Norma, one of my fellow bloggers in Arizona asked if I would follow through with this tag. It is a way of getting to know people better by knowing some interesting tidbits of info about them.
I live a very normal life, pretty dull ( by some people's standards) at times - but you know what....I am very happy. In fact. Leon and I were discussing happiness tonight and we both said how happy we are at this point in our lives.
So here goes with the answers to these questions...
1. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE?
Yes, Amelia Earhart, probably the most famous female pilot. Mother thought about naming me Matilda Etoy...who was our preacher's wife...I am glad she chose Amelia.
2. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED?About 6 weeks ago.
3. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING? No. It is practically impossible to read. I can write fair but just don't take the time to do it.
4. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCH MEAT? Pastrami
5. DO YOU HAVE KIDS? Gave birth to one - a daughter. However, I consider Leon's children as my own also. In that department , one daughter and two sons. We have grandchildren and great grandchildren.
6. IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU? Yes, I like people.
7. DO YOU USE SARCASM ? Yes, who doesn't?

Excuse me, not to correct you or anything, but #41....I can think of at least TWO other special talents that you have.....and I am SURE there are more....you are a very good quilter and have a very green thumb!
I am so glad you joined in. I do feel that I know you better now, but it doesn't make a big difference. I knew you were "good people" from the very beginning.
If you told me you were named after Amelia Earhart, I forgot. That's pretty cool.
Lisa's right! You're an excellent quilter, sewer and gardener. And you've got an amazing talent for getting things done. There isn't a procrastinating bone in your body.
I had fun reading your "things" and discovered, probably due to our closeness in age, that we have some things in common.
Hope you have a fabulous day.....

I agree with #12- You are an inspiration to me. You are a strong woman. I am blessed to have you as a "friend-mom" & neighbor!
