Darlene, thank you so much for thinking of me. I am so busy going up and down the road that I hardly have time to post. No time for reading, music, films or hardly eating. I will not join in - but thank you for thinking of me. Fondly, Ernestine
Darlene Me too with Ernestine.
Thanks for thinking of me. It's summertime and the livin' is easy. :)
I so enjoyed your responses to the Meme questions, and I like your replacement question.
"Siddhartha" is such a marvelous book.
I loved Barbara Jordan, too. Thanks for making me think of her.
I have a Mimosa tree in my yard and it is one of my favorites. I nearly named that tree, but went for the Sequoias instead.
Have a peaceful Sunday.
Hey, thanks for thinking of me too Darlene. I'm not sure if I'll get to this meme either sweetie. I'm kind of bogged down with some things right now, and I'm not always good about these things, but if I can...I will. You always have such GREAT answers for these memes Darlene. Have a beautiful Sunday my sweet friend... Love, Joy
Interesting answers, Darlene. I love the first one!
I read Siddhartha years ago. I always intended to read it again, so maybe now's the time.
Darlene, I always enjoy your posts. Especially like your responses to the meme questions.
I admire your willingness to blog. I have trouble writing my journal on a regular basis, can't imagine doing a blog. Just happy others do it for me to read.

Thank you ladies for your responses. I completely understand why you will not be doing this meme. I probably won't do another, either.
*Genie - Thank you for stopping by. I hope you will return.
