Saturday Memes

SATURDAY
Photobucket

Hosted by Danielle at There’s A Book

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 your house was on fire and you could only grab 3 things before leaving, what would they be? (Other than family or pets.)

This week’s question really made me think, to the point that I walked through my house trying to decide.
As many photo albums and tapes that could be carried.  That is definitely something that can not be replaced.  To lose pictures of my boys growing up would be devastating to me.

FORBEYON ALBUMS
All important documents
Important Papers by Brad
The third item was hard to decide.  And I know I would have to leave some behind and only choose a few.  But items that have sentimental value to me, like the Crucifix in our bedroom given to us by my husband’s cousin who married us, collectible items in my curio cabinet, items that have been passed down as the notebook filled with my grandmother’s recipes written in her handwriting and signed books.

Thursday Memes

THURSDAY
Photobucket
Hosted by Lori from Dollycas’s Thoughts

From Lori’s site:
It struck me recently how much time I spend on this computer every day, blogging, chatting or playing games on Facebook, emailing friends and relatives, making cards and calendars, etc. etc. etc.
We depend on each other for book reviews, giveaways, encouragement, friendship, but how well do we really know each other?
So that is what this meme is all about, getting to know each other.

Enquiring Minds – April 28  Questions

What is your show size?
Size 7
How many pairs of shoes do you own?
hmmm…let’s not share this with hubby..but….a whole bunch.
Shoes for dress up/special occasions, shoes for business casual and shoes for hanging around.
How many do you actually wear regularly?
Depends on the season.  Winter when I am home, I usually can be found wearing my slippers or sneakers and in the warmer weather, and again, if I am home it’s either slippers, flip flops, or sneakers.

Teaser Tuesday

TUESDAY
Photobucket
Hosted by Miz B at Should Be Reading

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
*Grab your current read
*Open to a random page
*Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
*BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
*Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

“Maybe she destroyed some records before she died,” I suggested as I flipped through the pages.  She never would have wanted us to know about this.”  I came to a page that was completely obliterated by a black marker.
