HODGEPODGE APRIL 24

1. The Hodgepodge lands on National Picnic Day...will you celebrate? Do you enjoy picnics? Dining out of doors picnic or otherwise? What are three or four things I'd find in your picnic basket? 

I didn't even know that a National Picnic Day exists, of course I won't celebrate. But I like picnics, it's loooong ago that we have had one, but each year you can see the Napoleon or Wellington soldiers, eating their picnic during the rehearsals of the battle. 

 

or in middle age events

2.  A time recently where you felt 'antsy'? 

 Not really, I feel more like I'm numb

3. As the saying goes...'when life gives you lemons, make lemonade.'  Do you like lemonade? When did you recently need to make lemonade out of lemons, figuratively speaking?

Honestly, I don't remember ever having to make lemonade out of lemons. Here in my castle, people just live happily without any effort.

4. Recently five 'celebrities' made a brief (ll minute) foray into space aboard Jeff Bezos Blue Origin rocket. Did you hear about this? Your thoughts? If money were no object is this something you'd like to do someday? 

 

I never won't go a brief or a long minute into space ! It doesn't interest me at all. With the money that it would cost to see nothing, I would rather turn around our globe, visit all countries and discover beautiful landscapes, make cruises, take helicopters or small airplanes to see interesting things from above, but the moon or mars or whatever I prefer to see laying on the beach in the warm sand or in hey and admire the sky ! I also think the money for that should be spent for cancer researches and other diseases without any hope of getting healthy again.

5. Favorite thing about the 'space' you're sitting in right now? 

 

The space I am sitting in right now, is my burrow in which like an animal I feel well. Probably little Rosie is my favorite thing in my "space".

Rosie in "her" space

6. Insert your own random thought here.  

Ever since my friend Andrée died, I've been thinking about death. Nature has a good way of doing things, the older you get, the less afraid you are. 

The only fear is that you'll be intubated and hooked up to tubes and become nothing more then a vegetable. In that case, most people want to be euthanized. 

Now I have two other people I get along with who are as "healthy" as I am. But who knows, maybe while we are playing Scrabble, one of us will fall off our chair and never get up again.

 

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY - IMAGE-IN-ING

 

 

Finally, you can see that spring is here. Flowers are blooming everywhere and the trees are putting on their green clothes and don't look like skeletons anymore.
