Here are my answers to this week’s Share your world by Cee

If you could hire someone to help you, would it be with cleaning, cooking, or yard work?

Having someone in twice weekly to help with housework is a privilege I enjoy.  We also have someone in to help with garden work but that’s more on an ad hoc basis.  A full time chef would be great – oh wait – I have one – He’s my husband!

If you were to move and your home came fully furnished with everything you ever wanted, list at least three things from your old house you wish to retain?

If my new house had everything I ever wanted there would be no need to take anything from my current home.   I love where I live now but it is simply  furnished and functional.  We have downsized from what we had before retirement.  My treasures are things like books, diaries, photo albums and electronic devices.  Those I would take with me.

What calms you down?

Going for a walk works.   Doing a sudoku or a crossword puzzle also relaxes me.

What inspired you or what did you appreciate this past week?  Feel free to use a quote, a photo, a story, or even a combination. 

Right now we’re staying with our rural kids and  I am appreciating the country lifestyle.    We’re in a gloriously beautiful part of KwaZulu Natal.  At this time of the year everything is green and lush.   The people are friendly and the pace of life is as peaceful as the surrounding.
