I've enjoyed reading everyone's comments....How fun. I've enjoyed reading everyone's comments. Here are mine.<BR/>1)Just the word dessert makes me happy. Anything smooth and creamy. It can be chocloate pie with mounds of whipped cream. Any cream pies or cheesecakes with fresh fruit. (I just pulled one out of the oven and I will put fresh blueberries on it-for my blueberry lov'in Dad who is coming for a BBQ tonight:)) <BR/>2)My Mom loved to follow the life of the Royal Family. As a little girl she remembers her Mom having her whole family dress up and stand at the edge of their small farm in Manitoba to wave at the Qwueen as she passed by on the train. I wasn't named after anyone in particular but she wanted my name to sound regal. Kathleen Ann. I am not regal, but with a name like that I could certainly pretend. <BR/>3)We have traveled to Peru and Africa and had a wonderful time. But I too would like to travel across Canada with a trailer and of course our Harley in tow. I have enjoyed pictures and stories of several friends at work who have done this and they have peeked my interest! <BR/>4)Fall. I love change. We are carefree in the Summer months which we totally enjoy, but when the leaves start to change and the air gets cooler I enjoy getting back to the structure of life. I most enjoy my walks in the Fall.<BR/>4)It would be a very daring move for me to get my motor bike license. I don't think I will take the dare. I'll enjoy the ride from behind my husband. <BR/> Jill, let us know if you take up your 'dream dare' and we will come and laugh with you.

Favorite dess...So I will throw my 2 cents in too.<BR/>1. Favorite dessert has to be raspberries dipped in dark chocolate. Drool, drool.<BR/>2. Ask my Mom. I know she picked it out when she was around 11 years old. I'm pretty sure it has something to do with Laura Ingles WIlder though, being a librarian and all. (Ooh, she's going to be mad at me for not knowing this answer for sure!)<BR/>3. Seeing as how I pretty much DO go anywhere for 6 months without concern of money (I get paid to live whereever I want and be a nurse) I would have to say Australia. Or South Africa. I have never been to either, and it would be easy because I could speak the language easily!<BR/>4. My favorite season is summer. I love the freedom of going outside without worrying about what I am wearing, and the feel of the warmth on my body. Not to mention that it is my birthday, my favorite holiday! I also just live for those long lazy days and hot nights!<BR/>5.The most daring thing I would like to do is to get married someday. What a committment! How scary! The REST OF YOUR LIFE!!! Very daring.<BR/>I guess there is just 5.

I was able to meet Charlotte in Germany when I was 18 and corresponded with her til she died. Rose passed away when my mom was pregnant with me but Charlotte sent my mom a beautiful China tea cup with the name Rose on it embossed in 18k gold which I still have.<BR/>3-I have had the privelage of traveling a fair amount in my younger years. I have been to 17 countries and have traveled across Canada to quebec but I would love to see the east coast........<BR/>4-in fall because that is my most favorite time of year, I got married in Fall and would love to see all these places with my hubby.<BR/>5-Well I have been para-sailing and for me that is very daring since I don't like heights, but I have a dream that my family and I would run the relay race in the marathon with me crossing the finish line. That would be an amazing thing.........just need to be in shape and healthy which getting there would be the amazing thing.<BR/>those are my meme.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36134113.post-25134449459737094342007-07-09T11:23:00.000-07:002007-07-09T11:23:00.000-07:00Hi Lovella and Jill! I enjoyed reading your answer...Hi Lovella and Jill! I enjoyed reading your answers. I think it is interesting that everyone seems to love autumn the best--I know I sure do. Even if we don't have real seasons here in Southern California, there is a noticeable downturn in the temperature, and the air gets clear and crisp. A few trees change to beautiful colors...<BR/>Thanks for playing. I see you experienced gals leave the meme open to anyone who wants to play and don't tag others...that seems like a good approach to me.<BR/>Lovella, you have the most wonderful photos and way of writing, I really enjoy seeing your blog.<BR/>Jill, I love your sense of humor, and your hats.Sara at Come Away With Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07677354270954094291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36134113.post-37391956504403611542007-07-09T10:58:00.000-07:002007-07-09T10:58:00.000-07:00You write so beautifully! Thank you for making you...You write so beautifully! Thank you for making your space available.<BR/>Here's my answers:<BR/>1. Favorite summer dessert: I flashed back to root beer popsicles, walking down to the little corner market with my dime or was it 15 cents and enjoying the cold treat on the walk home, dodging bees who wanted to share my treat. Banana flavor ones were pretty special too.<BR/>2. My middle name Ann is from my great grandmother Anna, but I think it was just a popular name at the time. My folks have never said where they got Jill, but "Jack and Jill" was a song on a record my four year old brother owned at the time. The flip side was Humpty Dumpty, and when informed he had a new baby sister named Jill, he complained that he liked Humpty Dumpty better.<BR/>3. Travel: I think the Cotswolds in England, although if I could commute and take a few classes at Cambridge or Oxford too that would be nice. Bernie and I plan to one day take the train trip across Canada, where you get off the train each night so you can explore about, then get back on when you wish. We should talk, doesn't that sound like a relaxing way to see Canada? Definitely in the Autumn.<BR/>4. Autumn. All four days of it here.<BR/>5. Most daring thing I want to do? Do a stand up comedy routine at a comedy club. <BR/>Thanks Lovella and Sara!Thoughts on Life and Millinery.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15826496514403918108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36134113.post-40354989024430424882007-07-09T09:52:00.000-07:002007-07-09T09:52:00.000-07:00see girls?
