Did you know..........?

My neice (Lynsey) tagged me on this in her blog, so I thought I'd give it a whirl. Six interesting facts that you may not know about me.......
  1. I love to take pictures of flowers, spiders, bugs, leaves, sunsets, sunrises, the moon, anything that is unusual. I’m not very good yet, but hope to take a photography class soon to improve my skills. I can take 10 pictures of the same garden spider sitting in his web outside my window, or 7 pictures of a rose from the bush in our yard that produced MORE THAN 80 blooms this summer!
  2. I love to camp, although we don’t very often – in fact we haven’t been camping in a couple of years. But there’s just something fun about sleeping in a tent, and hearing all the night-time noises in the woods – bugs, crickets, owls, etc. However, I find that as I get older, my poor old bones don’t like sleeping on the ground so much anymore and that’s why IF and WHEN we camp, we take along this really big air mattress!!!
  3. I am fascinated by Princess Diana (even though she is gone), and the Royal Family. I love to read the history about the Royals. I’ve just recently been reading about Henry VIII and all of his wives, mistresses, and the way he ‘put them aside’ to satisfy his whims.
  4. I love liver and onions............ liver that is literally smothered in onions......... but only the way my Mom fixes it. I would never order this at a restaurant or eat liver that wasn't fixed by my Mom. I feel the same way about meatloaf (I generally only eat meatloaf that I've made myself) and fried chicken. I will eat fried chicken that someone else has fixed, but I'm partial to the way my Mom fixes it. Now I've gone and myself hungry, and it's only 10:30 in the morning.
  5. I love to fish. I CAN bait my own hook, but my wonderful adoring husband usually does that for me. I CAN take them off the hook too, but he does that for me too. He’s so good to me……. I went deep-sea fishing this summer on our vacation to Dauphin Island on a ½ day trip. The captain was talking about a 3-day trip that they were leaving on later that afternoon. They were traveling all night to get to the fishing spot, and they talked about the gorgeous blue water, the various types of fish, etc. And I was ‘hooked’ – no pun intended. That is my next goal……….. a 3-day deep-sea fishing trip with husband. How soon can I make that happen???? Hmmmmmmmm……..
  6. Lynsey talked about her pearl ring that she wears that was given to her by her grandma (my Mom) that she received from Lynsey’s grandpa (my Dad) when she was pregnant with Lynsey’s Dad (my brother). I like to wear a jade ring that my grandpa gave to my grandma when she was pregnant with my Dad!! It must be a tradition.....

I'd love to read something interesting about you that others may not know. Care to give it a whirl???

I only eat meatloaf I make! I think there's just something creepy about not knowing what's in your meatloaf!
