I have ten burning questions to answer (I know you can't wait!)
1)Why do you blog?
K: Blogging has truly been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I have friends throughout the world who follow me. I respond and visit their sites to chat as much as I can.
2)name your three best memories.
K) My son's wedding which was so special, so heartwarming.
Going to London for my late husbands 40th birthday! It was a dejavu experience for me. I loved the city and all of the theatre we experienced,The Phantom of the Opera, Les Miserables, Mouse Trap.
Going to Montreux Switzerland and taking The Orient Express through the Alps seeing Mont Blanc, stopping in villages in France and Italy along the way. Magical!
3)Name 4 of the best fiction books I have read.
K) Oh so many, a few would be Pillars of the Earth, Loving Frank, Michelangelo and the Pope's Ceiling, Brave New World, Jane Eyre. Almost any Art, Interior Design and Architecture books as well.
4) What are the 5 best movies ever made?
K) I know there are many published lists on the best 100 etc...for me Gone with the Wind, Holiday, Pay it Forward, Dream Girls, Chicago. For fun What about Bob.
5)Name 5 things you cannot live without.
K) My family and friends. My computer and camera.Books that take me away. My Art-Painting. My Memories. My cat Miss Belle.
6) If you could change your name what would it be?
K) In a way I have, because my legal name is Karen Roederer Tremonti Albert. I love my French heritage and thus my artist and blog name has become Karena.
7) Tell us a unique and interesting fact about yourself.
K) I am much stronger than I look. I can come out of major surgery, must put my best face on, showing those who love me that I shall survive!!
Oh and that I would have loved to be a prima ballerina.
8) What do you love best about yourself?
K) My faith, my capacity to love, share. being the eldest of eight gave me the ability to be strong and be responsible.
9) If you had a Freaky Friday Experience who would it be with?
K) Josephine Bonaparte or Audrey Hepburn in her later years.
10)What is the best thing about being a woman?
K) For me, it is the ability to have great strength, a true intuition, to be able to always be open to love. In this age to be able to break all barriers and glass ceilings.
Whew! That was a lot and really had me thinking of how fortunate I am. Thank you all who have joined me in this adventure, for there is much more to come!
