Share Your World – March 5, 2018

What did you or did not like about the first place you lived without your parents?

The first place I lived in without my parents was the first apartment I had with my new husband when I was 20 years old.  I moved from Mom and Dad to husband, no time on my own.  This apartment was horrible!  Cockroaches everywhere, so many I lost count and didn’t even want to sleep in the place.  We finally got rid of them but maybe it was indicative of the “roach” I married. 😉

What is your most favorite smell/scent?

One of the first gifts ever given me was a perfume called “Bellodgia”. It was given to me by a sailor during Vietnam and I kept that little bottle forever.  I finally found the perfume again while I was in Paris and bought another bottle.  I think that is my favorite fragrance.

Would you prefer snowy winters, or not, and why?

I do not prefer snowy winters.  For one, I like the sun, the heat and getting outside.  Snow and cold don’t agree with me.  It hurts my breathing,  I get sick and the cold literally hurts my body.  Fortunately, Colorado is not as cold and snowy as most people would think and I can tolerate the winters here.

What did you appreciate or what made you smile this past week? 

I saw Trevor Noah for my birthday on Saturday.  It was the most that I have smiled and laughed in years.  Although he is a political satirist and on the Daily Show, he found humor in his life, his childhood, his mother, music and just the observation of people in general.  I would say if you ever get the chance to see him, it is well worth the money and time.
