I am from N.J. originally, moved to Florida with family when I was 14 years old. Lived on a family farm for a few years in Florida. Horseback riding is one of my favorite memories back then. My dad, an Englishmen, who grew up on a farm as a kid, taught us kids how to ride and jump horses. We road bareback most of the time. My dad was always very health conscious, he‘s 92 years old now, and now rides an adult tricycle around his neighborhood in Florida. When we were kids growing up in N.J., he would pay us kids a penny a lap, to jog around our big back yard. We would jog 25 or more times around, take the money we made, and buy a bag full of penny candy! I had a great childhood with 5 other siblings and fun parents! Most folks do not know, I have a twin sister.Q. If you had to eat one meal every day for the rest of your life, what would it be?A.
