My dad is an inventor. Growing up, I was always his guinea pig to test new projects (which usually didn't work). I remmeber testing the styrofoam paddleboat in the pool one year. It completely fell apart on me, as the glue wasn't waterproof!!! I loved his ingenuity, and learning from his mistakes made me a better engineer.

My own favorite memory  of my Dad is the Father-Daughter dance at Immaculata Academy (my high school) - Dad made me feel like a princess - we had a night out - just the two of us -  he bought me a wrist corsage, took me out to dinner and at the school we danced, danced and danced some more laughing the entire time- we had a great date!  Thank you Dad!

Thank you everyone for sharing your memories!

Until next time- God bless!

I've been Tagged!!

I've been tagged by Katie - how exciting. It's the Middle Name Game! I have to post the rules before I give my answers so here goes:

• List one fact about yourself for each letter of your middle name.
• Each fact must begin with that letter.
• If you don't have a middle name use your maiden name.

If you're tagged you need to up-date your blog with your middle name and answers. At the end of your post, you need to tag one person for each letter of your middle name. Oh and don't forget to leave them a comment and tell them they've been tagged.

My middle name is Lynn so here goes -

L - Laughter - it warms my heart - I love to laugh - I love to hear others laughing!  My grandson Noah told me "Gramma you laugh too much!!"  No never too much!

Y - Yearning - I yearn to learn - each and every day I try to learn something new.

N - Natural - that be me - for the most part I only mess around with eye makeup - what you see is what you get!  My hairdresser suggests a visit about every 6-8 weeks, I usually stretch it to 12-14 weeks - so by then my gray highlights are pretty bright!

N - Nifty - I know this one is lame...sorry - my mind went blank on "N" words...but yes, nifty - very good - that is my life!

This is really tougher than it seems - I will tag - Saraleigh, Melanie, Leslie, and Tonya - okay ladies have fun!

Until next time - God bless!
