Well, I want to know who saved your life - and HOW???
ReplyDeleteThe story of my hitchiking is boring...LOL. I was with two other girls and we were teenagers and hitched a ride home from a dance.
That is hitchhiking Judy. Now I believe I can go back and put that in bold too.
ReplyDeleteWell, first my cardiologist killed me when putting in my second stent, then he had to save me by giving me a jump start. I was dead for 30 seconds. Count to 30 -- that's a long time.
I was rescued from near drowning when I was eight by the pool lifeguard. I'm not sure how really close to death I was.
Oh, and I had an allergic reaction to penicillin and they had to jump start me then with an adrenaline shot. Again the doctor first killed me before saving me.
Judy,
ReplyDeleteThis looks like fun and I might just steal it for a post.
Thank you for accepting the baking challenge. That is terrific. I didn't get photos of my baking and didn't get as much done as I'd have liked because of illness and being way behind with Christmas. However, I did make some things and gave a large plate to my upstairs tenants.
Take care, my friend and thanks for visiting. Have a wonderful week.
Blessings,
Mary
This is so interesting, I love it!!
ReplyDeleteI'd like to know which mountain you climbed, which childhood toy you saved and why you had your pic in the newspaper.
You've done quite a bit, Ms. Annie. I'd like to try doing your portrait sometime (if you want me to).
That really is a lovely view from your kitchen window!
ReplyDeleteThis list is a fun idea...
Who's the famous person you met? Eventually, you're going to have to tell all in detail, you know... inquiring minds and all that:)
I don't know the name of the mountain but it was between Green Mountain Falls, Colorado and Colorado Springs in the late 60's.
ReplyDeleteMy childhood toy is a small Santa that I always placed first on our Christmas tree since I was about four years old.
The Tulsa World Newspaper did a front page article about my poetry business June, 1983.
I guess each of those things could be a separate blog entry. Plus, I was on motorcycle rides a lot but I've got one story that is a doozie. I might have to write about that too.
Scarlet, I'm sure curious how you would answer some of these:)
Oh Linda, I have seen several celebrities but the one I really met and had a nice visit with was Ben Vereen, famous actor/singer/dancer who played Chicken George in ROOTS.
ReplyDeleteso how'd you like the caviar? is it tasty or is it an acquired taste?
ReplyDeletewhich loved one did you lose?
i love drive-in theaters!
Pretty cool!!!! I might try it!
ReplyDeleteCaviar was a HUGE disappointment. It was a very expensive brand also but just too salty for my taste.
ReplyDeleteI have lost too many loved ones. All missed greatly.
High school memories are filled with drive-in theaters. I don't think I was supposed to ever be there. My dad was the preacher:)
What a great list!
ReplyDeleteKay, I'll be checking to see if you decided to do this.
ReplyDeleteGreat pic...and great list! Sorry about the bee sting :(
ReplyDeleteThat's a great post.
ReplyDeleteLove the photo, it looks like stained glass.
Beautiful sunrise, Granny Annie. Funny, I took a photo of sunrise in my woods just this morning, from my kitchen window, that I am planning to post as soon as I get around to it. Not as pretty as yours, but not too bad. The meme looks like fun, and I can bold a lot of these. If I decide to do it, I just link back to you, right? And then I bold only the ones that apply to me, right? LOL. I'm not sure I know how to bold! LOL. Have to try and figure it out, I guess. I almost died as well, from alcohol poisoning when I was a kid. I have a story up about it somewhere in an older post. Been to Venice and in a gondola, climbed a mountain, had a broken bone, have not been in a movie, but been on live TV as a gues, and more. Not sure people want to read about all my adventures. I'll see. But I did enjoy your answers.
ReplyDeleteHave a great evening!
Renie
Great list and wonderful view can veg me out immediately..
ReplyDeleteHappy holidays

Love the list..when put out like that, its amazing all the things we have or have not done...I may put this on my blog also...
ReplyDeleteSounds like you have had a great xmas season so far with family and friends...What are your plans for New Years?
You've got an amazing view, Granny Annie !
ReplyDeleteI've done 31 of those things :)
I saw this on Kenju's and almost did it and then thought who cares about what I did! Now that I am intrigued by your list...maybe...who knows.
ReplyDeleteHi Annie,
ReplyDeleteLoved your list and noticed a strange thing.
You say you have seen the Leaning Tower of Pisa but NOT Michaelangelo's David. They are not far apart and yet you have only seen one of them.
I have seen Michaelangelo's David but NOT the Leaning tower of Pisa.
What's wrong with us?
This is a little like saying I have seen the Empire State Building but not the Statue of Liberty......
We have to get better Travel Agents!
