It's All 100 THINGS (1-25) Good!
there are a bunch of things I can relate to on your list.the grey hairs for one the love of chocolate is an other.My Dad's Father dies when he was 5 and his brothe Evan was 3. God has been watching over me for a long time and I thank him for that every day.
ReplyDeleteIf it was not for His Grace I never would be as old as I am now.I was 24 when I almost died from fluid on the heart.I was 26 when my first marriage ended in divorse and 28 when I married the love of my life in 1980 we are still married to this day.So those grey hairs I don't mind.
I'm glad you decided to do this, Brenda. It's always fun to get to know fellow bloggers a little better.
ReplyDeleteI did my 100 Things all in one sitting and man, was it hard to come up with all those things!
Now I'm looking forward to the next installment of yours. ;o)
Have a great weekend!
Love and hugs,
Diane
Loved how you ended it. I just love those photos so very much Brenda. I loved learning all about you in 25 wonderful ways and can't wait for the 75 more. Wow.
ReplyDeleteWho would have thought yellow was your favorite? It seems to fit an its all good girl. Have a great weekend.
#2 and #17 were my favs, my Sister in Christ and Sister in Blog Addiction! I like that you broke this up into 25 questions. That was very smart of you - easier to take in and digest!
ReplyDeleteBe blessed.

Hi, Brenda

It's really nice ot find so many other Christians in blogland, and also ones who finght with those pesky grey hairs! lol I have way too many of those. Looking forward to the next 25 Installment! :) Brenda
Love the picture of you all!
ReplyDeleteI like the 100 things about me!
I may do that on my blog
Amber
Ya...I think I like your idea better than mine...it is so hard to come up with 100...you are a smart one! Really enjoyed reading this post. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you probably had a wild house when you were little with all those brothers!
ReplyDeleteBrenda, I enjoyed reading more about you. You started blogging after I did, but do you know if there is a certain time when you are suppose to blog 100 things about self? Is it after so many posts, or how does that work?
ReplyDeleteWell Brenda,
ReplyDeleteI see you chose to air all our dirty laundry out in front of God and country. I love it!!
You were always so cute and I loved you so much. You were our little apache with your short haircuts and dark straight hair. Your blue eyes gave it away though but we didn't mind.
later,
your little big sis,
Enjoyed your 25 and look forward to the other 75!!
ReplyDeleteSusan
I like that you are doing installments. I'm married 27 years also.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you do have a wonderful life. That's just wonderful. I can't wait to read the net installment.
Gray hairs in the dark -- I feel you pain. What's with that, anyway? My Mom is fond of saying she EARNED every one of hers (probably while raising me), but I don't care to EARN that sort of thing.
ReplyDeleteRemind daughter Chelsie that age is the great equalizer!
Can't wait to read the next 50!
you guys seem to have a network of LOVE.. READE STEPHANIE MEYER'S NEW BOOK HOST
