Monday Quiz - A chance to play along with #MQAM
Welcome to Monday Quiz About Me - hosted by Heather & Wayne from Acting Balanced.
We are continuing to answer questions together.
Here are FOUR QUESTIONS that
everyone can answer and then you have the option to add a fifth question of
your own for those who are visiting your blog, to answer in the comment
section, along with commenting on the four standard questions you answered!
1. March 10th is Middle
Name Pride Day - are you proud of your middle name? What is it and is
there a story behind it? My middle name is Lee. I
never thought about whether I should be proud of it, or not. I don't use it,
but rather only use the initial L. My maternal great -grandmother was
Verda Lee, and I got my middle name from her.
2. What makes you happy? Oh, so many things make me happy!! Family, family, family, and
friends and all that goes with them. My job, my church, my faith. Life.
3. What do you consider to be 'middle
age'? I'm 62. I think I'm on
the upside of middle age, but seriously still think of myself in my 30s.
4. What is your fondest memory of your grandparents? I can't
honestly say I have just one fond memory of my grandparents. My dad's folks,
including my Granny (see last week's blogs about her) were wonderful. My mom's
folks were divorced when she was 11 years old, so I grew up with a
step-grandma, who is still living, and a step-grandpa who was an amazing
carpenter, plumber & electrician. When he died, Grandma later married
another wonderful man, Grandpa John, who had a great sense of humor. So
many fond memories, all centered on family reunions and holidays!
I don't have a question for
you all, but will be happy to read your answers to one or more of the other
four questions above!! Wishing you a good week!

It is so interesting to get to know our friends more. Each one is different and that makes it even more special. Hope your Monday is a great day my friend.
ReplyDeleteI love the dancing cartoon. Made me smile :) Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteOkay... I hate the term middle age. It sounds like a No Man's Land. I would rather be a senior than that! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI love my middle name!

I like reading your entries and can certainly identify with # 2 and 3.
ReplyDeleteFor me it the little things and acts of kindness that make me the happiest. Logically I haven't won millions on the lottery (LOL).
ReplyDeleteThe little cartoon is so cute....made me smile!!!!
ReplyDeleteI just loved the questions and answers. Thanks for sharing. Blessings (ps I love The name Verda)
ReplyDeleteYou always give such focused and concise answers. I'll bet you're a fantastic accountant. It is fun getting to know all my blogging buddies more.
ReplyDeleteLike you, I'm not "proud" of my name but not ashamed either. It's Dawn. I don't know where it came from since the people who raised me either died young and the rest where dysfuntional. I have no idea where my adopted family are and don't care.
My happiest memory of Grandma Mum Mum (dad's mother) is her teaching me to crochet. She also took me to the Lutheran Church down the road. She was a very fine person. Everyone loved Mum Mum. ~:)
I don't have a middle name. My real name is Maribeth, but I am usually called Mari (Mary).
ReplyDeleteAll of my grandparents but one had passed away by the time I was 4. My surviving Grandpa used to take us on motorcycle rides. Scared my mom, but we had fun!
I just love love love the happiness joke - off to the mirror.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy reading your Monday quiz questions and answers. I have been thinking about doing a blog about my names. My middle name also came from one of my grandmothers. Hugs
