Riddle From the Middle’s SYW Questions – 12/11/17
Is your second toe longer than your big toe?
No
What happens when the dogs dream?
Not sure. The last time I had a dog I was a child. I grew up in a house with a front and back yard. I’ve had cats since the 1980s. My space is very small so only cats can fit. So it’s me and Sylvester. He is a chill kitty and I have no indication of his dreams. Perhaps he is dreaming of chasing mice and cans of tuna.
What’s on your closet floor right now?
Junk! Well not exactly. Once I moved from 3 1/2 rooms to one room my one and only closet has become storage space. The rest of my stuff is in outside storage. One day I hope to get my own place again and get my stuff out of storage in particular my furniture.
Name five books on your bookshelf.
No longer have bookshelves. No room. Everything is on my Kindle. I have to Zoom the text up to its largest level. Very embarrassing. Plus due to eye problems and even after my Retina surgery in Jan. 2010 I have a great deal of trouble reading. I can only read the top largest line on the Eye Chart and everything else is a blur.
Gradually I’m moving to Audio Books. Real paperback or hardcover books no longer have much of a meaning to me because I basically can barely read the print. Reading has become a lost pleasure.
Would you prefer a reading nook or an art, craft, photography studio?
A Combined Art & Crafts plus Photography Studio for both Stephen and I.
Tell how you are feeling today in the form of a weather report. (For example, partly cloudy, sunny with a chance for showers, etc.)
Storm in the high seas! Thunder. Lightening. Upheaval and Turmoil! Hail and Sleet.
If you could witness or physically attend any event past, present or future, what would it be?
Anything from the Harlem Renaissance. Actually I’d Love to meet the Celebrated Renowned Harlem Renaissance Photographer James Van Der Zee who took my Dad’s photo around 1934 or 1935 and be there the day that the below photos was taken.
This is a picture of the studio where the photo was taken those many years ago. Now it is a Real Estate Office.
What inspired you or what did you appreciate this past week? Feel free to use a quote, a photo, a story, or even a combination.

It was fun reading both sets of questions 😀
Thanks. I know that I’m way behind in my responses but I hope to catch up soon.
I love your weather report question!
My mom eventually lost the ability to read books — more due to an ability to track text and make sense of it than a vision thing — and our love of reading had been lifelong. She began to take great joy in audio books. Whenever I’d find a great read I’d track it down in audio so she could enjoy it, too.
Thanks. I can still read but my eyes get tired easily and quickly. So now I prefer Audio.
