The rules are:
1. Each person must post 11 facts about themselves.
2. Answer 11 Questions the tagger has given you and give 11 questions for the people you've tagged.
3. Choose 11 people and link them in your post. Tell them you've tagged them.
4. Remember no tags back
So first, 11 statements about myself, though coming up with things you don't know isn't easy:
1. I married the same man twice.
2. I went to so many schools that I actually have to number the grades and match to cities to figure out where they were when.
3. I really, really like to swim nude.
4. Never ever wear shoes indoors and caftans are preferred for body cover.
5. 68 and I still don't have grey hair except for the "skunk stripe" in front there since I was 35. (Just whacked off all my hair to check).
6. Reading for me is like watching a movie. I get totally lost in the "pictures" to the point that I have to be touched or talked to loudly to "come out of it".
7. I'm horrible at remembering names unless there is real attached emotional content. Too many "goodbyes" and need to erase. Now I seem to erase immediately to save myself the time and trouble. Trying to get better about this.
8. My middle names are both surnames _ Jamieson Durward
9. My first crush was Richard Todd - I was seven. My mind has never changed about what constitutes an "Oh My - Heart Be Still!!" handsome man.
10. I have been driving some form of mechanized vehicle since the age of 8 (tractor), have had a license since age 15 and have never had an accident outside of a parking lot or a moving violation (deserved speeding tickets) in 60 years.
11. Really want to live in New York or Australia for at least a year.

Roughly once an hour - I have a GREAT imagination

Immediately reinstitute all music, drama, and literature classes even if it meant tossing out some of the "basics"

7. Who is your favorite sports team player?

8. If you could travel in a spaceship to any planet, which planet would you like to visit and why?

Love the graphic. It looks like my living room. Not.
I've said this many times about you (and TO you) "What an interesting life you lead!"
Married twice to the same man, no grey hair, caftans and that sexy by-the-pool photograph I love so much. And Richard Tod.d is dreamy
I knew you would make this meme sing. Loved it. You've made me want to try swimming in the nude.
P.S. Maybe you should create a dungeon of your own for people who drive-by and don't comment. I hate that too. It feels kinda creepy to me at times. Do you know I've had the same two what I now call "stalkers" for years? And never one comment.
Nice German word, liebster. Over the weekend I traced another line of ancestry back to Germany. That's 2 branches now.
This latest discovery ties me to the Moravian Church settlements in Pennsylvania, of all things.
Richard Todd was a yummy sort of fellow wasn't he. I have found myself daydreaming of being in King Henry's court while watching him in the "The Rose and The Sword" (by Disney).
He was still remarkably good looking before he passed away at 90. My favorite bit of trivia about in him. In the movie "The Longest Day", he played the man who had been his commanding officer in real life while another actor played the young Richard Todd.
