Friendly Chat
Welcome to Toni Taddeo's Tuesday 4. With just four questions each week we hope to change the world!
Well, okay, we can't change the world but we do hope to help you have something to blog about, think about and talk about. I hope everyone in Florida is okay with the storm Debby! Be safe friends.
So, let's take our tea or coffee and sit down together and have a friendly chat about life........

| "So Dora.. how's life lately?" |
1. If you were or are married, did or do you enjoy being married? If you are not married are you content and happy in that life?I have been married to my sweetheart fore 52 years. We are very content. He comforted me by staying with me at my Moh’s surgery appt this mornin. No one else had a significant other with them!
2. What are the best parts of your life today? What were the best things about your life in the past? The best part of today was as I said having Lynn with me and only having to cut to the clear margins once. Thank you, Lord, In my part life I so enjoyed my parents growing up, the many trips we took to be with extended families on both sides! We were so blessed to adopt Amanda and her family ( husband and children) complete our family beautifully. )
3. What more could you add to your life to make it better, or conversely, what could you remove to make it better for you? As much as I love our beautiful home of 48 years, at my age now, I would love to be living on one floor.. a patio home would be lovely, but I cannot convince hubby!
4. If you work... are you really pleased in your job or would you like something better? If you are retired is it all you hoped it would be and how could it be better for you? I taught school for thirty years and really enjoyed it. That said I was thrilled to retire at age 53. I loved having our home to myself for 9 years before hubby retired. But now I love being home together. We enjoy taking day trips ever so often.
I have seen your pictures of your home and it is so nice. We left our 2 story we liked to move to a single story. Once we retired, we wanted a smaller, single story home. We have a bigger yard, but hubby has a gardener. I might get a housekeeper in the near future to do things that are getting hard to do. I am blessed that my hubby likes to cook! I agree, thank you Lord!
ReplyDeleteAlthough our home is a single story (manufactured home), we have to climb about 6 steps to get inside, and even that is difficult with groceries, etc.. We love our home and location, but we talk about finding something someday that is flat on the ground with no steps. But I hate the thought of moving again, so I don't know if I could do it. I enjoyed your post, and yes being retired with your honey with you is a true blessing.
ReplyDeleteI hear you on the smaller home..I'm not to that point yet, but I see value in smaller with less upkeep. I joke with my husband that when we retire he's going to need a hobby because I'm going to need my alone time
