(8) Describe "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" of yourself

The Good - is that when I meet someone I give them a fair chance to get to know them.  Sometimes they say it only takes 20 seconds and you know if you like them or not but I rather give them a bit more.

The Bad - I have a bad way of worring too much and want to get over it even faster...  I don't want to sleep on it, I don't want to wait until it clears - I want it out of my life.  I struggle with that all the time.  If someone is mad at me - I want to know why now, not let them calm down and wait.  That is something I to work one more.

The Ugly of my self is that I have let my self go over the last couple of years and have been struggling with my weight.  I am now on a path to recovery and feel stronger than I have in the past, but it does not take much for me to fall down, but this time I feel better and believe that somtimes it takes two steps forward and continue to go forward... small steps are the best..

(7) - Recommend a book for us to read. Why do you think it's important?

I don't really have a book that I think is important, but actually one that some of you my not think is a good book,(s) but I actually think they are great.

50 Shades of Grey by E.L. James

Why you ask?  I thought that the sex in the book was way out there and a bit kinky, but actually the story line and plot was really good.  Do I think there are relationships like that in the world - I would think so and the Red Room is probably built in somone's house.

I have read the first two books in the series and I am working on the 3rd and the only reason I have not finished is was because Michelle came down and read all three books on my IPAD.  For Michelle to even read three books let alone four is an accomplishment and just tells me that that series is a  good read.

I have another book that I want to read and that is the The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls - it is waiting for me on my IPAD and I am looking forward to read it.  Michelle has read it and loved it...

Let me know what you think?

Day 6 -- oh where has the time gone already --

What is something you've always wanted to do but haven't?  Why not?

I want to be able to drive around the USA to visit all the sites.  I have been thru most of the states but only as a drive thru and not to stop and smell the flowers. 

The reason I had not was for the last 50 years I had no time, but we are seriously thinking we need to get us a little RV Mini Van and take our lovely dog Anna and do some serious road trips.  I don't believe this is something that won't happen, in fact I see it happening sooner than later....

Until later

If you could have dinner with any five people, who would they be?

I would want to be able to say someone famous, but really in my heart I would want to have a nice big family get together:  Although my family of five consists of myself, Stephen, Charlie, Stephanie and Michelle - I would have to say that is not fair since we have added, Julie, Aaron and Chase into our lives.  They are all considered my family and would really love to have that special time with all of them and enjoy a nice big celebration.

I have gone back to the PNW many of times since I moved down here and Charlie, Stephanie and Michelle have all come and visited already.  But I truly miss all of them.

So as you can see my family is very important to me and I would rather spend time with them instead of someone who is famous, celebrity or anything else..

Thanks for coming by and until later

What is your favorite childhood memory....

I have many childhood memories and I am trying to remember my favorite.  So I will give you a few of them:

I lived in Leesville, Louisiana on an Army base - we lived in a trailer and I have fond memories of my sister Susie and my brother Joe - climbing over a fence to go to our favorite hangout.  A place that you could find tadpoles in a pond.  We would catch them and just have a good old time and we would ride our bikes all over the place.

Another time was when I lived in Frankfurt Germany - being a Army brat I had quite a few adventures.  I remember fondly fighting with my brother in our huge stairwell (we lived in a building that we had six apartments in one stairwell)  -- our fights were not small - we fought going up and going down, to this day it is just a memory, but I enjoyed our little adventures... I know a fight is not something to enjoy but you have to know my brother....





Another fond memory was being in Explorer Group 709 - my best friend Lorrie and I enjoyed it so much.  We had gone on a camping trip that included guys and we played capture the flag.  I also got to ride in a police car and go with them on rounds. 

When I was sixteen I worked at the AAFES radio station in Germany and was able to meet Wolf Man Jack, to this day I still have his picture of me sitting on his lap... Go Wolf Man Jack - go...  Wish I could find that picture now........

Going further back - I remember going on what we call (Volksmarches) - but these were organized walks that went for miles.  When you were done marching you recieved a medal.  I have many of those medals still to this day. 

I always loved when my OMA and OPA would come visit - we would get up early and go for walks.  We would walk for miles in Germany and those were the best times I got to spend with them.

My fondest memory in my childhood is my Daddy - he fought for us in the Army and he loved each and everyone of us like crazy.  I remember we had to take his Army boots off when he came home, we had make sure that we were quiet when he came home so that he could rest.  I also remember those Soccer games that he loved to watch and although they were in a different language you could always know when someone scored -- GOOOOAAAALLLLL all sounded the same...

As you can see I had many memories and I could probably write a book but until then I guess maybe I will tell my grandchildren all my stories.
See ya until later

Again linking up with Sarah...

I am not sure I am doing this correctly but here you go!

Linking up with Sarah for her 15 day challenge!

(2) Write a (few) six-word memoir(s). 

It took me a while to understand what this really means - but I will try. 

....... Live your life to the fullest.......  

      Yep I know this is cheesy but really - it sums up what I am doing right now....

I know that I have been given the best opportunity to live my life to the fullest.  I get to travel, I get to go places I have never been, visit family. 

We are living our retirement to the fullest, isn't that what we are suppose to do when we retire, or at least semi-retire since I still have a part-time job....
