Karin Jansky, suffering because of some kind of quarrel between Blogger and WordPress, sent along her comment by private email:
Hooded eyes??? Oh Judith, I have them as well and hated them throughout my whole life! They get even worse now “by the day”. Inherited from mother and grandmother! But as things stand at the moment I’m rather content as long as I don’t discover too many other physical inheritances (: – –
Jealousy? No, not really, just too exhausting and a waste of energy. But I have to admit that I can be envious.
It is interesting to realize what we inherit….and what not!
My grandmother used to say that she likes the evenings, in her words when she already reached the age of 92: “there is nothing really special going on in the morning, life is much more interesting in the evening”! So, I’m a kind of evening person while my mother was a real morning person!
My mother was a patient person – I’m somewhat impatient.
All members of my family are rather small, except my brother and me, we are the only tall ones, having our Great Grandfather’s “Statur”/body size.
All the woman of my family survived their husbands.
Here we are…..
Your post brings me back to my family history, brings back all good memories and happy moments we had together. Thank you for this, Judith!
Now, I’ll going into myself to ‘dig up’ all the positive inheritances!
