1. Last time you were 'dressed to the nines'?
I really have to rake my brain, probably last Christmas when Rick was still with us. After he passed away, I didn't dress to the nines !
2. Something recently that had you on 'cloud nine'?
Certainly not, I have to get used to the fact that since 6 month I am a widow and have lost the only man I ever loved. We have been happily married for 53 years.
3. Tell us about a time, circumstance, experience, or decision you made where the saying 'a stitch in time saves nine' proved true.
When I got all the succession papers from the State and was supposed to fill them out, and almost drowned in them! They are so complicated here in Belgium, although I was a very simple case. Then I got myself a notary before I went insane
4. A recipe you make that calls for exactly nine ingredients?
I don't cook anymore and don't remember will not remember any recipe !
5. This coming Friday is Veterans Day in the US of A. Will you mark the day in some way? Are you a veteran? If you live outside the US does your country have a day dedicated to celebrating veterans?
In Europe we don't have Veterans Day, we have a bank holiday to remember the end of the first world war, but not the second, and not in all countries either.
The Germans have no veterans, I think they don't even have a graveyard for soldiers. In any case I never heard of it. It's sad that all the mothers don't even know where their sons died, only because a whole country listened and believed a crazy, sick male who promised heaven on earth. All we got was hell !
6. Insert your own random thought here.
It's difficult to be optimistic, today I wanted to pick up the birthday gift for my grandson, all shops closed there is a general strike. No public transport, the airports are closed and so are the schools. Thank god I don't mind staying alone and keeping myself busy. Not with household stuff, but I like to decorate or turn my photos into art. I've done that too.
I'm also preparing my trip, I'm going with a group from Waterloo to Switzerland for 5 days. A bit of variety is definitely good for me!

I hope that strike doesn't last too long, what a drag.
ReplyDeleteAnd I wish for you a safe and happy trip to Switzerland.
I remember being in the UK when it was US Veterans Day. I think the UK have the same day. It's a bit sad about the lack of German war graves for soldiers. So many were just innocent young men. Switzerland should be wonderful.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous trip to Switzerland, it will be good to get away! Can't wait to see the photos.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy Switzerland.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful trip to Switzerland! Such a beautiful country and one I'd love to see more of one day.
