1. Summer's here! In the northern hemisphere anyway. If you're in the southern hemisphere substitute winter for the word summer. What do you love most about summer? What's your biggest summer pet peeve?
Yes summer is here ! As usual or to hot or to cold. This time we have a heatwave which has never happened before. To much is to much that's my biggest summer pet peeve. But a nice temperature and a blue sky that's what I love.
2. What song always reminds you of summer?
I have no special song for summer, I like the same music in all other seasons too.
3. What's something you remember about your childhood summers? Do you think kids today get to enjoy summer the way you did as a child? Elaborate.
I spent my summers with my grandparents who lived in the countryside, near a small town. We played outside all day, jumping from hay barns into the hay, and had a great time. Luckily, our son had the same childhood as my husband and I, because when we moved to Waterloo, it was a small village with many farms, fields, and cows. The farmer who owned the field behind our garden let the children sit on the machines that baled the hay. my son, too, was outside all day. Today, that's no longer possible, since the Belgian child murderer Dutroux brutally abused and then killed four little girls. After that, parents were afraid to let their children go out alone.
4. We celebrate Fathers Day on June 21st. Do you favor your dad in looks or temperament? Tell us something about your dad. Or your husband as a dad. Or a son/son-in-law as a dad. Or your grandpa.
We have never celebrated father's day. My grandma always said, "it's father's day the whole year long" It didn't exist either when I was a child I loved my grandpa very much, he told me so much about nature, took me in the woods at 4 am to watch The deer, stags, or even wild boars.

That impressed me greatly. He also carved me little flutes out of willow wood. He was a real grandpa!
I can't say much good about my father. I was like a Barbie doll for him to show off around, and when I was older, he even faked discretely that I was his girlfriend, because I was a rather pretty girl. My poor mother was the victim of his moods. He could be very bitchy and hurtful. For the outside world, he was such a charming and nice gentleman; no one could imagine what a distasteful person he was. Except our neighbor, who was my mother's friend. He wasn't violent, it was worse; he found words that hurt her deeply, and I saw her crying very often. She was, so to speak, his doormat, but she loved him. With me he never dared, when I was little I had my grandma behind me, and when I was older I also had a sharp tongue !
I learned very early to protect her from my father's spiteful words. That made me very distrustful of men, and I told them all to get lost, not very politely, until I finally met the love of my life. We were both 24 and 26 then. When he became a father, I was so surprised and amazed, he was so loving and caring father, and also playful I had never seen that.

5. Let's wrap up with a summer this or that-
- flip flops or sandals
- beach or pool
- watermelon or peaches
- shorts or sundress
- iced coffee or ice cold lemonade
- amusement park or water park
I prefer sandals, flip flops hurt me between the toes.
Beach of course, pool only when no beach is available
carved Watermelon
Watermelon ! I could eat alone a big one !
I think I look better in a sun dress at my age
Only if there is nothing else, I would drink iced coffee
Neither of those, that's something for kids or teenagers and devoted grandmothers. When I was younger I loved water parks
