My name is Nancy. I like strawberries, veggies. I have Barbie dolls. I have no siblings, no pets. I prefer dogs to cats. I have never been to California. I would like to go to California. I don't have a back yard with fruit trees. I like lime trees. I cook. I prefer homemade salad dressing to store bought salad dressing.
My name is Michelle. I love to go to the beach. I live in California.I have a yard.  I have two cats. I don't eat animal products. My favorite beach is Newport Beach. I haven't tried lime in dressings. My favorite veggies are lettuce and bell peppers.
Have you been to the beach lately? Yes, I was able to go to Newport Beach yesterday.  It was such a beautiful day.  I spent some time wading in the water. That sounds nice. I wish I had that close to me. I struggle for outside space here. How close are you to the beach? It takes about 30 minutes to get there.  Do you play with the Barbie dolls or do you have them on display as collectibles?   I used to when I was younger which is what started my fascination with them. I keep them as collectibles now. Some go for a lot of money. Mine are quite valuable but should increase in value the older they get. It's like collecting anything really. That sounds like a great hobby.  I don't collect anything.  My cats tend to knock things off of shelves. Cats are Ok but that's why I prefer dogs. They take more looking after but can be trained not to break stuff and scratch up your curtains!. Is the beach near you busy? or does it depend on the time of day? The beach can be busy depending on the time of the year.  Locals tend to know more secluded spots though.   That's the benefit of local knowledge! I suppose you can't move on Newport in summer. It is so crowded in the summer.  I spend more time in my yard than at the beach during peak tourist season! When you live near something so popular that must be frustrating being a local. It definitely can be.  I just try to be grateful that I live in such a beautiful area!
