The usual way these meme thingies go is that you are supposed to tell 7 things about yourself that people might not know.

1]   How about telling about a FABULOUS book that I have been staying up waaaaaaay too late at night with?

It’s called: Belonging: Home away from home and is by Isabel Huggan.  It’s a contemplative and engaging book of essays and stories written by a Canadian author. Her husband’s work requires them to live in different countries, and she writes in a heartfelt way about how you create ‘home’.

2]  Which brings me to a big issue in our lives: We are looking at upping and offing and moving over mountains and across water onto an island in about a year’s time.

Part of me is thrilled by the idea. That would be a VERY small part of me. The rest of me, the VERY big rest of me part, is frankly terrified…..    I feel loved here. I feel like I have community on many levels: There is  an unconscious ‘grid’ of knowing that when I need this, I can go there…

Will we adapt to a new climate? Will I (having been born and raised on prairies and living for half my life here in Alberta Canada, which is not prairie, but ‘parkland’) like living on an island?   Okay…. that brings me to another fact….

3]  I like water. I drink a lot of it when I boil it and add tea leaves.

4] BUT…. I can’t swim.

5]   I don’t like bathtubs,

6]  I hate swimming pools and DON’T even THINK of inviting me into a soup pot for humans ugh no no I mean hottub!

Now, I love the ocean…….. but……… living on an island……..

a VERY beautiful island  that has the added benefit of being the home of two beloved sisters……. but still….

there is all that      W A T E R    ……..

7] Quick – someone pass me a cuppa tea…..

Did I mention I love tea?

Oh yes, these meme things mean that you are supposed to tag someone else……….. alrighty!

Heeheehee…. I’ll get out my magic wand and ‘ting’ – and

tag  my daughter, Chloe!

let’s see….

ah, yes, there’s wonderful Gayla at Super Nanny Rules

You know what? I am just going to spiel off some of my favorite blogs and tag them. That’s highly unlikely to endear me to them….. but at least they know that they have a dedicated reader (me)…..

There’s  Jennifer over at Offbeat Homes, one of my most fave blogs….

and  Mary Emma at Quilting and  Patchwork

and oh yes, there’s also Kelly at One Book, Two Book

and Heather at The Food Bowl 

and Heather again at A Creative Journal 

Sorry about tagging you twice, Heather, but  I did end up by tagging my fave blogs, so that’s the way it goes….

Hopefully, the tag meme will float away to another corner of the blogosphere for a month or eight…..   )
