This is part three of 100 Questions I came across at 4 Hats and Frugal. For this next set, I'm going to have a little help from Clara Stowe.
Don't miss reading part one with Brenna Gallagher and part two with Rhona Blackwood.
51. Last time you got a portrait taken by a photographer?
MK: By a professional? It has been . . . awhile.
Clara: Before I came to Montana.
52. Do you think musicals are cheesy?
MK: Depends on the musical. I wore out our VHS tape of “White Christmas” growing up, but otherwise, I don’t recall seeing many.
Clara: What is cheesy?
MK: Inferior, cheap—
Clara: What’s a musical?
MK: A play with lots of singing?
Clara: What is VHS?
MK: Something from a forgotten time.
Clara: What is—
MK: You ask a lot of questions.
53. Is Christmas stressful?
MK: Decorating day is a bit hectic, but the rest is mellow and filled with holiday cheer.
Clara: Christmas is always a joyous time of year in our home.
54. Ever eat a pierogi?
MK: I’ve had dumplings, though I cannot speak to their origins.
Clara: I have never heard of them.
MK: Do you like to cook?
Clara: I’m learning.
MK: But do you enjoy it?
Clara: I’m learning.
MK: Have the new cook at your inn make you dumplings. You’ll like them.
Clara: You sound certain.
MK: Trust me. I’ll share a recipe with her.
Clara: I have a new cook?
MK: You will?
Clara: Really? When?
MK: In your continuing story.

Clara: Well . . .
55. Favorite type of fruit pie?
MK: Cherry
Clara: Apple
56. Occupations you wanted to be when you were a kid?
MK: K-9 cop, doctor, lawyer, professional shopper, designer
Clara: I never planned to have a profession. MK had other plans.
MK: They’re good plans. You have a beautiful inn.
Clara: I didn’t know the first thing about running an inn.
MK: You don’t have to do it alone.
Clara: Thank goodness for that. I am learning quite a lot.

Clara: Yes, I wear bedroom slippers.
61. Do you wear a bath robe?
MK: Yes, after I dress for bed at night and again in the morning. It’s all very Downton, without the lady’s maid. That would be weird.
Clara: I had a lady’s maid.
MK: Really? Yeah, that tracks considering your family.
Clara: You didn’t have her travel with me to Montana.
MK: No, I did drop the ball on that one. Do you want a lady’s maid?
Clara: You did not put me in a place of high fashion, so one is not necessary here.

MK: Yeah, can’t help you there.
62. What do you wear to bed?
MK: Nightgown
Clara: Nightgown
63. What was your first concert?
MK: I don’t remember. I was youngish and discovered quickly that I don’t like concerts.

MK: I’ve never been to the kind of concert you’re talking about.
Clara: What other kind is there?
64. Walmart, Target, or Kmart?
MK: None of the above. I used to go to Target, but it’s been a few years.
Clara: Are those people?
MK: Places
Clara: They sound odd.

Clara: You live in an odd time.
MK: Tell me about it.
Clara: I cannot for I do not know anything about your time.
MK: That’s not . . . never mind.

MK: Fritos, but only with tuna sandwiches.
Clara: Should I even ask?
MK: They’re a type of food.
Clara: Do they taste good?
MK: Sometimes.

70. Is there a profession you picture your future spouse doing?
MK: Whatever he wants to do works for me, so long as he’s happy.

MK: You just need to give me a little more time.
Clara: It has been a long time.
MK: In my time or yours?
Clara: Good point.
71. Can you curl your tongue?
MK: Not really.
Clara: How would I know?
MK: Look in the mirror and try to curl your tongue.
Clara: Why?
MK: To see if you can.
Clara: To what end?
MK: Moving on . . .
72. Have you ever won a spelling bee?
MK: I never competed in one.

MK: I’m sure I have.
Clara: Oh, yes.
74. Own any record albums?
MK: Unfortunately, I do not.

MK: You don’t.
Clara: All right.
75. Own a record player?
MK: Since I don’t have record albums that would be no.
Clara: That was not a friendly response.
MK: It was kind of a dumb question. It should have come before the album question.
Clara: You should apologize.
MK: Why?
Clara: What is a record player?
MK: I guess that conversation is over.
76. Do you regularly burn incense?
MK: Never. I like candles.
