TAGGED!!!!

My good friend Melonie from "Classy Scrappers Forum" has tagged me - I realized I was tagged in April and since I live such a boring life I'm just going to repeat it!! With a couple little revisions! ;-) I know, I know........ that's cheating. But I won't tell if you won't!

Each player starts with 7 random facts/habits about themselves. People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their seven things, as well as these rules. At the end of your blog, you need to choose 7 people to get tagged and list their names. Don't forget to leave them a comment telling them that they have been tagged and to read your blog! OK, here goes:

1. I have a tattoo on my wrist of a butterfly with stardust flying behind it. I got it when I turned 40!
2. I met my husband at work, but I had to "retire" when we got married because married couples aren't allowed to work at the same place of business, even though it is a family run business with tons of their family working there!
3. I am 8 years younger than my sister and 6 years younger than my brother. I am a happy surprise my Mother says!
4. If it was truly possible I would live somewhere that has lots of land and have tons and tons of animals. Seriously, I mean 120 dogs and 150 cats at least! Just call me the weird old cat/dog lady.
5. I grew up in a golfing family - my Father, brother and sister were all champions... my brother is actually a golf pro. I hate golf. ;-)
6. I hate cooking but my daughter is a fantastic chef... go figure.
7. I can't draw worth beans or carry a tune but my son is a talented artist and a talented musician/singer... go figure again.
Oh yeah, I'm adding a number 8. I HATE BAREFEET!!!! My own that is. I wear socks 24/7... except in the shower. I can't stand the feeling of my feet being bare.

I think everyone I know who has blogs has been tagged already!

MELLOW MONDAY....

Today was a nice day...... one of those days where you spend with your hubby out shopping for a bit, out for lunch - Chinese buffet and then back home to chill and work in the backyard.... gorgeous weather for a day like this. We bought some cute new dragonfly lights to hang in the gazebo, an adorable new birdhouse that is a clay watercan with a warty old toad on top...... we hung those up and added lots more fairy lights all around the patio.... looks so pretty. The sprinkler was on and I even played in it for awhile. Baxter enjoyed laying in the cold wet grass to cool off. Here's a few pics of our day today.......
