How did you do? Let me know in the comments.

Now, here are the meme rules:

-Link back to the person who gave you the meme (that would be me).
-Reveal seven things about yourself.
-Choose seven other blogs to nominate, and post a link to them.
-Let each of your choices know that they have been tagged by posting a comment on their blog.
-And finally, let the tagger know when your post is up.

Now, I'm tagging these folks:

Lynne at Lynne's Somewhat Invented Life,

Lindalou at Our Mush Push,

the Sass at The Sassy Lime, who I know will get question # 1right :),

SJ at Sarah, Student Midwife,

Gretchie-lou at Richard and Gretchen,

Either of the two 'peas' at Two Peas in a Pod,

Donna at Mamma Mia Days,

and

the Damsel at Old School (if you haven't attended 'class' with the damsel, you should check this out!)

AND...... anybody else who stops by and wants to. Have fun!

happy meme-ing.......... and don't feel compelled to do this if you HATE memes.

Vote!

Here's a meme: vote, and then let us all know what your experience was - wait time, etc. Political ranting optional.

I voted at 8:30 a.m., no wait at

my polling station, although they said there had been a line earlier.

I was planning to go about 9, 9:30 a.m., because I calculated that voters on the way to work, and parents dropping kids off at school would be done by then, and it would be slow. (I have been hearing about hour long waits at early voting.)

Then I saw that the snow that wasn't supposed to come until tonight or this afternoon, was coming down, and I would rather not get stuck somewhere, so I ran out the door and voted.

So, come on, let me know what your experience was!

tagged by the Sass

My daughter tagged me---

So here is the meme:

Post your 4th picture from your 4th file. Say a little about it, then tag 4 other people.

Here is my pic......

It is one of about a million I took last winter when we had so much snow and winter seemed endless (winter seems endless to me every year, though).

This pic features my hill billy homemade bird feeder (yeah, it IS an old shoe box w/ aluminum foil on it, Holy Homemade Craziness, Batman!)

Don't you love the aesthetically pleasing evergreen branches on the side?

OK, it will be easy to top this dorky pic, so I am tagging:

PJ at Sleeping Late on Saturday

Barbara at Motherof8

Lynne at her Somewhat Invented Life

and anybody else who wants to do something random.

So, where have YOU lived and visited?

I was surprised to find how many places I've been.


visited 26 states (52%)
Create your own visited map of The United States or determine the next president

Munumanu, another meme. . .

This is for my dear G gal ...

3 Joys - children, grandchildren, the gospel of Jesus Christ!

3 Goals- exercise regularly, improve health, think before I speak

3 Current Obsessions- yard work, weddings, yard work

3 Random Surprising Facts- if I know, I'm not really surprised, am I? (unless I forget and then remember, that really would be random, wouldn't it?)

it is a hot summer day, I tag you if you want to play, too. Let me know in comments.
