A Random Meme

Camille, at Croque-Camille, has tagged me with a Six-Random-Things-About-Me meme. I thought about listing six silly things that would probably be meaningless and hopefully humorous, but decided that I would really open up and share six things about me that show you a look into who I am. But before I do that, here are the rules:

1. Link to the person who tagged you.
2. Post the rules on your blog.
3. Write six random things about yourself.
4. Tag six people at the end of your post and link to them.
5. Let each person know they’ve been tagged and leave a comment on their blog.
6. Let the tagger know when your entry is up.

So here are six things you may or may not want to know about me.

1. My favorite color is purple. I really, really love purple. My bedroom is purple and I drove a purple car for ten years. My granddaughter calls me the "Purple Grandma."

2. I was a hippie back in the 60s. Peace.

3. My favorite movie is The Wizard of Oz.

4. I won the San Diego Spelling Bee when I was in fifth grade. (I was a writer and a wordie even back then!)

5. My little brother was adopted from Korea. He passed away on Monday. My trip to Florida last month was to visit him--to say goodbye and to let him know that I love him. I will be forever thankful that we got to spend that time together. Family is so very important and it's really important to let the people you love know that you love them. Love is the only thing you get to take with you.

6. I believe in reincarnation--I've written several books about it--so
I know I'll get to be with my brother again.

And now I get to tag six people to find out six random things about them:

1. Teresa, at Mexican American Border Cooking.
2. Meg, at Megan's Munchies.
3. Reeni, at Cinnamon, Spice, and Everything Nice.
4. Joan, at Foodalogue.
5. Arlene, at The Food of Love.
6. Megan, at Megan's Cookin.

If you weren't tagged, feel free to share six random things about yourself, either in the comments or on your blog. I love getting to know foodies. :)

Gloria, one of my favorite movies is the Wizrd of Oz too! How do you like that? Have you seen Tin Man? It's based on the Wizard of Oz Movie I really enjoyed it. But,sweetie, there isn't much more about me you don't know. Other than????? I'll do the write up tomorrow, then you'll see. My prayers are still with you and your brother. May he be singing with the Angels.

Reeni said...

I'm so, so sorry to hear about your brother. Lots of prayers and hugs. I love the Wizard of Oz too! But it's not my all time favorite. I was a good speller too. I didn't win any spelling bees but I always got straight 100's plus the bonus words. Thanks for sharing and for the tag!

Gloria, My condolences on your loss.

I posted the meme (with a little griping which I hope you don't mind). Was just being honest. In the end, I enjoyed doing it.

Meg said...

I loved learning more about you. Now...I am tagged and will have to share some facts about me!hmmmm...what shall I share?

ARLENE said...

Gloria, my sympathy on the loss of your brother.

Thanks for visiting my blog. I'm going to give some thought to my 6 favorite things. I'll be sure to let you know when the meme is up on my blog.

Sorry, but I don't do chili, though my SO would love it and would drool over Foodycat's game pie. I will prepare venison sauerbraten for him, but really hate touching the meat. I make gagging noises, LOL.

Megan said...

Gloria, How nice that you thought of me. Thank you!
I'm so sorry about the lost of your brother. Big hugs to you. Life is so precious and love is the key. Bless you my friend.

Meg said...

Reading back through the comments, I realized that I didn't finish mine. My thoughts and prayers are with your family in this time of loss. Just know that your brother will always be with you in your heart!

What thoughtful answers! My heart goes out to you and your family.
