Eight Random Facts Meme
Barbara at Tidbits and Treasures has tagged me for the 8 Random Facts Meme.
Each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
Write a post about your own 8 random things.
Post these rules.
At the end of your blog, tag 8 people and post their names. Don't forget to leave them a comment and tell them they're tagged.
Here are 8 random facts about me.
1. I was born before I was due on April Fools Day.
My Daddy could not convince anyone that I was born.
Finally, my Grandmother (mother's mother) believed him.
2. I am the oldest of four children and have two younger brothers and a sister.
3. I am short, only 5'3 1/2" tall. PS (after the fact) I just went for a physical and found out I am only 5'2". I must have been wearing my shoes. :o)
4. I love music and have written hymns and songs.
5. I love my little flower garden.
6. I had a real estate broker's license and sold real estate.
7. I have a BA in Education, but worked for years doing bookkeeping at my daddy's office. This helped me when my children were young.

Deby
Jodi, my Daddy just fussed and carried on when nobody believed him. How about that, another April 1 birthday!
haus frau, Well, you ARE a short little one. :o)
Deby, that's fine, take your time, I did.
haus frau, I didn't tag you, because you are always so sweet to give us lots of information. ;o) Why don't you also do the meme? We would love it, I'm sure.
Well I'll be, I will have to give my 8 meme's some thought but thanks for the tag.
Nancy, I don't know if they are supposed to be facts like some I gave or what. You can look at Barbara's. She did it twice. And the person who gave it to her just gave some silly facts. :o)
those are cool facts to learn about you ... :o)
what i have been doing with meme's is answering them on the comments ... soooooo, here are 8 random facts about me:
1. born in finland
2. i have a sister, who isn't a sister, to my 4 sisters ...
3. christmas makes me meloncholy
4. i went up at a billy graham crusade at the age of 12
5. i only knew my husband 5 weeks before we were engaged
6. i've had over 7 accidents while driving in wintery conditions
7. i love the desert
8. i am one year short of my bachelor's in religious education .
that's pretty random i'd say! oh, i'm shorter than you are - not quite 5'2" ... :o)
blessings on your sunday!
Saija, thanks for the interesting facts. :o) I have already found 2 friends shorter that I am. Goodness, be careful driving in that snow! I could be melancholy too thinking about Christmas, if I lingered on recalling past BIG Christmases we had while I was growing up. I'm glad I don't live in Canada with all that snow! I don't handle snow too well, though I did write a pretty instrumental song about snow once, when snowed in for a long time. :o)
Cathy, I found out some things about you I didn't know in all the time I've known you. Neat!
lol, Well, how about that, Barb! Must be some of the real facts at the end.
That is neat. :o)
This was fun! It's neat to know some more about you! I'm short too... just under 5'1". And I have a younger brother who is 6'3"!!
I actually did this meme a few months ago:
http://more-love-to-thee.blogspot.com/2007/05/ive-been-tagged.html
but that was only seven facts, so I'll give you one more:
(pause)
OK, I'm coming up blank. I'll think about it and get back to you :-)
Have a lovely evening, dear friend!
Goodness, dear, Beka, you're the shortest so far, though 2 others were 5'2". I'll have to check out your facts. :o) Don't worry about the eighth. Some of us omitted it. You have a blessed evening too, sweet friend.
Cathy, that is so funny about your birthday.
I have always been 5'5", but in recent years, I have shrunk to 5'3 1/2". Who knows where I will end up!
Patricia, actually, my poor daddy was doing a little worse than just fussing. Oh, dear, I am hearing too much about this shrinking business. Sure hope it doesn't happen to me.
Enjoyed reading the facts about you! I'm another shorty, I used to be 5'2", but have shrunk to 5'1" now, I think. My husband is 6'2"! Yep, opposites attract!
Your blog is beautiful!
Katherine
Thank you, Katherine. I can't believe all the little shorties showing up! And there you go talking about the shrinking again. Ya'll look way too young for that. Maybe I'd better check my height again. I do look pretty short in some pictures. :o)
