1. Next Sunday is Grandparent's Day. Share a favorite memory, photo, recipe, or something you learned from a grandparent.
My grandma was the most important person in my life. I stayed with my grandparents from my birth on until I was 6. Then with my parents. I have been told (when I was adult) that my mother was afraid of babies ! This fact was probably my luck, that I am today how I am.
I am for the for equal rights, and that I should never be afraid of a man; I should just imagine him naked. That made me laugh. She was a woman born in 1894, and as soon as she could, she became independent and became the governess of a castle, like the one who directed the staff at Downtown Abbey I forgot his name. I spent many school holidays with my grandparents, my parents preferred to travel as a couple. We don't celebrate grandparents here in Belgium.
2. What's a quote from a book (besides The Bible) that has stayed with you?
I don't remember any quote from a book. I like the quote in my sidebar
3. What's your number one food pet peeve?
4. What's one thing about you that is still the same as it was when you were young?
I still say what's on my mind, unless, of course, it's about someone's appearance. Can't say to a fat person that she or he is fat. When I was a kid, I sometimes had problems with that because nobody likes to hear the truth!
5. September is National Preparedness Month...does your family have an emergency plan? Do you have some sort of preparedness kit you keep on hand? If so, tell us one thing that's kept there.
We have never thought of this and I now, don't think about it either. Some people tell me to at least prepare a bag with a nightgown, a toothbrush and some underwear, I think they are right but so far it is only in my mind.
6. Insert your own random thought here.
I think autumn and then winter are coming soon, and I'm afraid I'll get my seasonal depression. I hope not. Last year, it was so-so, but the year before that was bad.
I'm also worried about my cat Rosie, she sleeps all day and night, too. She doesn't play anymore and only eats her dry food, even though I also give her wet food. But her coat is still nice and shiny, she washes herself, and so far, she's been eating well. What's new is that she no longer takes me as her racetrack, she just checks three or four times during the night to see if I'm still there by washing my nose. According to Google, she's completely normal, after all, she's 19 and I don't want to stress her by taking her to the vet, if not absolutely necessary.
Hopefully she'll stay a little longer with me, otherwise our family will be just the two of us, my son and me.
