The Ol' "Seven Random Things About Myself" Tag

My friend, Quinne (don't you love that name?!) tagged me to share seven random facts about myself. So, let's see...

1. The extra 15 pounds that keep hanging around these days making my tummy chubby are bugging me. But they do not seem to be going anywhere just the same...

2. "Amahl and the Night Visitors" by Gian Carlo Menotti gives me the warm fuzzies - as does most any Puccini or Verdi opera. I grew up hearing wonderful opera playing in the living room while I fell asleep most every night.

3. Cherry picking on Grandpa's farm was my means for earning a little extra cash each summer. Messy, sticky, hot, and fun - all at once!

4. I have a neice who just might make it in the theater world. She's really good!

5. Tap dancing is a blast! (Isn't most any kind of dancing?)

6. If I could go back to any place in time I would visit my mother's and father's childhood homes in 1942 or so (12 & 14 years old.)

7. I would like to cross the Atlantic in a replica of the Mayflower. I would love to know what that was like. And while I'm at it, let's try a covered wagon across the plains!
