Share Your World – Week 38

It is time again to join Cee in sharing our worlds.

1. What is most memorable about your high school years? We are now digging into ancient history! I have bits and pieces of memories about my high school years, nothing really life-changing though. I think perhaps what I remember the most about those years is the moving from one place to another, the starting all over in new schools, making new friends. I tended to connect most readily with those who were “outcasts” – not in the “popular” groups.

2. What was the last URL that you bookmarked? Nothing fun at all! We just changed insurance companies, so the very last URL I bookmarked was for the new company so I could set up payment for premiums online. Boring, huh?

3. Name one thing not many people know about you. Gosh, I’m not sure I haven’t already told the world everything about me. Maybe that when I was growing up, I wanted to be an airline stewardess. Then I got too tall. I became a secretary – that’s what most girls did in those days, because what was expected was that we would work for awhile, then get married, have babies and live happily ever after. Life is full of fairy tales like that. I am now living happily ever after, but it sure didn’t come that easily! I remember applying for a job with the telephone company, but I had just gotten married and they wouldn’t hire me because, they said, I would probably get pregnant right away. Ah yes, being female in them there good ole days!

4. What physical attribute do you like about yourself? Can be anywhere from beauty to heart to physical strength. I guess my eyes. I also like that I’m tall, although I have lost some of that height. I wanted to say that my favorite attribute about me is that I think I’m fair, that I try to see clearly both sides of a situation, but I don’t think that’s physical, so I won’t say that.

Today, I’ll share a few pictures taken yesterday evening when I was attempting to capture a photo of a couple of bees that were working very vigorously around a few blooms – the blooms came out just fine, the bees, not so much. They wouldn’t sit still, and I have much to learn about macro photos.
