother model attractively toned in beige with a black keyboard.
