I'm IT ~ I've been tagged

Michelle at "preciouspeas" tagged me.  So, here goes . . . . .

1.)  Where were you (and what were you doing) 10 years ago?  ~Manly, two little bugs and I were living in a little apartment and looking to buy our first house.  (There was another little one on the way.)  I was doing day care for two families, Manly was building log homes with his dad up in the mountains.  He was often away all week and we saw him only on the weekend.  (Funny how history sometimes repeats itself ~wry smile~.)

2.)  What are 5 things on my "To-Do" list?  ~Our older children are off school for the next two weeks.  So, Manly will take them to work as much as he can so that I can get my "Spring Cleaning" done (now that it is offically SUMMER).  1.) Get business cards ordered/made for Manly;  2.)  Plant the poor pepper plants that are still in the peat pots they came in;  3.) Help my dear friend to clean/organize her home;  4.)  Spring Clean:  the kitchen, the living room, the bedrooms, the playroom, EVERYTHING! ~ tackling one room/area each day;   5.)  Catch up on correspondences ~ I have let too many calls, letters, e-mails sit without a responce.  6.) Make 16 batches of granola ~ the ingredients have been sitting in my pantry for a month. 

3.)  What are some snacks that I enjoy?  Apples and carrots dipped in peanut butter, GORP (raisins, peanuts, dry cereal, and M&M's of equal proportions mixed together)

4.)  What would I do if I were a billionaire?  We truely have a heart for the "widows and fatherless".  We would dump a large amount into our friends' inner-city ministry.  Donate to the battered women's home.  Build our dream home debt free.  Then we would want to adopt as many children as we could and hire the help to LOVE on each precious blessings. 

5.)  Places I have lived:  I have lived in Colorado ALL my life.  I currently live just one mile from the childhood home my parents bought (and still live in) when I was 4 years old.  I went to college for 2 years on the other side of the divide, but that is the furthest I moved away.

Who would I like to tag . . . . . ?  I think everyone I know and whose blog I read has already been tagged.  So, if you have not been tagged yet please answer the questions and drop me a note to let me know that you did so that I may stop in and see what you wrote.

Carrie Ann,

Thanks for answering the tag! We just were transfered from Colorado a year ago, what a small world!

The dress you sewed for your daughter is so adorable. My girls love dresses like those too. I wish we had a better fabric store closer to us with those cute calico prints. I just got some material the other day to sew some vintage slips for the girls.

Best wishes on your new home. Sounds like you need the extra room fast!
Blessings,
Michelle
