1. When the Hodgepodge lands on September 11th I want to acknowledge that. Will you purposely pause to remember, pray, or attend any sort of ceremony on 9/11? Share any thoughts or memories you'd like to share about this day.
Some people in Europe will certainly remember this day, because they lost a relative, a friend or a work colleague who have been killed. Of course it was mentioned in all Newspapers and TV.
2. Growing up, did you spend a lot of time with your grandparents? What's something you learned from a grandparent?
I have learned everything for life from my maternal grandma because she brought me up until I was 6 years old. Later I didn't see her very often because she lived 600 km away, as an adult I hadn't any contact with my paternal grandparents, they had died.
3. What's your go-to breakfast?
For about 51 years I only had a cup of coffee, when I had to eat something I now have "Müsli" which consists of oat flakes and dried fruits. I also add a fresh kiwi.
4. Tell us the story behind one of your favorite photos.
I have so many photos at least 7 or 8 thousand if not more, from family and travels but also from participating in photography international groups.

This collage is my favorite, it represents my husband all over the 54 years we were married, and then he passed away
5. This week Friday lands on the 13th. Are you superstitious in any way? Do you like scary movies, and if so what's your favorite ?

I am not at all superstitious, I would play in a casino and hope to win, I lived for 20 years with a black cat and I always walk through a ladder. I love crime stories but with a touch of humor.
6. Insert your own random thought here.
I think why do I still see through a veil and sometimes feel
dizzy. Tonight I finally found the reason, it's a sleeping pill that the
doctor prescribed to me and that my body doesn't want. It doesn't like
medication at all ! I then asked my doctor not to prescribe me new things, I just don't support them. That's already the second medication. I lived so far for 81 years and intend to add some years more !
Look at your husband as a young man...so handsome : ) I'm glad you have lovely photos from your travels and life to help with remembering him. If you can sleep without a pill I'd definitely opt for that.
ReplyDeleteYour breakfast looks delicious. Yeah, I am not superstitious. I will deliberately walk under a ladder! or look through a cracked mirror to mess with those who are. I really like crime movies and sometimes wish I had been a Detective.
ReplyDeleteI start my day with muesli and fresh fruit as well. When my mum went into a home they didn't expect her to live more than a couple of weeks. The home decided with my permission to stop all her medication which she hated taking. Mum went on to live another 7 years there enjoying her new life.
ReplyDeleteBreakfast looks great especially when fixed and served by someone else. I hope they make good coffee too!
