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
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.....
Here are the rules for A Random Things Meme.....
1. Link to the person who tagged you and post the rules on your blog.
2. Share 7 random and/or weird facts about yourself.
3. Tag 7 random people at the end of your post, and include links to their blogs.
4. Let each person know that they've been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.
I may not know you personally,
but I know the beauty of your spirt.....
Blessings
