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
