Tag I'm It. Six Random Things..

Nicole tagged me yesterday. I now get to tell you, my blogging friends, six random things about myself. This should be fun and help us get to know one another better.

Rule 3: Six random things about me.
1. I started wearing glasses when I was in the 2nd grade. They were made of wire and were round - horrible looking.
2. I took piano lessons for 8 years but my last teacher let me go because she did not think I was interested in learning. She liked classical music, I didn't.
3. My first real job was at a hospital as a secretary in the x-ray department. One of the girls who was in training was the person who was responsible for my meeting my husband. She was a friend of now one of my sister-in-laws. She was also in our wedding.
4. One of my best friends at the church we attended was the piano player for the church. She played beautifully - by ear. When she had her last baby I was the only person in the church that could play the piano so I filled in for her. The only problem was, the choir had to sing only the songs I could play. Bummer.
5. My mother, the oldest of 13, was born in Wilkes County. My great grandmother was pregnant with her youngest and my grandmother was pregnant with her oldest, (my mother). My grandmother walked across the mountain (sorry, I don't know how far it was) to see her new baby sister who was born on October 23, 1905. While she was there she gave birth on the 25th to my mother. The story I've always heard was that my mother was placed in the cradle with her aunt (my great Aunt Alice) and they were both rocked in that cradle. They were always very close and when I was born, my mother named me after my great aunt.
6. When I was 20 another one of my best friends had joined the Air Force. I went on a bus to Egland Air Force base in Florida to meet her. (My first trip ever by myself). From there she and I went to Miami, boarded a plane to Nassau in the Bahamas to visit a previous pastor and his wife who were working in a church there. We flew back to Miami and took a train to Ft. Lauderdale to visit a friend who lived there and from there we took a train home. I was so glad to get back home safely.

Here are my six tag-ees: (Click on their name to go to their blog)
1. Plant Lady who loves God, loves planting (flowers, veggies, gourds, etc) and is very good at telling stories about her life with Mr. Plant Lady and recently giving her View from Her Window.
2. Lynn who is a great inspiration and has been very supportive of me. She actually has two blogs.
3. Joyfulsister(Lori) whom I am just getting to know. She writes a lot of poems, songs and she and her husband have a music ministry. She shares a lot of this on her blog and I'm sure you will enjoy visiting her and she will make you feel right at home.
4. Debrah is another blogger whom I'm just getting to know. She has a wonderful blog about her prayer ministry.
5. ising4him(Dale), another new blogger who has some health problems but a wonderful outlook on life.
6. nothingcanseparateme(Kim), another new blogger who has visited my blog. I'm looking forward to getting to know more about her and all the new ones I've listed.

Everyone in the Bible Study has become very dear to my heart, so I had a hard time choosing also. I would love to hear from any one else the six random things about you, so feel free to leave your answers under my comments.

God bless all of you and thanks for being a part of my life.
