Yesterday, September, I stopped in at ANDREW, and he posted FIVE QUESTION, which he got from HELS.
Are you a native Australian? How many generations of your family were born there? I don't live in Australia. When I was younger, I wanted to migrate to Australia.
I live in America; most of my ancestors came from the Island of Great Britain. Ancestry dot com. Says I'm almost 40% Scottish. Most of them came over in the 1600's. I do have some that my mother's side came off in about. The last ancestor who came to the United States was my third great-grandfather, who arrived in the United States on September 12, 1846. My ancestors colonized the United States. As far as I know, none of my direct ancestors enslaved people. The other 5 break down England-Northwest Europe, Sweden-Denmark, Wales, Germanic Europe, and Norway. The author words a European mutt.
2. If you could have dinner with one historical figure, who would it be and why? That is a hard one since I'm a history buff. Ana Mendieta. I think it would be best to read Goodreads book review on HER
3. What would you consider your greatest accomplishment? I'm still accomplishing daily. I would be showing my horses when I was younger.
4. What is your most treasured possession besides your loved ones? Life itself.
5 Before blogging, what, if any, was your main mode of personal expression? I didn't have any way of self-expression when I was young. I never kept a diary. I was so afraid my dad would find my diary, and he would use it as evidence against me.
Well, we finished up the first coat of primer. Both hubby and I are pleased. One more coat of primer to go on. And the second coat will go on easier.
Took a morning walk. I talked to the neighbor, Bovine. Mr Bovine. And his lady friend with the calves. This afternoon, I went to town. Drop off a sack of things for the thrift store. I looked for a few things, like a door, and saw them at the thrift store.
Looking at the label maker. I also saw them at a thrift store. And the last thing I look for is corrugated flexible plastic. No luck!
Pick up my inter-library loan book from the local library. John Adams Papers, 1755 to 1733
Got a cookie from Under the Sun. Then, I went to therapy. On the way home, I stopped at the store and got a few things.
Had ham sandwich for dinner.
hoI have been working on embroidery quilt block for about an hour each day a week. I don't know if you can see the progress I made this week.
I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow and won't be posting. Will be back on Saturday.
Your choice of a dinner companion is interesting. I've not heard of her but she does sound like someone who would be good to chat to.

ReplyDeleteWell nowdays I think you have lots of ways to express yourself!
ReplyDeleteWe have a couple of things in common - I also wanted to immigrate to Australia when I was young, and I have no idea what even gave me that idea. And, I am also European in ancestry, but my ancestral families (both on mothers and fathers side) didn't arrive in this country until the early 20th century. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com
