1. I went to four different elementary schools. I was an Air force brat and needless to say, we moved a lot.
2. When I wake up in the morning the first thing I do is make a latte. In fact, I have been making a morning latte for 28 years. Fortunately cappuccino machines have gotten a lot more sophisticated over the years.
3. I made my own wedding dress. I probably missed my calling by not studying fashion design. I love to sew and designed my own wedding dress. I actually had to make it twice, once out of muslin and the second time out of silk. And I am not sure why I chose to hand sew 1000 pearls to the lace. I am pretty sure you can buy lace with the pearls already attached.
4. I have been to Hawaii over 40 times. But 37 of the trips were for business.
5. I have been in two emergency landings. Both were on American Airlines.
6. I swam competitively through high school but apparently I was really slow. When my son was nine he found some of my old ribbons and we soon realized that he was already faster at nine than I was at 14. I tried to tell him the clocks were slower back then ...
7. I still, at age 49, cannot do a cartwheel. My sisters can attest to their many attempts to teach me how to do one, with or without vodka.
So now I need to find 7 bloggers to tag. I am on a hunt!

Wow.. interesting facts!! Isn't it wonderful when our children outperform us? Makes it so worthwhile!!
I love this (and so many others) of your paintings... ... the colors, the knife work.. create such a nice feeling!!
What a rich and sumptuous painting. It asserts itself, it is strong, and yet graceful too...
Your factoids are quite interesting. I personally think the emergency landing one is terrifying! And your wedding dress...wow! Now that is impressive!
p.s. I was just about to tag you too, that is funny...Marian got to you first!
Thanks Marian! I truly believe I was put on this earth to raise my boys ... and I do love it when they try to outperform their parents! Sadly it is happening all the time now!
Karen,
Making my wedding dress was a lot more fun than two emergency landings on a commercial jet ... I can promise you that. Funny that I travel so much with my job but still hate to fly. Now you know why!
