Who are your favorite people to be around?

For me the people that bring me the most joy are the people that are kind. I consider myself a kind person.

Hence, I like kind people because they tend to be honest & are not trying to hurt others or cause harm.

I’m not a fan of Jekyll & Hyde personalities. Or people that hurt & humiliate others in public. I don’t trust people that go through others belongings without permission & find that incredibly violating.

I’m a huge fan of honest & kind people that do the utmost to help others either through volunteering or in a public setting. Either through being kind or who go out of their way to find a solution to a problem. What kind of people do you like?

Tell us about your favorite pair of shoes, and where they’ve taken you.

My favorite shoes are Blundstones, they were made in Tasmania in Australia but are now made in Vietnam. They are slip on boots, with tags you use to pull them on.

I’ve worn them for over 10 years & have worn them all over the world. I have several pairs in many different colors.

I’m surprised I didn’t wear them when I got married! Anyway, I have lived in rainy cities for over 20 years so they are like “slippers” for crappy weather.

My favorite pair was last year’s Christmas present, a pair of brown boots. I’d recommend them to anyone who lives in a rainy or snowy city.

What’s your favorite candy?

I’m a huge fan of TimTams from Australia. They’re not very sweet & taste great while being a good snack.

I ate them while we drove across Australia nearly a decade ago.

I think my other favorite candy is the quintessential  Norwegian candy Laban. They’re colorful & tasty & gummy.
