5 Things You may not Know about Me.
12/29/06

On Christmas Eve, Kim at Embracing Momminess tagged me for the "5 things you may not know about me" meme. Ok ... hmmm ...

1) My middle name is the same as my grandmother's, my mother's, and my oldest daughter's ... And we are all very fond of the name Elise.

2) I have been to at least 18 states by car and 2 by plane.

3) In the four years before the last six months, I have lived in tents, a very old RV, hotels, other people's homes, and my mini-van ... each one was for months at a time ... each adventure has a story and a reason.

4) I get restless. I would rather travel than sit still. I would like to travel and have a steady income. If anyone has ideas and suggestions on that ... feel free to pass along ideas.

5) I was born in the year the video below describes. Much of the video feels like watching home movies.

BUT First ... I am going to tag some people to do this meme ... cause if I getta do it then I think others ought to have the same fun.

As near as I can discern, three out of my four alliances have not had the pleasure of participating in this particular meme. So I tag Sophia at A Hole in the Fence, Mary-LUE at Life, the Universe & Everything, and Darren at Clare's Dad.

Enjoy!

I enjoy your comments. And I want you to enjoy reading each other's comments. To that end purpose, I moderate comments. If you're impatient, MeeboMe.

Commenting Ideas
  • If you do not have a blog or site, skip the "web site" line, pull a name or "handle" out of your head, write a note, push the button. (No excuses!)
  • If this entry reminds you of a story of a similar place in time in your life, you are welcome to tell your story.
  • If you discover your story is taking more than 3 or 4 paragraphs (and if you have a place on the web for your writings), I will not be insulted if you take your story back and finish it at your own site. But then I will be disappointed if you don't come back and leave me a summary of your story and a link -- in the comments.
  • If you have already written a story about a similar place in time, please feel free to leave a summary and a link.
  • It's never too late to make a comment or tell a story.

Mary-LUE has responded to her tag. It is her 150th post. Go congratulate her on her 150 and see if you recognize anyone in her family tree. I certainly did.

5 things meme.

Oooops for me, too! I haven't even been online all weekend, so only now did I discover being tagged! I'll do this before the end of the day.

~Sophie, don't worry. I knew it would take awhile before you all discovered your tags since it's the holidays and all. Relax. Enjoy.~pam

    Why does this Site Exist?
    10/26/06
    My website is largely my memoir ... my musings, photos, encounters, life's stories.

    But what really thrills me is that when I let go of my stories, it's like sending out little sail boats out on expeditions. Very often they come back to me filled with other people's stories. Continue...
