Soooo, here's what happens when you can't move around on your feet too much. You blog a lot more than usual.
Last week Robin over at Be Still and Know... taged me with this meme
Here are the tag rules:
1. Link to the person who tagged you.
2. Post the rules on your blog.
3. Write six random things about yourself.
4. Tag six people at the end of your post and link to them.
5. Let each person know they've been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.
6. Let the tagger know when your entry is up.
So here are six random things about me:
1. I have two places in this world that I dearly would love to visit before I die or the Lord raptures the church. One is the English countryside. I have been in love with England since I was in high school and have devoured many a book that takes place in the English countryside. Specifically I would like to visit Yorkshire where all the James Herriot novels take place and Shrewsbury where the Brother Cadfael stories take place. I want to stay in a little country inn and have a real English country tea. Oh I could go on and on about this but lets just leave it with, I really would like to visit the English countryside someday.
The other place I want to visit is Israel. I want to walk where my Lord walked and see all the places that I've read about in my Bible.
2. When I was thirteen I had a crush on the horse racing jockey Steve Cauthen and wanted to become a jockey myself...just so I could meet him. LOL! The things kids think!
3. If someone told me I HAD to have plastic surgery done but I could pick any part of my body for the remodel I would choose my nose. I have one of those rather heavy Northern European jobbers that are really not all that feminine looking.
4. I love going to Disneyland. I haven't been there in about 20 years but I bring it up every year as a possible vacation destination. The kids are starting to catch the bug too, I think we are wearing Husband down.
5. Even though I handle myself pretty well in front of and around large groups of people I am at heart a rather shy person. There are times when I would happily fade away into the wall paper. I also hate trying to start a conversation with a newly met person. I often can't get past the weather. It's really no reflection on the person, it's really about my own self-conciousness which I've been told is at the heart of shyness.
6. I'm a small town pastor's daughter. I grew up in a fish bowl. I was so happy to go away to college where no one knew who my Dad was or what he did for a living. I loved the anonymity!
Now I live in a small town. Husband is the Youth Leader at our church. God has a sense of humor that's for sure. The fish bowl isn't quite as transparent and it's not the same fish bowl but...I live in it again!
So there you are...six random things about me! Now let's see, who will I tag? Ummm...okay...
Shawna over at We Lift Our Eyes Up
Gina over at Ward and June
Amy over at Sonshine Cottage
Jenn over at Grace and Glory
Frances over at Cherish the Days (aka Woman of Faith)
Linda over at 2nd Cup Of Coffee

I enjoyed reading the six random things about you. It's always fun to find out more about our blogging friends!
My hair dresser lived in England until she married and then came to the states. I'll have to ask her if she is familiar with some of the places you named. I don't remember what part of England she
lived in.
There are times that I also would like to "fade away into the wallpaper" I wonder if we all feel that way at times. .
