This is great, Barbara! And just in time, too... I may use it for my blog today. Man, do I keep copying off you, or what? ;)
Have a great weekend!
I love the ABC's idea. I will try to pop back in and post mine. Or maybe I will do this on my blog - if you don't mind me copying! Enjoyed getting to know more about you.
Leslie- Consider doing this on your blog and link back to me for 5 entries into the drawing.
Okay, finally I'm going to ask what is probably a STOOPID question - but what is a meme!
Donna- thanks for playing!!
Angie- Thanks!
Janna- I hope you add it to your blog and link back to me for the 5 extra chances in the drawing.
Karen- Post this on your blog and link back to mine for 5 chances on my giveaway.
Kathryn- Good luck with finding an answer. Isn't that what they call these little blog games?
Kathryn- I Googled meme and found this definition:
"A blog meme is a type of Internet meme that requires active participation by the blogger and rarely traces back to an originating source. It's often a series of questions that a blogger answers to share some personal perspective or experience on random topics."
My quote - that was bothering me that I could not remember it - "There is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a woman"
Lea- That's a great and true (from what I hear) quote!!
Check my blog later for my meme's. Hugs~~~~Leslie
