Looks like we're in for a nasty spell of wether.
Gracie Goes To Hollywood's - True
The Night They Tried to Close RUMPLATIONS Bar (with JamesLlewellyn)
I'm almost 100% Anglo-Saxon. Blonde hair und dark blue-green eyes most of the year, but they change even darker during the Summer months. Chameleon eyes...giggles
We have abit of brown hair und darker, almost black eyes too from our Polish roots.
We've lived on our farm, about 14km north-east of Wiesbaden, Germany, for almost 300 years.
My family, und most Hessen Germans are direct descendants of two Germanic tribes,
the Angles und Saxons I've found documented from 230 BCE so far.
Not sure of the complete origin as so far back in history ist seemingly impossible to verify,
but I've found evidence of Mycenaean und even earlier Minoan origin for the two original Germanic tribes
migrating from these Mediterranean "Ethnic Groups" spreading Pagan Sun worship, und many other Archetypes to much of Europe.
So that could be kinda cool...If it ist found true und factual?...smiles
Most every European country has a large % of Germanic DNA markers in their populations,
as well the Phonetic spellings of original German languages in their current vocabulary from the original Angles und Saxon Tribes who lived in much of Europe before there were any colonies or countries there.
A most simple example of this ist the English words "IS"..."AND".
These two Phonetic variants originated from the Germanic words "IST"..."UND".
There ist 1,000's of other Phonetic variant words for almost every current European Language having their origins from Germanic language.
Sorry...My Anthropology sometimes feels need to rave...smiles
My surname ist funny to some here I think, but it has changed much over 2,000 years.
So far I've only found changes in Phonological record from Sekewekz ...Siekewicz ...Sienkiewicz ...Sinkiewicz ...Sinkiewisz, und to a current variant now, Simkiewisz.
I quite believe these are not the complete history und origin of Phonetic change though.
I can only wonder in another 2,000 years?...smiles
I live on our farm in my 'very small' cottage that daddy und my brother made for me down here by the lake.
The main Haus ist up atop the hill, so I have much privacy too though.
My brothers Haus sits at the canyon trail on the other side of the track, so all of us live here.
I help train ♞ horses ♞ for many things und events, but mostly Equestrian, und Rodeo, like Steeplechase, Barrel Racing,
und this past year, 2 Trotters for Cage Racing in Saudi Arabia.
So yes I'm extremely proud of my family und our name, our "Ethnic Group", und our home here,
because it ist not simply buildings we inhabit, or the far distance of land we can see,
but ist the strife my ancestors over-came, motivations, passions, loves, character und practice of our moral values,
as well our Fatherland, who we are, our legacy, contribution to "World History" und to humankind,
my heritage, my memories, who I am, where I belong always, und so much more to me...smiles

Granville, Ohio - a little slice of New England in the Mid-West.
I was born and raised in London, and I'm still here. I travelled extensively in my late teens and twenties, but London was always the place I came back to. I love the vibrancy and energy of the city, but I don't think it's a place for older people so I don't think I'll end my days here. As long as I'm still close enough that I can come back and get my ‘fix’ of London from time-to-time, I'll be happy. And visit the shops. I must have shops... 🤣

A South Wales coal mining village, typical of so many in this area but exceptional because of a disaster that occurred in 1966. In Wales we have a word Hiraeth. It translates as a longing especially for ones home. I never lost it. I married and moved away but 10 years ago I escaped the rat race and returned to live in another village 3 miles from mine. All the pits are long gone of course. Now everything is green instead of covered in coal dust and the river runs clear.
In no particular order…

my visits to tw - I've found that to be the case w me - that you can't go back. I do like the food, eating style.
but roots anywhere, no. just an aloof type existence.
Well, I was born in Kitchener, Ontario, moved to London, Ontario for a year for a degree, moved to Hamilton, Ontario for my first career, then back to London which now seems to be my permanent homebase. So I guess London, Ontario but Kitchener is still near and dear (and not far away).
A woman goes shopping in the local mall. But what the heck is she shopping for in that outfit? My Festive Flash comp entry.
