50 Things About me – Part 1

Michelle’s great series has inspired me to abandon my serious topics for a post or two, and tell you some facts that you probably do not know about me! Can’t promise that I will get to 100, but, think I will manage at least 50.

1. I have outlived the majority of the stars that I saw in concert.

2. Elvis Presley is the only performer that I saw in concert twice. I loved his concerts!

3. The best vacation I ever had was a trip to the Swiss Alps 2-3 years ago. We hiked in the Alps and it was a dream come true.

4. Like Michelle, I also loved raising my children. (Well, nearly all the time anyway!) Now I am working on just doting on my grandchildren.

5. All my husbands have had blue eyes.

6. I once met the renowned cooking legend, Julia Child at a cooking demonstration and book signing. (Yes, she’s gone too!)

7. My adult children are my greatest accomplishments. I never aimed to have a have an interesting, high-powered career. For 16 years, I was a stay-at-home mom.

8. I am an avid Francophile and cannot seem to get enough of anything French.

9. I always hated my middle name – don’t ask!

10. If you have read my blog enough, you already know that I adore my granddaughter and grandsons.

11. One of my biggest flaws is that I tend to leave things scattered around the house – I wish that I were neater.

12. When my son was 12 years old, I took him on vacation to Europe(England, France and Holland). Mostly people thought I was nuts to take him. It was a great trip.

13. My paternal grandmother lived on a farm, complete with an outhouse, a pump on the porch and a feather bed that I slept on while visiting.

14. I have lived in about 7 different states – that I can recall at the moment!

15. One of the few Southern phrases that I still use is “fixin to”.
