True or False...

True, once. A beagle followed my father-in-law home (he lived with us) and he wanted to keep him. Big mistake. That dog kept running out the door every chance he got and was eventually hit by a car.

You have lots of house plants.
 
False. Only three. I'm not allowed to do anything with them except admire them. Preferably from afar. I don't argue the point - hubby has a green thumb - I'm more like the grim reaper. One touch from me and their days are numbered, usually in single digits.

Your mother tried to grow an avocado plant from a pit that was suspended over water by a few toothpicks.
 
True - I have a vague memory of her doing that - also sweet potatoes. I've had good success with avocados. I started one at work and it got to be a 10 foot tall tree. I used to put tinsel on it at Christmas time, but I had to leave it when I retired. It was so large, it wouldn't fit in my car. People promised they'd take care of it, but you know how that goes. I always wondered what happened to it. Where I worked has high security, so I can't just walk in there and check.

Another thing I had good luck starting was dates. I have 2 date palms - one I started at work I could bring home - it was supple enough to get in my car.

You like the sound of crickets chirping.
