Here's Your Answer

A few weeks ago, Cheryl tagged me for the latest meme making the rounds. As a rather hesitant game-player, I haven't responded until now. Here's my best shot:

The rules: Are posted at the beginning. At the end of the post, the player then tags 6 people and posts their names, then goes to their blog and leaves a comment, letting them know they've been tagged and asking them to read your blog.

Let the person who tagged you know when you've posted your answer. Play nice, children.

1. What was I doing 10 years ago?
About the same as now, although the kids were 7, 10, and 10, so lots more PTA and classroom volunteering, and much more driving them places and going to sporting events. Things that take up a lot of my time now that I wasn't doing is easier: yoga and knitting.

2. What are 5 things on my to-do list today- not in any particular order?
Knit, clean a bit, walk the dog, get my hair cut, knit.

3. Snacks I enjoy.
Crackers and cheese, chocolate-covered almonds, granola-type bars.

4. Places I've lived- Only Washington, but in a couple of different cities here - Seattle, Bellingham, Kirkland, Lake Forest Park.

5. Things I would do if I were a billionaire: Give a lot of it away, secure retirement so DH could work at something he enjoys, make sure the family has everything necessary, but not give the kids everything they want.

6. What are some jobs you've had: Baskin-Robbins ice cream scooper, secretary-ish for a scrap metal broker, temp, office work at UW School of Medicine and School of Pharmacy, personnel office at a hospital, part-time help at yarn and tea shop (yay!)

7. Peeps I want to know more about: I don't think these folks have responded already, if you have, I missed it.

What I've Been Up To: Part Three. Missouri

Tuesday morning The Princess and I flew to St. Louis, rented a car, and drove a couple of hours to St. Robert, MO.  My SIL joined the National Guard and graduated from Boot Camp on May 9th, so we wanted to be on hand to congratulate him.  May 8th was Family Day, so we got to pick him up at Fort Leonard Wood and take him with us for the day.  He looks very handsome and impressive in his dress uniform! The Princess and her cadre of Army Wives.  Facebook is handy for making connections! We enjoyed meeting some of his buddies and their families and spending some quiet time, then had to have him back on post at 9:00 PM.  The next morning, we went back for an impressive graduation ceremony.  When that was over, we drove to a restaurant several miles out of town.  The drive was beautiful and the restaurant was actually in a cave.  The "shuttle" from the parking lot to the restaurant and "resort" was an old, rickety van driven by someone who might

The Great Adventure 2017 Part Eleven

Okay, we are heading into our last week and I should finish the narrative in no time!  We left off as we were riding the train to Oxford, which was where we picked up our next car.  Our B&B was in Stow-on-the-Wold, which should have been a fairly quick and easy drive.  Unfortunately, our GPS again conspired against us and by the time we figured out we were indeed going in the wrong direction, we had made our drive into a considerably longer one than it needed to be.  I hesitate to say that we wasted time, since seeing any place in England was interesting, but we did have to do some backtracking to get where we needed to be. We spent two nights in a very quaint building that was built in 1640.  The narrow circular staircase and slant to the floors bore out this fact. Imagine carrying two suitcases up these stairs! We had heard good things about the Cotswolds and were looking forward to seeing some part of the area.  Our first impression was that they are indeed popular with

The Great Adventure 2017 Part Twelve - Last Stop, London!

We arrived in London by train from Oxford on Thursday morning, Oct. 12.  After deciding that we didn't want to figure out the Tube while dealing with our luggage, we took a taxi to our hotel.  We did buy our travel cards at the station so we were all set for tackling the underground later that night.  This was our smallest room yet but worked for what we used it for. Our hotel was in the Kensington neighborhood and chosen to be convenient to the things we wanted to do in London.  We unpacked and headed out for a walk in Kensington Gardens.  It's beautiful and huge.  We noticed the Albert Memorial and walked by Kensington Palace and the statue of Queen Victoria.  If we hadn't had our fill of palaces already, we would be in the right place to see more. We kept walking and ended up at the Victoria and Albert Museum, which neither of us had seen before.  It's an immense art museum with endless collections.  A couple of things I liked were the room of tapestries
