The Duchess Of Earl And A Gift From France

To Yaya

From The Duchess Of Earl.....

A very special person

came to visit

my little place beneath my Southern sky.

She delivered a gift,

all the way from France.

It was a very sweet surprise

as I opened my invitation from the Duchess of Earl.

No, 'twas not for tea,

but

an invitation to play

'Random Things Meme'!

Thank you, Duchess, for visiting my place beneath my Southern sky,

and thank you for thinking of me

and including my lil' blog in your list.

Y'all can visit her special place at

http://www.theduchessofearl.blogspot.com/ .....

Now,

this has caused me to think,

and

think some more...

for

I am to choose seven special blogs

(you are all special)

and

pass along the tag.

I am also suppose to tell you

seven random and/or weird facts about myself.

Okay, very quickly....here are seven facts about me.

1. I once saw a UFO!!! Really!

2. I have spent many hours sunbathing by the South China Sea.

3. One of my favorite Southern meals is pinto beans cooked with ham,

iron-skillet fried potatos, cornbread, sliced sweet onions

and

iced sweet tea.

4. I once considered tasting snake wine, while in Vietnam.

5. I once lived on a cliff in Bethioua, Algeria,

overlooking the blue Mediterranean Sea.

6. I once shared my homemade cookies

with wild monkeys in Tipaza.

The big leader of the monkey pack

smelled my cookie and tossed it to the ground,

making a horrible monkey face.

Why, I have NEVAH!!!

7. I have been in the tomb of Cleopatra Seline,

daughter of Mark Antony

and

Cleopatra, queen of Egypt.

It is amazing

that in this day and time,

by the click of a mouse,

we can visit and travel around the world and back,

from the comfort of our leather armchair,

by the fireplace,

in our cozy den...

all while sipping our favorite wine

and listening to our favorite music.....

It has been most difficult to choose,

but

I must pick only seven,

so say the rules.

Okay, I'm sending out my tags

from beneath my Southern sky.....
