Hey guys! This is finally our Answer post! But first, I want to ask you all to pray for Dad. He is having a flare-up of his diverticulitis that (last time) made him have to go to the hospital for several days. We are treating it herbally right now, but would appreciate prayer!
Now. Questions for Rachel:
What is your favorite poem? Wow. This is really hard...I love all of Tolkien's poems, and Robert Louis Stevenson, Rachel Field, and Sir Walter Scott. Can't pick poems, but poets.
Do you know how many stories you have attempted to write? I think about 13 or 14.
How are you able to write such lovely poetry? Well...*blush* I don't really know. I just will get a phrase in my head about something or another, and it becomes a poem....I don't have any big method, except that at the top of my page I label all the consonants so that I can rhyme quickly and easily.
What would you do if you received a love letter signed "Egbert"? "My dear Egbert. Your gallantry far outshines your name. At our wedding ceremony, we shall both take new names. I shall take your surname, and you shall become William."
Do you like ballads? Depends on what kind....some Irish ones are all about drinking and whiskey and I don't like those. But I love the good old ones!
What is the most inspirational place to be while writing poems? Gracious...ummmm...outdoors usually, on the front porch, or in a group setting where someone says something funny and it sets me to thinking...or when someone is sick and my sympathy is working. *smiles at Abigail*
How do you find time to post and comment so much? I am a great crack-filler. I am constantly busy and am an expert at "spacial skills" regarding time and all that. I never have a dull moment, and just do things in spare minutes.
How many books have you completed? ummm 3 or 4
What is your favorite movie? 2009 Emma, Amazing Grace, Fireproof, The Fellowship of the Ring, and....lots and lots! :)
What is it like suddenly becoming the second eldest of 16 kids this spring? Umm...a bit like everyone multiplied. Each kid now has a twin....and I must have a very particular spill-chalker looking over my shoulder while blogging. :)
If you had a choice to marry a Scottish man with less refined character, or an Irishman with great character but the wrong accent, which would you choose? MATTHEW!!! I would plug my ears, turn my back to Scotland, and pledge my heart to the potato-eater! ;)
Now for Sarah's:
What is your favorite Civil War dance? Probably the Harper's Ferry or the Trenchmore.(if everyone knows how to do it:)
Which bone in your body would you most want to break?(!) *grins at Hannah* The same exact one as you!!!:0 I've always wanted to break my arm, and since I'm right-handed, I'd like to break my left one!!!:)
What do you like best about having older and younger sisters? I think it's really cool, and I'm thankful for an older sister to look up to, and younger ones to lead and guide!:)
What is your favorite book series? LOTR or Narnia, probably..... though I think I'd like the Scarlet Pimpernel ones, but I have only read the first.
Would you marry a guy whose last name was Palin? Okay.... Um, I don't find anything crazily unattractive about that name, so yeah!;)
Did you find it amusing to try and scare me at the ball? *malicious chortle* Yep!!! Though, I don't think I ever did scare you.
What is your least favorite school subject? Well, it varies... right now it's probably my science.. weather is not one of my passions.
What country would you like to visit? New Zealand, England, or Germany/Austria
How do you feel about having another older "brother" in the house? To be honest...... um..... IT'S GREAT!!!! :)
Would you marry a godly man if he was a missionary in the Middle East? I'd have to hear strongly from God that he was the one, and then yeah.
For both of us....
Which do you like better- square dancing or Civil War? Hands down Civil War. The Square dancing demonstrators are always plump old ladies in short dresses! :)
How big is your garden? Ummm....half an acre? It feels like ten acres when we are weeding it!
Lemonade or fruit punch? LEMONADE!!!
Are you really related to Davy Crockett? YES WE ARE!!!! On Mama's side (Walkers) we are directly related to Rebecca Crockett (his sister) so yeah! That means him! :)
What are your favorite icecream flavors? Strawberry Cheesecake, Cookie Dough, and Double Fudge Brownie
What are your favorite Civil War dances (since you asked all of us)? Sarah answered this one, but I'll say The Triumph and The Harper's Ferry.
Do you both like coffee? Oh yeah!
Have you both been to Starbucks? Yes. In a kiosk in an airport and lost our appetite over the prices.... :P
What are your favorite hobbies? I will not say writing. Random ones: volleyball, taking night walks, playing strange made-up games, singing, and.....shaving crayons with my fingernail!!!

Wet brooms swept across our feet
Sugar spilled on the floor
People leaving doors open
Brushing hair with wet hands
Several whippoorwills screaming ALL NIGHT through an open window
Singing songs until they get stuck in our heads

How do you know the Ozees? We knew them by reputation on the way up to Daughters of Destiny, and I spent a week with Shaina and Hannah in my cabin there! (And Sarah had Melissa and Leanna)
Will you put pictures of the dresses you wore to the ball, blotting out your faces? Umm..you know, I don't have a single picture of us where you can see our dresses! Oopsy! :(

The number 4, do we really need it? Of course! Don't pick on my even numbers! Boot out 13, or 39 which is an odious number! I hate odd numbers!

A-Slightly-More-Than-6-Month-Anniversary-Question-And-Answer-Post :)
Hey Guys! How is everyone this Tuesday? :) We are doing well, but have been keeping late nights for one reason or another, and so are only half alive in the mornings. ;) The weather here has been great! Only around 75 degrees! Yay! This last Sunday and the week before were such drastic differences. It was 100 degrees the last week, (with no A/C) and then 75 degrees this week! :) Needless to say, every was much happier this time! :) Anyway, I have been thinking that I want to do another question and answer post on here, because...they are fun! So here's the deal: I would like to see us get 50-100 questions to answer! You can continue to ask us questions until Friday, and then Saturday we can answer them all! (We'll continue to post in the meantime, so you'll just have to scroll down :) We have 33 followers, and so that is less than three questions a person if you all do it! :) Do as many as you want, and direct them toward me, Sarah, or both of us- whichever you want! Look forward to reading and answering all your questions! :) -Rachel
P.S. I began a writing blog as a sort of off-shoot of this blog, so that those of you who like reading about my writing and things, can read it there, and I won't take up so many of the posts Sarah could be doing on here! ;) You can get to it by clicking this:

Answers to our Questions!
You are about to witness the answers to some daring questions, some hard questions, and some downright ridiculous questions. I (Rachel) shall shock you first:
When was the last time you had a spanking? Ummm... I believe I was 11 or so, and I happily, cannot remember why I was spanked. Probably something to do with an unusual temper-fit or something.
What is your favorite book you've read? Since I was asked this twice, I shall get to pick two! Yay! I am profoundly in love with books! So the Bible is first, and then I will say Little Women.... this is so very hard not to pick more than two! It is nearly impossible!

What is your least favorite food? English muffins! :[
What is your least fav. chore? wiping out the fridge
If you could pick your future husband's profession, what would it be? Would being Scottish-blooded and accented count as a profession? No? Well, than a carpenter, blacksmith, or someone else who works with their hands and is very strong.

What would make you most scared? Giving a 30-minute speech in front of 500 people, meeting a possum while you're taking out the garbage in the dark, and he's in between you and the house, or singing solo in front of the same 500 people?

If you were given one million dollars how would you spend it? I would tithe ten percent and give that to a missionary our church supports in Romania. Then I would make sure my family had everything they needed, (pay all their debts), build the Walker's house for them, and then save whatever was left over in my hope chest to be brought forth one day to the delight of my husband!

Q and A
Hey guys!
Since we have the permission of Miss Abigail, I thought now would be as good of a time as any for doing one of these posts. So, any questions you have feel free to leave as a comment and probably on Wednesday we'll answer them. (I shouldn't really say "feel free" it's more like PLEASE LEAVE LOTS OF COMMENTS OR ELSE I'M GONNA CRY! =)
