My Turn. . .

Following Kayra's lead, here are some random tidbits about me. . .

~ I am the oldest of 2 girls (we're 12 years apart).

~ I fear falling out of airplanes. Since my Dad was a crop duster, I grew up in small airplanes and even learned to fly (never soloed). So it was really hard for me to understand why my oldest son would jump out of planes for fun!

~ I too love the mountains and my husband and I hope to live our final days near some.

~ No coffee for me. My drink of choice is a fountain Diet Coke.

~ I am a great holiday cook. I can really put on a spread for any occasion but that's the only time I like to cook.

~ I'm not a huge reader but I can get into a good book now and then. It's ironic that one of the attorneys I work with is writing a book titled "Flying Machines" and I'm helping him edit it. He recently went to the Oshkosh Airshow and actually found the T-6 my Dad restored and flew for several years. Just in case you don't know what a T-6 is, take a look at the picture below!

~ I learned to drive when I was 12 and my grandfather asked me to teach my cousin how to drive in his tiny Fiat in our cow pasture! LOL

~ Growing up, all I ever wanted to do was get married and have children. I actually had a savings account to "buy me a wedding." I was 6, what did I know!

~ I love to dance but don't do it much any more.

~ My favorite color is maroon, and not just because we're State fans.

~ I hate shopping except when I really NEED something. . .then I'll shop til I drop.

~ I've always dreamed of writing a book but it would have to be biographical and I don't think anyone would buy a book about me. . .LOL

~ I can't stand to look at sardines and raw oysters. . .YUK!

~ If money wasn't an issue, I would volunteer to teach conversational English. What a hoot it would be to have someone pick up my southern accent. LOL I've always wanted to go to Hollywood to teach actors how to speak with a southern accent. Some do okay, but others just don't have a clue.

~ I've moved around and lived in Louisiana, Mississippi, back to Louisiana, back to Mississippi, South Carolina and back to Mississippi. Whew!

~ I believe starting every day with a chance to get it right.

~ I hate it when someone lies to me. I won't lie to you, so you don't lie to me.

~ I love my job but also wish I had more time off to travel as well as spend time with my children and grandchildren.

Okay, you blogging marathoners - Your Turn!!
