How would you describe yourself to someone who can’t see you?

I am a huge animal lover who is concerned about climate change, mental health, helping others and enjoying life. How I look doesn’t matter, that’s the last thing I want someone to remember. I’m a whole person and it’s important to show who I am on the inside.

What traditions have you not kept that your parents had?

We eat in the living room vs the dining table most of the time. Our recliners have desk attached we can eat on it.

Long gone are the days of cooking every possible item for the holidays.

Only cooking on Thanksgiving and Christmas. The eve’s are spent eating a meal that includes, hard meats, several cheeses, olives, crackers and deserts of course. It’s a simple way to have a special meal without cooking.

Eating at 5:00 PM everyday.

Wordless Wednesday-Large Rosemary Plant

I’m glad you joined me on Wordless Wednesday and I hope to see you soon.

How this plant survived winter outside is beyond me. I’m adjusting to new eyeglasses and the photo looks slightly burry. I apologize if my eyes were off.

If you won two free plane tickets, where would you go?

For me to travel to Jordan, the conflict in the Middle East would have to change dramatically. I’ve wanted to see Jordan since I saw a feature on the Travel Channel. The awe-inspiring Petra, Dead Sea salt baths and the people are so inviting. They are so generous by taken in so many refugee’s.

The list of places and countries to travel to is long but with planes falling out of the sky every day, I’m not flying.

St. Petersburg, Russia

What a great view out of my hotel window.
