Dogs – a stuffed one named Puddles who lives with one of the grandgirls now.

Favorite color – any shade of purple
Gold or silver – still love my gold rings and a few necklaces
Height –5’8” in my youth but have probably shrunk by now!

Job title – Volunteer Services Manager/Recreation Attendant for 20 yrs.; then Manager of two independent housing apartments and Homecare Coordinator of both; then retired and now Pastoral Care Assistant – all for the same organization.
Kids – Two daughters, one son, two sons-in-law, one daughter-in-law and 9 grands!!
Live – in Canada after moving here from the old country – Germany - in the last century - ’54 to be exact!
Mom’s name – Erna. Hey, what about dad’s name? Heinrich
Nickname – don’t have one – oh, unless I can use what hubby calls me – HONEY!
Overnight hospital stays – Gallbladder surgery; three maternity stays; one miscarriage stay; knee surgery; heart arrhythmia.
Pet peeve – people who complain ALL the time!
Quote from a movie – "There’s no place like home!”
Right or left-handed – Right
Siblings – I have a younger brother and a younger sister. Though they will always be younger than me, they are much older now than they used to be. Laughing out loud – my silliness is leaking through!
Time you wake up – more often than not I awake at 5:55 – I kid you not!
Underwear – Always cotton and boring white or boring black!
Vegetable you dislike – just can’t think of one – possibly gumbo!
What makes you run late – It would be highly unusual for either one of us to ever be late. I know that it is fashionable, but I feel it is not respectful of the other person’s time. So, if I’m late start worrying and send a search party!
X-rays you have had done – chest, abdominal, ankle, back. Maybe I should have had my head examined too!
Yummy food you make – Beef Rouladen – my family’s fav!
Zoo animal – Last time I was in a zoo the kids were youngsters! I do love watching all animal shows on National Geographic – does that count?

Ich wuensche Dir und Deiner Familie noch ein schoenes Wochenende und vieles schoenes Wetter ;-) es ist sehr windig heute, aber ich liebe es weil da die Muecken nicht so arg beissen ;-)
Bis bald,
Doris
This was fun!
That was an interesting list. And I admire your willingness to "put it all out there". That just isn't something I do much of.
But I must admit, I actually enjoy ironing. I find it relaxing. Go figure. ..Marsha
ME TOO! Unless I'm the one doing the complaining :-)
don't have to list your WEIGHT!
Enjoyed!

Now I think I know you well.
You are clever to self teach the musical instruments, which I am useless.
So you are a bereaved mum too.
