1. Is your home air conditioned? If it’s not air conditioned, is that by choice? Did you grow up with air conditioning? If not how did you cope with the heat? Share about a time or place you remember as being too hot-the temperature kind of hot, lest anyone be confused.
Yes, my home is air conditioned. We really need it, as our house is out in the open, with very little shade. Since joining the menopausal set, I simply hate to be hot!
My one memory of being too hot occurred a few years ago. I was on my way home from Germany, when I had to transit Charles De Gaulle Airport. It was in early June, and the hottest day of the year there, with no air conditioning, and no ventilation!
As I walked from one gate to the next, the area seemed to sizzle and I felt so light headed, I thought I would faint! Then the thought hit me…I was alone, in a country where I did not speak the language, and so I had better just get over it and get to the gate. Resolutely, I walked, and as I passed a small stand, I purchased a large water, and proceeded to both drink it, and splash my face with it! And yes, I did survive! LOL
2. What’s something in your life right now that falls under the heading ‘up in the air’?
I go on Friday to see a hand surgeon. I have a tricky, trigger finger, that has reached the discomfort level, so I am considering surgery. We shall see.
3. Your favorite light and airy dessert?
Angel food cake with whipped cream and strawberries!
4. When did you last feel like you were ‘floating on air’?
Been a while, but perhaps at Savannah’s Birthday party. Almost every time I spend time with Savannah I feel I am on Cloud 9 and thank my lucky stars that I am her Oma!
5. Airport, airmail, airtight, airhead…which have you most recently encountered? Explain.
Oh gosh, right this very second, Hubby was trying to speak to a Phamacist at the VA to ask a question about his medications and as Hubby had him on the speaker phone I was listening. Right in the middle of Hubby’s questions, the phone went dead! Airhead indeed!
6. Have you ever been to the Alps? If so where did you go? If not, is this a destination on your must-see list? If you were headed that direction this summer, which of the following would be your preferred activity…a gentle walk, a serious walk, a bike ride, a boat ride around one of the lakes, or summer snow skiing?
I have flown over the Alps, and also visited them. I have done all of the above. As well as shopped! My most favorite activity!!! We once took a trolly up to the top of the Üetliberg and then made the mistake of hiking down in heels! Yeah, the toes were all torn up as well as my pantyhose! I never made that mistake again!
7. What is one saying or phrase that was considered ‘cool’ when you were growing up?
Oh I don’t know. Using the word, “man” or “cool” or something along those lines.
8. Insert your own random thought here.
Off to babysit this weekend! I can hardly wait!!!
Crossing my fingers (no pun intended) and hoping that you’ll get those finger problems sorted out.
