New Meme


I planted this Horsetail in one of my beds and before I knew it there were hundreds, I pull them up and they come back, I'm convinced there will always be a straggler or two. This Meme will tell a little about me, but I will add a tid-bit. I'm kinda like this Horsetail I can get along beautifully in a crowd, I love people. I love to host gatherings, of family friends. Even if you know someone who you think may want to come with you bring em on, the more the merrier. Now on normal day to day basis you will see me alone, and I like it that way.



I've been tagged by Melanie, of Monday through Sunday, thanks Melanie for wanting to know more about me, I just wish I was more interesting than I am.
The categories are : Five things I do for myself, five things I do for my friend, child, or partner, five things I have done for a stranger, five things I do for fun and last five to tag.

This is what they look like in full bloom.

You sound sooooo sweet!

Smoochies,

Love your meme...they always provides insight to a person, that you might not get from normal post! When I read your intro, I certainly felt we were kindred spirits! I love to host parties and entertain for large crowds. And I never know who all will show up, because friends know that their friends and family are welcome...so they bring people too! But I tend to go around by myself a lot...which, like you, I prefer! LOL!

Don't get discouraged about your weight! You are a beautiful person! ...but I can understand that it is neccessary when it becomes health related like high blood pressure. But don't let it get you down! Your body might have been "confused," by not having much food for several days, and then having a lot of goodies...might have gone into a storing mode! So, don't let it get you down! Uplifting Prayers for encouragment headed your way! :)

Hugs, Rhonda

Thanks for your comment about tv or not on my blog. Say, I love the thing about the homeless man not eating meat! Who says he doesn't have any pride and standards? LOL Love your garden pictures.

Deb,

You have lovely flowers! I enjoyed your meme! I got tagged, huh? I still haven't been able to do the link thing on my blog...can't figure something out, but I'll do my best to at least answer the questions on the meme in a couple of days (hope that's okay!). And I'm not that interesting really! I enjoyed yours though!

Great meme! I laughed so hard where you say that you are working at keeping the hairs from your chin. That's a daily battle here too, lol. What is it with being this age that hair grows in such weird places? I even have one that grows out of my forehead...yuck!!!

It was great finding out more about you!
