1.Who gave me my love of piano?
My Great-Grandma Gert; she used to play for hours while my Grandma knitted. The piano in my dining room was hers. She bought it after he husband died because she was lonely. It helped her pass the time. My Mom would call her during her lunch breaks to see if she needed any new music.
2.Do we speak any more languages beside German?
My Yaya used to speak Greek. My Grandpa (on my other side) knows Spanish, he says he had to learn it when he was a Chicago police officer back in the day.
3.How does your looks affect who you are?
I personally don't look any Greek. In the sun my hair looks red. That's because I inherited it for my Grandpa on my Dad's side. His nickname was Red. Even my Yaya called him that.
4.In the olden days, did any of our ancestors get to be kings or queens?
No, but they were bakers for the Austria Royal Family. I wrote more about that in my Geography post.
5.How has are traditions changed from past generations?
There's different main courses at Christmas, but most of the desserts are still old-school. I say that because of the Chicago Tribune Annual Cookie Contest. This year the first place winner was Erna Steinbrenner. She's my great great aunt. She makes her crescents every year for us. My mom makes them them too, but they're not the same.
