THE FIVE
Each player answers the questions themselves. At the end of the post the player tags 5 people, and posts their names, and then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment letting them know that they have been tagged, asking them to read your blog. (If I was an English teacher I would red mark the last sentence!) Let the person who tagged you know that you have answered the questions.
The Five
Ten years ago:
1. I was 44 years young.
2. I had children in elementary school, middle school, and high School.
3. I had 3 grandchildren.
4. I cooked for a lot more people that I do now!
5. I was a lot thinner.
Five things on today's "to do" list:
1. Get my hair done at 10:30
2. Work on albums for Corey, Caleb, Hunter and Bryson (pictures from the ZOO)
3. Sweep and Mop my house.
4. Try to come up with something for dinner that everyone likes...yes after ALL these years, this is still a struggle for me!!!
5. Go to TCBY this evening with my Visiting Teachers.
Five snacks I enjoy:
1. Hot artichoke dip with "bagle chips" and a REAL COKE. (Sometimes I just like to throw caution to the wind and live wild! - Did I mention that I was A LOT thinner 10 years ago?)
2. Soft serve ice vanilla ice cream from Linda's Chicken and Fish. (Yes, I was a LOT LOT THINNER!)
3. Frozen Bluberries - I try to eat some everyday! These are great with a little Splenda and some Fat Free Ready Whip.
4. John WM Macy's Cheese Sticks - Melting Parmesan is one of my favorite flavors. I get them at World Market.
5. Cheese and crackers.
Five things that I would do if I were a millionaire:
1. Pay off ALL of our debts.
2. Pay off ALL of our children's debts.
3. Set up trust funds for all our grandchildren.
4. Move to Utah (Angel Canyon) and work everyday at the largest no-kill animal shelter in the world. And I would also adopt lots of Rescue Pugs, Rescue Greyhounds, and Rescue Carolina Dogs
5. Fly at the drop of a hat to anywhere that my children are. Also (I'm old, I deserve to have more that 5 things on my list.) I would have a seperate "residence" so that any of my children / grandchildren could come and visit me, and stay in a place without dog hair!
Five places that I have lived:
1. St. Petersburg, Florida
2. Dunedin, Florida
3. Gainesville, Florida
4. Jacksonville, Florida
5. Lakeland, Florida
Okay - I'm done. I tag Suzanne, Barry, Mandee, and Tammy - I'm pathetic, as I don't know anyone else with a blog, 4 will have to do.

Greyhounds

Aren't these dogs beautiful? While we were in Florida last month, we were priviledge to house/dog sit for the Nobos. They are fostering rescued greyhounds. Lucy is on the left - doesn't she look regal? Ace is on the right. He is a shy guy. In the middle, is Mickey. He is a really big boy, and I feel in love with him right away.
These are such sweet loving dogs, and their "breed" are killed at an alarming rate. Please, Please, Please...if anyone out there in cyber world who might be reading this, has room in their heart for a wonderful dog CONSIDER GREYHOUND RESCUES!!! These fabulous dogs are just big 'ole couch potatoes. They are gentle and loving creatures and make GREAT housepets, even in small spaces. They don't bark much, and when relaxed, they will curl up into a ball, like a cat.
Spend a few minutes on line learning about these sweet dogs. Google "Greyhound Rescue" and then read all about them. Since there is dog racing in Tampa, there are a lot of wonderful dogs in Florida who are just waiting for a Forever Home!!!
More about our trip on another post! Arf Arf
