HODGEPODGE JUNE 11

1.  How would you define 'the good life'?

The one I had as a young girl and woman, then together with my husband, then as a family, a retired couple and now a new life (not so good) as widow. 

2.  What's the most used app on your phone (and are you proud of that)? 

I think that's Whatsapp, I mostly use my phone as a phone, and camera. But I am not proud, I find it normal. Besides that I always say that my whole life is in my phone !

3. 'Every rose has it's thorn', 'everything's coming up roses', 'looking through rose-colored glasses', 'it's no bed of roses' or 'stop and smell the roses'...which rose idiom best relates to something in your life currently. Explain. 

Currently I would say "Every rose has it's thorn". The time I looked through rose colored glasses is long gone, that's for Teenagers. I never had to sleep on a bed of roses and I am not patient enough to stop and smell at roses.

4. How do you feel about floral flavorings in food or drink (rose, hibiscus, elderflower, lavender)? 

If it is only flavor I hate it and I wouldn't eat or drink it, except hibiscus tea. 

5. Over the course of your life what have you probably spent more time pondering than anything else? 

I never pondered about anything. I'm very spontaneous; I would jump into the water and only then ask myself if I can swim or not (of course I can). Even choosing the man of my life was spontaneous. We saw each other for the first time and then stayed together for 55 years, 54 of them officially married.

 

 

 

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

 

I am still busy with the AI, and "bought" my new ball robe. My grandson asked me if I give them treats at least !
