From Danielle’s blog:
We all leave our “footprint” on the world, in one way or another. We each, individually, do something or are someone that makes the world a little better just by being here. I created this weekly meme to get to know the blogging community I love just a bit better. To know what makes them tick, outside of books, that is. Each week I will post a question to be answered in the following week’s “A Bit of Me(Me)”. Check back each Saturday to get the info for next week’s post and link up with your current post right here.
This week’s question:   If you were going to be stuck on a deserted island, which 5 books, movies, people and foods would you take along
This is an easy question for me this week.  And if I am reading it correctly, I think I am to list 5 in each category.
Movies:
None since I’m not a movie person, I would leave that to the rest of the family. 
People
carpool

Easy…the husband, 2 sons and their girlfriends.  Their is no one else I would rather be with.  Matter of fact I am already hinting that my Christmas present from the hubby be a family vacation, so being on this island, might be it  lol.

 
Books
reading book

A little cheating here.  I would bring my Sony EReader since there are lots of tbr books waiting to be read and my Kindle for the same reason plus it has WiFi so in case I run out of books, I can get more.

Food:
Pizza, fruit, ice cream, pasta, and of course………………………………….

…………………………………………..chocolate!!!!!!

This week’s question:  Are you fond of cooking?

I used to love to cook.  Was a lousy baker, that I will admit, but cook, yes.  Especially in the winter.  I would spend hours preparing meals for suppers, I was fortunate to be a SAHM for our 2 sons, and every night when the hubby got home from work, the four of us would eat together and discuss our day.  I always had to prepare more because in our house, I never knew if the boys invited friends to eat with us too.  Unfortunately, it is very hard for me now since I am so limited in my movements due to the complications with my back.  I am lucky that I have a very understanding and supportive husband.  Plus it is just the two of us now, we still eat together but majority of nights it is take out not the “from scratch” meals that I would prepare.

This week’s question:  Name one (or two or three) things you miss about being a child.
Read more: http://www.theresabook.com/category/a-bit-of-meme/#ixzz1QHhARKNY

Danielle has asked the perfect question, at least for me at this time of my life, which makes it so very easy to answer.  And I am sure I am not the only one who feels this way.  What do I miss most?  The carefree, innocence, worry free, no responsibility, no stress and feeling and knowing that you are unconditionally loved and cared for each and every day. 

When I think back, I guess there were some of the above, but if only we knew how minor they would be compared to being an adult.  Cleaning our rooms, doing school work, staying up a little later than normal, wishing we could play outside longer than when the street lights came on or even if in the summer if we could get ice cream from the Mr. Softee Ice Cream Truck.  I know…I’m showing my age…but wouldn’t it be fun to have those feelings again?  What about you?  What do you miss?

This week’s question:  What outdoor activities do you like to do?
Read more: http://www.theresabook.com/2011/06/a-bit-of-meme-a-wiggle-of-the-nose/#ixzz1OxiZSMwq

Because of all (5) the back operations, I am quite limited in what activities I am physically capable of doing.  Before the last 2 operations I used to love to plant in both our front and back gardens.  I enjoyed picking out different perennials that would bloom at different times and then adding annuals in between so there was always color.  My hubby has now taken over that chore and plants annuals every year.  Ant the other activity that I can do, and enjoy, is to sit in my, as I call it, reading float, and read and relax floating around in our pool.   What outdoor activities do you enjoy?  Do you do outdoor activities year round or only certain times of the year?

This week’s question:  If you could have 3 wishes granted, what would they be?
Read more: http://www.theresabook.com/category/a-bit-of-meme/#ixzz1OK1F7pu4

My 3 wishes are love, health and happiness for my loved ones and myself.  I know it may be corny, but at this juncture in my life, I feel that having these are so important. Fourth would be financial stability.  Over the past year or so, due to real life instances some being traumatic, I have been reflecting a lot on my life and how fast it has gone by.  What is important and what isn’t.  What I did right and what I didn’t.  And what I want out of the rest of my life.  Even though I have two out of the three, health being an issue, it could be worse.  What about you?  What are your 3 wishes?
