If I could walk into a time travel agency and book a time trip, where and when would I book it, and why?
I'm still choosing so I'll let Stormy the Weather Gnome go first.

This is Stormy the Weather Gnome! Time Travel? Where & when would I go? That's easy! I'd go back to the 1800's and go visit Phillip Griebel, the German sculptor who created garden gnomes, and thank him for making ME so AWESOME!

Well, that's hard to top!
So, where and when would I go? I'm a big fan of the old west. Of course, it's not easy being a woman in any time period in our history, and the old west is no exception, but I think living in the USA at this time would be pretty amazing. Most of the land was still unpopulated and beautiful. Everything was built by hand with craftsmanship and pride. If you wanted something you had to work your ass off for it. It was a harder life but a simple lifestyle.
Hopefully I don't screw up the present when I tell them about the pizza oven!

Best of luck to you PK! I love your cover and I can't wait to read your book!
Thank you, Heather and Stormy! I was curious where Stormy would choose, and now I know. I didn't realize garden gnomes were invented by a German. That's my motherland, you know. lol
ReplyDeleteThe old west would be so refreshing. Scary, but refreshing and fun and wild and free! I'd love it!
Thank you so much for joining in today!!
The wild west and meeting Calamity Jane....Awesome!
ReplyDeleteIt was still sort of the old west at my grandparents homestead... Some stuff of that was very cool. Especially the pie. I bet they didn't tell you about the pie. (and the gold mining--that you may have heard of)
ReplyDeleteWho's to say you don't go back in time and invent the pizza oven?
ReplyDeleteI laughed at Stormy the Weather Gnomes choice. It makes perfect sense!
ReplyDeleteThe Old West would be quite interesting to witness, but you're right that time (just like many times in our history) were not easy for women. And I think telling them anything about pizza would certainly screw something up. lol
I too think the old west would have been a fun time to live, but whew! I'm glad I get to enjoy my air conditioning, water heater and car. Nothing like smelling like "horse" when you head into town. ;)
ReplyDeleteLove this: "If you wanted something you had to work your ass off for it." I still subscribe to this school of thought! Hard work never killed anyone... not to my knowledge.
ReplyDeletePK's cover is ab fab!
Wow... the WILD WEST... Interesting choice, Heather... Definitely tough times for women and men too...
ReplyDeleteLOL; yeah, you'd not want to create any paradoxes by introducing too modern a concept.
ReplyDeleteLong years ago a I had teen baby-sitter not be able to cook popcorn for my kids cuz she didn't know how to use oil and a lidded pan. I could;t help but LMAOFF.
......dhole
I love that you had Stormy answer this one.

Excellent choices, Stormy and Heather! I'd love to see the land unpopulated too. Mmm... pizza.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Pk!
And I've learned a new fact about garden gnomes. Thanks Stormy. I'd also love to see the Wild West! Great choice.
ReplyDeleteHey Stormy, cool time travel destination! Heather, I think going back to the old west would be a great time period to visit.
