Tagged! ...You're It!

Well, how ‘bout that: It seems I’ve been tagged.

By Sigrid Frensen, specifically, a wonderfully talented artist whose art I have long admired. I didn’t realize until now, though, that she is from the Netherlands! I traveled there some years ago and absolutely fell in love with that country. Be sure to visit her blog...

Tagging Rules:

1. Link to your tagger and list these rules.
2. Share 7 interesting or random facts about yourself on your blog.
3. Tag 7 people at the end of your post, leaving their names as well as links to their blogs,
4. Leave a comment on each of their blogs, letting them know they’ve been tagged.

Now that I’m actually doing this, I realize just how phenomenally boring I must be! LOL I would say these are 7 random facts, not particularly interesting!

1) During my 54 years, I have lived:
on the outskirts of Manhattan,
in the Shenandoah Valley of VA, where I raised my son, Eric,
and now in Cary, NC. (I guess that means I’m a damn Yankee? Aren’t they the ones who come south and then don’t leave?)

2) I was a single parent for many years, and as a result, I am very independent-natured. My son, Eric, (who will be 32 next month,) is the best thing I ever did.

3) Joe and I met each other coming out of a movie theater, after seeing the movie “The Magdalene Sisters.”

4) I’m teaching myself how to paint with watercolors, which will probably take me a lifetime.

5) I have my M.A. in English, and taught at James Madison University in VA for several years.

6) I’m a second child. I have an older sister, a younger sister, and a younger brother. (I’m a Libra, but I’m never home on my birthday.)

7) I work as an Admissions Officer for Duke University’s Nicholas School of the Environment and travel all over the country, recruiting prospective students for our graduate professional degree programs.

Wasn’t that exciting? (See? I’ve saved you, now, from having to read the book..)
