If someone gave you $10,000 and told you that you could NOT give it to any of your friends, family members or use it for yourself, what would you do with it?

I would give it to Heifer, International, an organization that buys farm animals for families in need in poor countries.

In how many places have you lived during your lifetime? Provide a brief description of each place you’ve lived, why you lived there, and why you moved.

Born in Portland, Oregon, Moved to Benton City when I was one year old. 808 Ash Street.  Moved to Richland when I was 18.  At 21 I moved to Kennewick when we bought our first house.  2538 West Entiat.  Then to 415 South Green Place in Kennewick for 34 years.  Moved back to Richland in 2016 to 2456 Tiger Lane.

What are some of the life lessons that you have learned and would like to pass on to your descendants?

Life lessons:

If you lie, it will usually come back to bite you in the ass.  Or, it will wear on you until you tell the truth.  Don't lie.

Keep your integrity.  It is something no person can take away from you.

Always have something in savings.  It will take away a lot of stress in your life.

Always be there for family.  They will always be there for you.

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

What are 5 significant events or experiences in your life, and explain what effects they have had on you.

I don't feel like I have had five "significant" events in my life that fashioned me into what kind of person I am today.

My personality was deeply set when I was born and I just did what came naturally to me.  When I was young I had many friends but no one that I was extremely close to.  I liked to do odd jobs and earn money so that I could save it.  I usually had some money stashed away somewhere in a special box.  I get more enjoyment from saving money than spending it.  When in high school I loved chasing boys and going to dances.  I didn't do athletics because I didn't have that "gift" and I liked chasing boys better.  Marriage is where I want to be.  I always considered myself "half" of a couple.  Change is something I don't do quickly.  I put a lot of thought into it.

And that's all I have to say about this question!
