I'm a visual person with an off the wall sense of humor...and a penchant for doing the absurd. You've left me grinning. I mean, HOW did...ok...never mind.

I continued jumping from apartment to apartment when on my own as a young adult, but once I found my husband, who had his own house already, we've only moved once, and that was 24 years ago.<br />Absolutely wonderful picture of your dog.<br />I'm with you on the good Mexican food, traveling, and wine - though I prefer white. <br /><br />My mother once dropped her glasses in our toilet, and when I fished them out one of the lenses were missing. I told my mother, who I loved very very much, "Sorry, Mom, but I'm not going back in the toilet for that!" We bought her a new pair of glasses, and fortunately, the lense didn't plug up our toilet!<br /><br />OK - entirely TMI for the morning! : )Lynne Marshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17156587180087372120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9023937099212820339.post-6991656604882544922011-08-09T09:53:39.928-04:002011-08-09T09:53:39.928-04:00Hi, Brenda, pour me a margarita, too!
