Barb Davis said...

Barb Davis said...

Barb Davis said...

Barb Davis said...

Barb Davis said...

Kathryn- Good luck with finding an answer. Isn't that what they call these little blog games?

Barb Davis said...

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."

Lea and her Mustangs said...

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"

Barb Davis said...

Lea- That's a great and true (from what I hear) quote!!

Leslie said...

Check my blog later for my meme's. Hugs~~~~Leslie
