This is the story of the journey of my life. Travel can be hard work. So much to see. So little time. So many missed connections. So much lost luggage. But every stop, every detour, every challenge along the way provides a lesson to be learned. Traveling mercies to us all.

I was reading Shelly's blog (see yesterday's blog for a link) and saw a list of "memes" she responded to. Quite frankly, I don't even know what "meme" means, but I like writing lists of things, so this is the perfect lazy day kinda blog. So here goes...

Hi :-) Thanks for sharing these! It's so fun to get to know one another better - tidbits at a time.
By the way, you can PRAY for me ANY TIME! Your prayers for my time with my mother were quite effective. We had a great visit together - with a good balance of serious talking and fun. Thank you, thank you!

p.s. I love your blog pictures :-)
I'll never wear any of those things again either! And I hate all those things too, although I wouldn't have a hard time adding a few more to that list!
I so enjoyed reading your lists!!
I don't know what a meme really means either.. just that it's a blogger "game" "fun type thing" listing things from whatever prompt it is titled.
Take care and happy day today :)
