HODGEPODGE JULY 22

 1. Do your goals and dreams energize or exhaust you? Elaborate. 

They energize me, without them my life would be so dull ! I have always been an adventurous girl ! 

2. July 23rd is national lemon day. Are you a fan of this flavor? What's a favorite dish or beverage you enjoy that calls for lemons? 

I have no special love for lemons, sometimes a lemon slice is refreshing, but it is not one of my favorite fruit. 

3. "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade"...is this something you're pretty good at managing? Have you had to do this recently? If so tell us about it. 

That's a drink which would never come into my mind !  

4. Something you love that is lemon yellow in color? 

I looked around me in my room and didn't find anything in lemon yellow, I have a lot of red or orange but lemon yellow is such a cold color so that I only like it in flowers. 

5. How would you describe your attention to detail?

Details don't matter to me at all. The most important is that the result looks beautiful and perfect. 

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

My son is now for a week at the Garda Lake where Rick was born and spent his childhood. When I saw these beautiful photos, I was a bit sad, knowing I would never see this beautiful lake again. But I comforted myself with the thought that, without Rick, the lake probably wouldn't have seemed as beautiful to me. In any case, my grandson Toby has the same big appetite as his Dad, when he was the same age,  back then, when the three of us were there.

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY

The Netherlands are famous for its bicycles. I took the first few photos in my son's garage, and the last one in a bicycle parking ! There are bicycles  I haven't seen in any other country, some people transport almost their entire family on a single bike.

WEEKEND 

From one day to the other the temperature dropped by half ! No wonder that lot of people caught a cold, me included although I was very careful. If the day before it was so hot that it was impossible to sit on the terrace, the next day it was impossible because it was to cold !

I played again a little bit on my computer and then joined the others for the activity and the coffee afterwards.

I have never sat on a horse, but thanks to AI I learned it very quickly.

Rosie has gained a bit of weight

On Sunday the temperature raised a bit but still to cool to sit outside. Our A/C "specialists" had left the A/C on and the restaurant was a fridge. I asked which genius had turned on the air conditioning when it was 18°C ​​outside.

 

I explained for the X time that the thing is designed to cool the room down, so you don't need it when it's already cold. I think it's hopeless; I'm going to let the director know that people simply don't understand how it works

 

There weren't many people there, so we just chatted together; there were quite a few guests present, too.

and to end the day I got this photo from my grandson who just enjoyed a "little" portion of Spaghettis !

 

and a picture from the Garda Lake (Italy) taken from high in the mountains ! He too loves his Nonno's (Grandpa) Lake !
