Point 3:
Claudia’s 11 questions for her nominees:

1. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you be found and why?
   New Zealand so that I could be closer to my brother.
2. Which music genre is your favorite?
   I like all sorts except (C)rap, but mostly play stuff from the old musicals.
3. Assuming you will master it, which instrument would you like to learn how to play?
   A saxophone or clarinet. I’ve tried both and got little more than a squeak out of either.
4. How long have you been blogging at WordPress?
   Since September 2013
5. Do you like structure in your day or do you prefer to “fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants”?
   Our days are pretty much the same as our time is our own, but we do have routine. The dog sees to that as you can almot tell the time by her for walks!
6. If you could bring only three items with you to a deserted island, what would you take along?
   A magic supply of endless toilet paper, a wok, and a rifle.
7. What is more important: to be authentic or to be liked by everyone?
   WYSIWYG: I try to be honest in everything in my life and on my blog. It’s always nice to be liked, but impossible to be liked by everyone as we are all so different.
8. Which movie is your favorite and why?
   Depends on my mood so just naming one is difficult. I like James Stewart in It’s a Wonderful Life and The Glenn Miller Story, like the Despicable Me movies and Up, the original terminator movie because it’s a brilliant Sci-fi and Six Days and Seven Nights for the bush scene which always makes me laugh.
9. What is your greatest weakness?
   Impatience
10. Which characteristic or feature about yourself do you like most?
    I genuinely care about other people
11. If you had just one wish, what would you wish for (and no, wishing for more wishes is NOT an acceptable answer, LOL)?
    That Hubby could be pain free

Point 4:
Nominees are my readers.

My 11 Questions now:

1.  What is your first childhood memory?
2.  If you dive, what was your first car?

Have fun.
