Tag, you're IT!

I've been tagged by my friend, Victoria, at http://victoriacummings.blogspot.com/ for a game of Meme. I am supposed to tell you seven things that you probably don't know about me and then tag seven more bloggers.For those whom I tag, here's what to do: The rules of the game are this–Once you are tagged, link back to the person who tagged you.Post the rules on your blog.Post 7 random or weird facts about yourself on your blog.Tag 7 people and link to them.Comment on their blog to let them know they have been tagged.

1. I have been married 5 times, twice for less than 6 months (move over, Liz Taylor!).

2. We brought a pony for our young daughters (ages 3 and 4) in our '78 Suburban's backseat, after putting the seats up, opening the windows, and lining the floorspace with old barn blankets!

3. I left Ohio for FL when I was 19, taking only a suitcase, a typewriter, $5 and the clothes on my back, when it was -20 degrees F,with a windchill of -30F. I rode with a pregnant underage friend, her boyfriend, and guy friend of his in a 1948 Dodge/Chrysler/Plymouth (that is what the marking on the car said!). It was 75 degrees F when I got to Daytona Beach, and all but the $5 in my pocket was stolen out of the car when we went for something to eat.
The folks I came down with abandoned me for not having enough money, while I was in the bathroom!

4. I wore only flipflops for the next two years, making my feet go from a size 11 AAAA to an 11B!

5. I rode my first owned horse the fifteen miles home on the beach, from the 'country' in Port Orange, to Ponce Inlet, with only a halter and reins made of braided baling twine, and never did own a saddle for Sargent Major the two years we spent together!

6. I could spend all my waking hours creating, reading, and gardening, WITH the cats' and dogs' help, of course! I miss ALL my horses, 'specially Thunder, all the time. He was great at weeding!

7. I HATE to go to bed, but love it, once I am there, but can't sleep when it is hot, and sleep with the windows cracked and our outside bedroom door open all year long!

Now, you next lovely taggees, let's see what you have to share!
