“The first time I removed a sticker, I felt so good that I had done something,” Irmela Mensah-Schramm says.
“Mensah-Schramm—who looks like a kindly grandmother, with her white hair and smiling face—has been physically assaulted by neo-Nazis, threatened with fines by authorities, and derided by those around her, but still she looks for hateful stickers on letterboxes, road signs, and lampposts. She photographs them, and either scrapes them off or sprays over them. Her eagle eye notices stickers that most passers-by never spot. . . . . . . . ”

I've lived in Australia since 1959 together with my husband Peter. We have four children, eight grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. I started blogging because I wanted to publish some of my childhood memories. I am blogging now also some of my other memories. I like to publish some photos too as well as a little bit of a diary from the present time. Occasionally I publish a story with a bit of fiction in it. Peter, my husband, is publishing some of his stories under berlioz1935.wordpress.com

Leave it to middle aged women and they will fix the world. I think this was the secret of Hugo Chavez’s success in Venezuela – he turned private apartment buildings over to the people who lived in them and appointed a middle aged female in his of them to be manager.
Good for her!

YAY! What an amazing lady! I’m so grateful for her!
We should all help her by doing the same thing where we live!
HUGS!!! 🙂
(PS…I put up a WP post that is silly. Might bring some laughs and smiles. 🙂 )
