Wednesday by the sea: Yesterday was very windy. I am a great fan of windy, blustery days in autumn and winter but not so much in spring and summer the reason being I can wear a hat, scarf and a coat to hold myself together in the colder months but in summer everything flies off and gets discombobulated and I just don't care much for that. But in Autumn and Winter I love the sound of wind barging it's way through the woods behind me. I like when the bay is whipped up into a frenzy by the wind.
Blogger tip: If your background repeats over and over and you'd like it to fill the page, hit the scroll or don't scroll to make it fit your page properly. Its in the same area that uploads your background. If you have color beside your header that you don't want, it is possible to also change the background color.
I am joining in with Wednesday Hodgepodge....
1. What was your after school routine like when you were a kid? After school in Kindergarten when I was doing afternoon session, I went home to my grandmother who had tea ready. We would sit at the kitchen table and eat our meal together. It was so special to me.
After she passed, my other grandmother came to care for me. Then I would come home and have tea with her, then watch some cartoons or go outside and play with friends until time for supper. I always had my dance classes and Brownies or Girl Scouts from Brownie to curved bar.
As a teen I had so many after school projects, sports and newspaper, radio station, singing lessons one day and 2 days of dance class. I was busy, busy and I loved it. Those were the best days of my life.
2. January 26 is National Green Juice Day ( I guess it's true everything really does have it's day). Do you juice, as in make your own in an attempt to get healthy? Do you do the green juices? What's your favorite kind of juice (home blended or store bought, either one)?
I made juices but realized quickly it was a waste of food. I used to love grape juice but I can't have grapes anymore.
3. What's something trivial about which you have a strong opinion? Well, if I have a strong opinion then it's not trivial. At least not to me i t isn't.
4. What do you need more of in your life? Less of? I need more food in my life. I feel my menu has gotten too small and I want to enlarge it. As far as less, I guess that would be requirements. I don't want to be required to do anything at all. Nothing, zilch. Of course that is silly but, you did ask me and it's an honest answer.
5. Give us three adjectives to describe your January. The adjectives to describe my January would be icy, silvery, snowy, frozen, beautiful, nature filled, enjoyable, but pain filled as well.
6. Insert your own random thought here.
How lovely that you got to spend that time with your grandmothers and all of the after school activities sound like fun.
ReplyDeleteTea with a grandmother sounds like a lovely childhood memory. I am with you on the juicing. It's a lot of fuss for a glass of juice. Have a nice day!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you on #3, if I feel strongly about something I don't consider it trivial. I enjoyed your precious memories with your grandmothers. Very nice indeed.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your answers. I'm always looking for new recipes too.
ReplyDeleteYour childhood after school memories made me smile. It sounds like you had lovely grandmothers.
ReplyDeleteI would have given anything when I was a child to have had my grandparents nearby, Annie. What special memories for you! Blessings!
ReplyDeleteLovely header and interesting topic .
ReplyDeleteTea with my grandmother was a joy , when my grandparents moved close to us , after retirement . She was a bicycle ride away and tea was served in delicate cups with a tiny ivy design . She was a wise and wonderful woman...sorely missed !
