1. What's something recent that had you 'tickled pink'
(No way to find a translation) but if "tickled pink" means "What has made you particularly happy lately?" Then I'm pleased that I am considered as an exposition sign. When people have worries or troubles, they come to me. Somehow I've found a purpose here. A lot of residents don't dare to say what does not work, they are afraid of the manager. I don't care, manager or king I say what I have to say and am appreciated for that. It feels good to feel useful.
2. A bed of roses, everything's coming up roses, every rose has it's thorn, stop and smell the roses, rose-colored glasses, a rose among thorns...which rosy expression might currently be applied to your life in some way?
None of that. Pink is also a color I don't like; it's a washed-out red. I'm far too realistic to concern myself with romance. The last six years have only shown me the thorns of a rose. The wounds are not yet healed.
3. What makes you feel loved and appreciated ?
The gratitude and love that people show me for what I do for them.
4. A box of chocolates or a bouquet of fresh flowers-what's your pleasure? Any special plans for Valentine's Day?
Unfortunately this day is rather sad for me; my better half sadly passed away, and with him, Valentine's Day too.
Nevertheless, I'm happy that our castle is so beautifully decorated with hearts, even though almost all of us are widows; there aren't many widowers around.
5. Share a favorite quote, scripture, or song lyric relating to love.
6. Insert your own random thought here.
In a way I am happy that we never celebrated Valentine's day. When we married 54 years ago, we didn't know it. Valentine's day didn't exist neither in Italy nor in Germany. And later we always forgot. There were many Valentine's days during the 54 years of marriage which is a good proof.
