(1) Early in life I learned that I could not fly like Superman, even if I wore a red towel pinned to my shirt when I jumped out of our tree. Other disappointments followed, such as learning I could not grow up to be Dale Evans because that job was already taken. Still, I have had a good life.
(2) My daughter and I used to be antique dealers with three booths and sold almost as much as we took home. Our greatest purchase, in my opinion, was a beautiful oriental screen we bought at an estate sale--just as a policeman closed down the sale because the seller had no city permit. We still laugh about what a sight we must have been, hoofing it down the street carrying the screen between us.
(3) When we lived in Florida I submitted so many stories to the local newspaper that the editor asked me to write for them. I wrote and wrote and the owner credited me with doubling their subscriptions.
(4) I drove on the Autobahn in Germany. Very lovely experience. Very clean country.
(5) My husband and I have loved visiting Ireland. I wouldn't let him kiss the Blarney Stone, though. I mean, he can spin a good tale now and enough is enough. LOL
I love the image of the two of you walking down the street caryying the screen! I'm sure the effort was worth it...those kinds of treasures are hard to find!
ReplyDeleteHi Caroline and Emma!
ReplyDeleteCool five facts! I agree, the image of you gals carrying that screen is pretty cute to ponder. You cracked me up with not letting your hubs kiss the Blarney Stone. I wouldn't have let mine either. LOL
Thanks for making me smile, ladies! :)
