Another Meme

I was tagged by Susie to do a meme a while back so here it is. I’m a bit slow about doing these memes, so please forgive me. Susie also inadvertently renamed my blog to, “Abandoned in Paradise”, which I really love and if I would have thought of it myself, I’d use it because that’s just what my life has been like since I met and married Jimmy…Paradise. Now onward to the meme.

INSTRUCTIONS: Remove the blog in the top spot from the following list and bump everyone up one place. Then add your blog to the bottom slot, like so.

Now if you’d like to join in and do this meme on your own, just tag yourself, follow the instructions above and then answer the following questions.

“What were you doing 10 years ago?” Ten years ago Jimmy was taking me on a month long trip around the United States on the back of his motorcycle. It was a dream that he had always had and was on the top of his list of things to do when he retired from work. Unfortunately he developed cancer first, so his dream trip was postponed until he recovered, but we’ve made up for lost time and we’ve taken many cross country trips since then.

“What were you doing 1 year ago?” One year ago during the month of July I was mostly blogging about flowers, my little friend Cucoo, writing memes and most importantly on July 19^th I met Rachel of Sliding Through Life in person. What a treat that was and ever since then we have become close friends.
