Tag, I'm It: Optimist Mom Tagged Me for the Book Game

Hi there everyone -

My sister is really "into" blogging. She's the one that got me into this, but she's like the Queen of blogdom. She also has her own world of blog friends and it seems that they're playing this game.

So, since I was tagged....(how cool is that?), I'm going to play along, especially since I'm enjoying a great book at this time.

Here are the rules:
1. Pick up the nearest book (of at least 123 pages).
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the next three sentences.
5. Tag five people.


(1) I have the book right here on my desk. The book is entitled: "In the Meantime: Finding Yourself and the Love You Want" by Iyanla Vanzant.
(2) I have opened the book to page 123. The chapter is entitled, "Doing the Laundry" and the section is subtitled: "Lift the Thoughts About You!"
(3) Done.
(4) I wanted someone to treat me special and make me feel special. In the absence of a meaningful love relationship, I went through my days feeling incomplete and worthless. Of course, I never said one word.
(5) Tag five people.

Here ya go family and friends: Anne (Mom) Bookie, Victoria over at Sundries, Sue H(a sister to Ruth's friend, Kathie), another one of Ruth's contacts, the Navy Bride who has a very cool blog, and lastly, the guy famous for furniture making: Sippican Cottage (I enjoy going to this blog).

Okay...I did my tag thing...and it was fun. Not quite sure what a meme is....but I guess I just accomplished it.

Wisconsin is gearing for weather on all fronts....hopefully we'll survive it all. This is the calm before the storm.

A Perpetual Snowglobe?

This is my first post of 2008....sorry about that...I got busy doing lots and lots of things....

(1) I recovered from pneumonia. I think I'm feeling back to normal and am glad that is behind me.

(2) Saw lots of movies between Christmas and New Year's. More on that later...perhaps a post about some of the movies I've seen.

(3) Been busy with the dogs and a couple shows already. Puppy Drifter got Best in Puppy Sweepstakes at the North Country Gordon Setter Club, Inc., show the first weekend of January as well as a couple Reserve Winners Dog awards at the Oshkosh/Winnegamie Shows the following weekend.



We have been in the deep freeze here in Wisconsin. However, despite that, we have gotten close to 7" of snow today. I was driving around in it going from here to Lomira to collect River for a breeding in NC.

Enjoy the photos that I took tonight.....the perpetual snowglobe......Beautiful...isn't it?
