MEME

I have been invited by Charlotte to play a game called "meme" and I must tell you eight things about myself you might not know. Then invite eight bloggers to play. Well, I am very sorry but I don't know eight bloggers. I know three personally and one of them, Clif, I don't believe will play. So, I will try to tell you the eight things and Charlotte and Kala will perhaps respond. Kala and Charlotte will know some of these things.

1. I was married for 40 years before the Lord took my husband home to sing with
all the best basses that ever were.

2. While the Lord allowed me to have him we did some wonderful things.
Thankfully we didn't say, "When we retire we will do thus and such".
Thankfully because he didn't get to retire.
I believe the most wonderful and exciting thing was: We bought twin 850 Suzuki
touring motorcycles, packed a sleeping bag, a change of clothes and took a
5 week trip from CT to CA and back. The next
trip was from CT to Nova Scotia. There were many smaller trips in between.

3. My first boyfriend was in the 5th grade and I kissed him while hidden in the
corner of the school house. Many years later, across town, he ended up
attending the same high school. It was a large school, I saw him but he
didn't see me.

4. Popcorn is my favorite snack. I sometimes have it for supper.

5. When I go outside into my garden early in the morning I enjoy it so much
I work until I almost drop with fatigue, but all the while I am enjoying
what I am doing.

6. I think I may have been hyper when I was a child. My mom had to call someone
to pull me down from the roof when I was just a very small kid. One time
I must have escaped (once again) and was in the middle of Hwy 60 (at least
I think that was the Hwy that ran right in front of my grand parents house
in Thayer, Mo. At the time it was only a two lane road.

7. My baby brother and I loved to play/dance in the summer rain. My son who is
10 years younger that BB just stands under shelter and shakes his head at his
mom and his uncle.

8. I wear a size 11 shoe. I will not let anyone tell me I have big feet, just
long. They are very narrow. Used to be 11 AAAA. A bit wider now but still
narrow enough that it is not easy to find shoes that fit. When I was a teen
and my shoe size was a 10, I came home complaining because I couldn't find
a pair of shoes, my dad said, "That's OK kid. Just think how funny you would
look if half your leg wasn't turned down for foot".

That's my meme. Connie

Very interesting. I did know some of the things but not all. Thanks for playing the game.
I love the words to the song. I'm sure you did a great job leading it, and singing the solo part. Thanks for sharing with us.
Have a great week. Don't work too hard in the garden.

I just read your message again and realized that you have not done the song yet. I need to read more carefully. So, I'm sure you will do a great job.

My proof reading skills "go
a-wanting" sometime also. I left a note on the seat of each person in the choir this a.m. and said something about God and spelled it Got. I read it two times before printing it off and still didn't catch it. I told them it was my German heritage kicking in! (I have no German heritage at all that I know of)

Kala, have you lost your phone again? I tried to call you yesterday and didn't receive a return call. Doesn't matter now, the question has been answered. Call me anyway if you find your phone.........love you...Grammy

I never kissed a boy... not even my husband. I was never hyper as a child! My feet are also narrow. I do not like the rain too much, but I love the wind (that one is true) and I have the metabolism of... something really awful... like a sloth or something, I just didn't want to be compared to that... I almost always use utensils!
