FRIDAY's FAVE FIVE

 

I was locked up all week because we had terrible weather. It rained, which made the farmers happy, but not me!

Luckily, we had our games in the afternoon, at least that was fun. The renovations on our floor were finally finished, and the people could move into their new rooms. We have three new residents.

Because I had lost 11 kg, my jeans were way too large around the waist, and I almost lost them! My new girlfriend had to learn to sew, even though she wanted to be an accountant. But her father, a farmer, thought girls should get married and therefore should learn to sew. Behind his back, she managed to go to evening school and got a job in accounting department for pensions of the government. She skillfully made my jeans tighter and was even happy that I asked her! And I was happy that I didn't swim in my Jeans anymore. 

We finished the week outside on the terrace in a warm sunshine and played a question and answer game which was very funny. The two newcomers were very shy at the beginning and observed us with big eyes because they probably thought that they were in a Kindergarten ! At the end they opened up and were happy that we have such a familiar atmosphere.

 

HODGEPODGE MAY 29

 

Three years ago on May 29, 2022 was the worst day of my life. Rick, my husband left me forever.

 

You were my rock, my confidant, and my best friend. Your memory will always be a source of strength and comfort for me.  Loving you was easy, forgetting you will be impossible. 

 

HODGEPODGE

1. What's your favorite room in your house and why? 

When you live in a castle with I don't know how many rooms all decorated differently, with the furniture of the residents, I prefer mine, I don't have the old furniture from my wedding ! I changed several times the only thing which remained were the dining room furniture, but when we sold the house it disappeared too

 

2. What's something that will instantly annoy you? 

 

When somebody opens my door without knocking before !

3. May 28th is National Hamburger Day...will you celebrate? How do you like yours? If you're not cooking at home is there a favorite place you like to go for a burger? Did you ever work in a fast food  restaurant? 

I only ate a Hamburger or rather a cheeseburger when my son was a child. He and his little friends loved to go to McDonald, I was only with them as piggy bank. Later they went there with their friends or girlfriends. Making a Hamburger at home ? I haven't met one single person in my life who does that. When somebody doesn't like to cook a day, a family member will be sent to buy Hamburgers or Pizzas.  

I never worked in a fast food restaurant or in any other, My father would have gotten a heart attack.

4. What are three scents you like? 

 I love the smell of freshly cut grass, the scent of a forest in spring, and the smell of the sea. I don't like any perfume.

5. What do you miss most about being a kid?

I don't know. Everything I wanted I got. If I think it over,  I don't want to be a child again.

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

Since I am here living in "my" castle, I had never seen the poor people on our 4th floor, who are completely helpless and have lost their minds. They had d to be moved from the 4th floor which will be renovated, to the 3rd. That caused a lot of troubles, because they didn't understand what happened to them. Again one woman managed to escape in the middle of the night and completely naked opened the door of somebody living on my floor ! Fortunately I always lock my door, I think I would have got hysterical !

I only hope that I won't end like that. The worst thing is that only the others notice that you are no longer the same.

You think you are completely normal that at 95, you want to visit your grandmother, who, of course, died ages ago.

And don't say the opposite, then arguments start and ends in tears

WEEKEND

 

 

Saturday we were very creative while outside it was a horrible weather. We created flower bouquets, and had a lot of fun. My creation is in the middle, and is still fresh today. We were all very satisfied and had spent a real nice afternoon. 

On Sunday, finally after 3 years I did my filing ! Isabel came and did it with me for what I was really thankful.  The papers were stacked almost to the ceiling, but it went quite well because I had unconsciously grouped the papers together, so we only had to put them in the different drawers. I don't like files, I have a small cabinet with eight narrow drawers, which I find more practical.

 Afterwards, we played a mimik game with the others, and it was a lot of fun.
