What do you do to let others know you love them?
What do others do that make you feel loved?
One thing I do is tell them. I have no problem saying I love you to the people I love. I also like to give hugs. And I try to let them know how much I appreciate them.
To be perfectly honest – I don’t often “feel” loved although I must be or my family wouldn’t put up with me. LOL

What do you like best and least about where you live?
Ah this is an easy one. I love living on a lake. It’s so peaceful and nature is all around us. One of the best things are my neighbors. I have wonderful neighbors. What I like least is the fact that we’re 20 miles from town. There are 2 very small (expensive) gas stations that carry a small inventory of stuff closer – one is 3 miles away and the other is 7 miles away but a trip to town to get grocerys, go to drugstore, etc takes usually half a day by the time you get back.

What did you study in school, or what was a favorite subject?
Did you receive your education somewhere other than school?
In high school I took all college prep courses because I always planned to go to college. High school was easy for me and I loved school although I wasn’t very popular. I was too much of a ‘nerd’ I guess but I did have friends. Art classes were my favorites. After high school I enrolled at Clemson University majoring in Architecture. My dream was to be an architect and design buildings which my daddy (who was a builder) would then build. In retrospect I wish I had just majored in art and become a commercial artist. Architecture was extremely hard. First of all at that time Clemson had not been coed for many years so there were 2700 male students and 300 female students. In the School of Architecture the freshman class included 2 females of which I was one so in many of my classes I was the only girl in the class. Very intimidating for someone as self conscience as I was at that time. I lived on campus in a dorm and attended classes 6 days a week, Monday thru Friday 8am – 5pm and on Saturday 8am – noon. In addition I was usually back at the lab working on projects every night so I had very little free time. Plus the fact that in high school I never learned how to study because it was so easy for me so I was really struggling in college. In the middle of my second semester one of my lungs collapsed and I missed 3 weeks of school. I got so far behind that I decided to drop out of school and go back in the fall and change my major. Of course I got a full time job, bought a car and never went back full time. Over the years I’ve taken various classes at local colleges and even some over the internet but I’ve always regreted not going back to college and finishing.

You are going to live on this absolutely amazing island with stunning surroundings, a white beach, magnificent trees, waterfalls, no poisonous insect on it (hahaha, so no spiders or ugly thingies)…it’s a real paradise this island. Rich in food and water as well, so no worries on that front either.
You are allowed to bring only three items from your home (something you already have).
Now: what would they be and what would you do with them and what do you imagine you might create????
I’m assuming that this perfect island has electricity. I’d take my computer, my digital camera and my library card.

At digitalscrapbookplace.com they have a blog prompt each day. They ask a question and you answer it on your blog. I think I’ll give it a shot but don’t know if I’ll do it every day or not but you may learn a little more about me in the process.

I went to visit my sister on Friday and was suppose to come back home on Monday. I actually came home on Sunday because my sister must have the hardest bed that was ever made. It was killing me! It sure does feel good to sleep on my bed again.
The heat wave continues. Heat indexes up to 110 every day. It’s too miserable to do anything outside. I really feel sorry for people who have to work out in this kind of heat.
Fluffy got a bath and groom today. She looks so pretty. My baby. LOL
