I have written about Jack often, we are so lucky to have such a good natured, affectionate and cute little Jack Russell as part of our family. Whenever my hubby is home, Jack gets so excited that he squeals, he then runs around like a loon waiting for his papa to catch him and even goes sniffing and barking around for pretend mice to show that he is doing his job as the mouse hunter. It’s a whole big production when papa gets home. I think that a small part of the production is due to the fact that my hubby and Jack share dinner often together and Jack likes to show his appreciation for his papa.

Tonight, my hubby gave Jack an extra special treat, the pot that had macaroni and cheese in it. Jack did his part of his chores, he cleaned the pot squeaky clean, all that I have to do now is clean it with dishwashing soap and dry it. Jack does his part to help in the household, the little cutie.

Who are you?

Do you consider yourself the outgoing performer or the appreciative bystander? Why?

I am very much the appreciative bystander when given the choice. Occasionally, when I have to be the performer, it isn't really the outgoing performer. I can be the performer but it's usually subdued, I have horrible stage fright and it is so very difficult for me to perform in front of people. When I used to be the French teacher for my children's elementary school; part of the curriculum was putting on Fairy Tale plays in French for the entire school and the parents. Fortunately as director, stage manager and narrator, my time on stage was obscured with everyone's focus on the children reciting their lines in French. Since I wasn't the focus, I could easily blend in with the scenery whch suited me perfectly.

Whenever we host programs at the Historical Society, I am always much more comfortable setting up, cleaning up and baking for the guests and the Directors. I am very comfortable with small groups but once the numbers increase to a crowd that is when I find myself far out of my comfort zone.

I don't mind being the appreciative bystander, I am very good at it I'll have you know.
