HODGEPODGE APRIL 16

1. Big week in the US of A...do you do your own taxes? What's something you've found 'taxing' lately? 

No, since I am living in my castle, it's done automatically by computer. I get a copy, but as a widow there is no surprise.

2. When it comes to travel are you a last minute packer or a lay it all out a week in advance type? Do you struggle to pack light? Share a packing tip that has worked for you.  

Since I traveled a lot, I was well organized. I had a list with everything I needed, and packed my suitcase one day before, let it open in case I wanted to add something and that was it. 

3. April is National Grilled Cheese Month. Hmmm...who knew it got its own month? Do you like a grilled cheese sandwich? What ingredient do you add to take yours to the next level?  I did not know that April is the national grilled cheese month. Anyway for me it could be a cheese year, I love cheese, grilled or not, on a sandwich, with fruits, in a salad on a plate, as a fondue, as a raclette, every cheese is welcome !

4. There's a well known quote that says-

'A ship in the harbor is safe, but that's not what ships are built for." John A. Shedd  

Is constant growth necessary or do you think it's more important to prioritize stability and peace in your life? 

Now that I belong to the antiques, I suppose I must prioritize stability and peace in my life, but I have always been quite adventurous and would jump into the water even when I didn't know if I could swim. For me, it was always action first and thinking later. Luckily, nothing ever happened to me, quite the opposite

  • daffodils or tulips  tulips
  • lemonade or iced tea iced tea
  • gardening or hiking hate both
  • ladybugs or butterflies like both
  • umbrella or raincoat   raincoat
  • floral patterns or polka dots polka dots 
  • 6. Insert your own random thought here.  

    It's sunshine outside so I will spent the whole afternoon in our park I have nothing special to think about only that for the moment I feel well.
