2. What's the boldest piece of clothing in your wardrobe?
Umm have you seen photos of me, actually probably not as I don't enjoy having my picture taken, but you would note that my wardrobe is pretty conservative. I'm not sure that there is anything in my wardrobe that fits the description "bold"!
3. Do you think common interests or common values are the key to people getting along? Elaborate.
I think common values are more important. If you don't agree on the fundamentals it's hard to find middle ground. Whereas I think it's healthy to have some common interests but also different ones, especially when you're both retired and spend a lot of time together.
4. November 6 is National Nacho Day...do you like nachos? How do you like yours? Do you make them at home or only order out?
Not a big fan. Definitely don't make them at home.
5. Have you spent any time in Washington D.C.? If so what did you think? If not, is that a place you'd like to visit? What do you think about politics as a career choice?
Yes we spent a few days in Washington DC after my son's wedding in Vermont in 2014. We did the touristy things but we liked it.
Unfortunately I think there are 2 kinds of politicians. Those that actually want to represent the people of their local area and try to make a difference. And if they manage to make their way up the ladder all well and good. And then there are those who like the idea of power. I'm glad that none of my kids have made it a career choice but if they decided to in the future I'd back them all the way.
6. Insert your own random thought here.
I'm preparing this on Tuesday evening to a background noise of fireworks. It turned colder today so I'm glad I'm not out watching a display. Even on my walk to the library in the later part of the afternoon I felt I needed a hat on as my head felt cold! And now the clocks have gone back it gets dark so early. Time to snuggle up under a blanket with a good book I think.
The first question was s thought provoking one and your answer hit the nail on the head. How fortunate are we to have a constant supply of fresh water.
ReplyDeleteDoes your area do a bonfire on the 5th? I remember lots of fireworks on that night. Our clocks went back last weekend and we're in the dark early here now too. I don't mind it up until Christmas as it feels sort of cozy. But once the new year rolls in I'm ready for spring : )
ReplyDeleteI do not like the time changes. Makes no sense but who am I? I am happy to find someone who also doesn't like nachos!! I agree with you on the importance of shared values! Have a great day, Wendy!
ReplyDeleteHi Wendy, our clocks changed last weekend. I would like the clocks to just stick with Daylight Savings or Standard Time... so tired of the changing, makes no sense to me.
ReplyDeleteI am ready to get cozy too, we have cold rain falling today.

I don’t own anything that would be considered bold or exciting. The last outfit I bought was for my son’s wedding in 2020. I was never totally in love with the dress. It had sparkles that ended up on anyone I hugged or touched, in my bra on my skin. I had a heck of a time getting that glitter off. Now it sits in my closet. No Im pretty basic. Comfort is number one for me now.
ReplyDeleteI think you're right about the two basic types of politicians. Probably most of them start out with high hopes of helping people and making a difference, but power and having to "play the game" gets an awful lot of them distracted or worse. Hope you're having a great week!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your answers.
