    those were the days, huh lpojoga? Gathering in eggs from the hen house, milking the cow, picking fresh tomatoes, butterbeans, etc. I miss those days. Of course, I'm thankful it's much easier now..........don't get me worngSurprised

    True - I have climed many trees as a kid....built tree houses, and even had a tree house with one bedroom/kitchen in a TREE.. I had lots of boy cousins and one brother, so had to do that kind of stuff if I was going to play. But it was a blast!!!

    The next person usually tries to get around 8 hours of sleep at night

    true, to climbing trees as a child, you know, I have 100's of trees on our property and have the grandkids 11 and 6 nearly every weekend, they have never even asked or thought to climb a tree.  I think everything is just too electronic now days

    I too picked the eggs out of the chicken house for my mom.  It is so much easier to just go to the store now.  We use to butcher our own hogs and cows and couldn't do it for nothing now.  I can remember the yard being a bloody mess.

    The next person has a lunch date with someone this week.

    freshly picked fruit was the best! it sure was fun to do those things as a kid. but i bet it wasn't much fun for the grownups, who had to keep everything in check, clean the yard and henhouse, take care of the trees and garden, besides their daytime jobs.

    my grandparents had planted a tree for each of us grandkids, besides the many other trees they had in the yard, so we could all claim ownership on some sort of fruit (mine was a cherry tree, and i was trading my cherries for whatever my brother and cousins had to offer). ok, i stop :-)

    i don't know of any lunch date for this week. i love bike rides!

    the next person has a dinner date this week.

    The next person has ridden some sort of unusual animal (I rode a camel).

    MissS - That would be so cool to ride a camel!! or an ELEPHANT I love watching them.They're so strong, but seem to move so gently.

    False to wall climbing---unless you consider being impatient waiting on test results, therapy to start, etc. Then I start climbing the walls, But for some reason I don't think the kind of walls you're talking aboutUndecided

    Sometimes, but my favorite evening snack is 94% fat-free buttered popcorn. 

    I'm a grandma once, so far,  and he's a joy to behold.

    Candie - I'm so excited for you.  Wonderful new's all the way around!  Congratulations!  This is truly an amazing time! 

    False to a foot thingamajig, but I did have my first spa pedicure ever just before Hawaii and I loooved it!  I have very ticklish feet and thought my reflexes might kick the poor girt, but it actually felt very nice. 

    True to climbing walls the way IC4909 does, especially before scans.

    The next persons veins are unforgiving.  (Mine have become quite gun-shy to needles!)

    False to unforgiving veins. Thank God for my port! And the one vein they use every 3 weeks for blood work is still holding up! Must be a tough booger!

    I also love popcorn...and cereal....

    Candie-congratulations granny! I hope to be a grandma someday. My dd is still in college, so that's all that's on her mind right now. But she's young, so maybe someday..........BTW, great news on tests results! WhewWink

    Don't have a foot thingamajig, but I do love getting pedicures.

    The next person is a "morning" person!

    True-most of the time, but I'm a night person too. I hate to go to bed, it feels like a waste of time, although I know it's neccessary!

    false to work, have been shopping

    I like the zoo if the temp. is 70 or below

    You know that grandbabys have a way of having their very own name for their grandma.  My mom was called nanny and the grandkids i guess picked up on that and called me nana.  I was a grandma in my 30's I tried to get the first one to call me honey but no way would he.

    What work do you do that you have to work 9 to 9 that is some long hours, both you day and evening is gone.

    I have canned stuff before don't do it anymore, we eat up the garden stuff or freeze it now.

    No wedding for me,

    The next person has plans for the weekend already (we do, shopping with the 11 year old)

    I work in customer service and I work three days a month 9-9 and one Saturday a month. I need to do it as the 5-9 on weekdays and Sat. is overtime.
