Meme

The tag: (from Patti Abbott)

1. The rules of the game get posted at the beginning.
2. Each player answers the questions about themselves.
3. At the end of the post, the player then tags 5-6 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know they’ve been tagged and asking them to read the player’s blog. [I'll leave this open to whomever wants to join in the fun. But do let me know if decide to participate.]
4. Let the person who tagged you know when you’ve posted your answer.
