7 Random Facts about me

1: I got my ears pierced at 15. My dad had told me I had to wait until I was 16 and then grandma got her ears pierced around her birthday. It would have been just a few more months but grandpa decided I didn't have to wait. So then I got this girl who was totally new doing it and she did them crooked. Adrienne had to redo them for me.

2: I am claustrophobic

3: Some heights make me dizzy and queasy.

4: I have never broken any bones

5: I am also particular about how my dishwasher is loaded but just fix it if dad loads it for me. He usually crams in too many dishes.

6: I kissed a bumble bee when I was two... so I'm told.

7: I loved Math in 6th grade.

Quick Trip

Last Friday grandpa and I went out to our property for a quick trip to take some nuts to the critters and fix an itty-bitty screen on the well cap. The first thing we did when we got there is fix the screening which involved taking 6 bolts off the cap to remove it. There is this little screen that prevents bugs and dirt from getting sucked up the vent in the cap. We had taken out all the old nuts (except for a couple bags of good ones) and I scattered them around while grandpa puttered around with something. I couldn't help but wonder what the critters will think of all those walnuts under the pine trees! Then I grabbed grandpa's camera and decided to take pictures of all the stuff the girls painted hanging in the trees. It's so weird... I couldn't find the bird feeder. My theory is that it was painted so well with tree colors that it was camouflaged. Grandpa's theory is that a critter chewed its rope and ran off with it for the yummy bird seed goo I put in it. What's your theory?

Out of it

This last week I went to buy some scrapbook paper. I was scrapping when the YW Progressive dinner came to my house. I had in my mind to get cute pink and brown paper only to be told, "that was popular two years ago." As if I care! So I'm behind the times and am 'so two years ago". Actually, that's pretty good. At my age, it's amazing I'm not still back in the 80s! I got a bee in my bonnet and decided that even if I can't have pink and brown scrapbook paper, I can at least have a pink and brown background on my blog!
