I want to go on an Alaskan cruise too, I hear it’s a beautiful place to visit.
This is a great Meme, I may have to steal it!
Like it! And you! (I’m such a voyeur.)
I’d love an Alaskan cruise — or Mediterranean (those are the only two that ever appealed to me). I hate spiders, too, and was amused to learn not so long ago that my dad (who I’d call to rescue me from the 8-legged ones when I was little) was probably more afraid of them than I was! Hee.
So…your last package is going to be late…because a few days ago, my wallet was lost, and I’m awaiting a new bank card and credit card, before I can mail it. Would you like me to reveal myself now, or wait for the package?
i’m with you on the lima beans and teal fabric! thanks for sharing :O)
I like YOUR lists. I used to write down every book I read…why did I stop? Oh ya, I stopped reading books and now read blogs.
Meme’s are a good way to learn about people you like.
I agree with Margene. Memes are good fun. You and I have a great deal in common, but add brussels sprouts to that lima bean thing. Eck!
Hey, we are both Jeep grrls! We got the first one in 2000, and then the second one at the end of 2001 as a replacement for the one my DH totaled.. he jumped right out and started directing traffic and never even felt sore, although it was painful for me to see the aftermath. My youngest rolled the second one, since repaired, and was able to drive it home afterwards… they are some rugged vehicle. Let’s go cruising together!
