8 Things Meme
Posted by Raven on July 5th, 2007
Cotillion sister Linda tagged me with this meme…which is similar to others we have seen. I’ll do it because of Linda…and for those who I tag, do it for ME. Hehe…
The Rules are: Each player lists 8 facts/habits about themselves.The rules of the game are posted at the beginning before those facts/habits are listed. At the end of the post, the player then tags 8 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog. < --More about this after the 8 things:::
#1 - I have been volunteering my free time in Maine to a Hospice organization. Helping people live out their limited days in comfort and peace. It's very fulfilling even with the sadness.
#2 – I’m going to Greece at the end of September. To Ithaka.
#3 – I restore furniture. Antiques and the like. Strip off years of paint and refurbish to original beauty.
#4 – I collect Americana Stuff: Flags, figurines, artwork, quilts, dolls (yes…porcelain), hand made craft fair items. Anything with the R W & B, Stars and Stripes, Uncle Sam…
#5 – I’ve decided to end my pursuit of being a Physical Therapist. Why? Because I LOVE NURSING too much. It’s my calling and I cannot just walk away from it.
#6 – I just bought this set. And these tables.
And this thing for the TV I never watch.
AND, the rug that my little feet will LOVE. Even though I restore furniture, I needed something new. I still have many antiques that really go well with this set.
#7 – The only pans I cook with are old…really old…I use my Grandmothers Griswold Cast Iron pans for almost all my cooking. I don’t have any of the newer sets w/the non stick surfaces- in fact I have never bought a set. I have fry pans, Dutch ovens, bread pans, casserole pans all made by Griswold that suit me perfectly. I cook everything with these pans too and use the skillets over the grille as well! I DO have a set of Revere Wear pans as well that my Mom gave me that she got in the 1950’s…along with those pyrex glass dishes.
#8 – I have gained 6 lbs in three weeks. My doctor is very happy; he asked me to gain 20 lbs. Dammit. I am considered to be a little underweight if one can believe that.
OK many of my blog friends are verrrry busy right now; I don’t feel right about blegging them to participate in this meme. SO I leave it open to whoever wishes to do so. If you read this and have the time, THEN DO IT- and let me know you’ve DONE IT.
