I’ve been tagged! :-)
Piecedtreasures has tagged me and wants to know 4 random things about myself. Ha! I don’t consider myself very interesting so I emailed a friend for help!
This is the best I could do….
1. My husband and I owned and ran used bookstore on our property for 10 years where we helped homeschoolers in choosing curriculum. At the same time I was the principal of a private ISP for homeschool families in our church.
2. One of my favorite joys in life is to bake and cook for others.
3. My ambition in life is/was to be like Aunt Bea of Mayberry.
4. I have a ‘soft’ spot for the unwanted whether it be a child or an unwanted animal. I used to pick up stray dogs on the street and find them homes. When I was a young child I dreamed of living on a farm where I could bring rescued and abused animals. As an adult I’ve always dreamed of working in an orphanage or bringing unwanted children into my home so they would have someone who loved them.
I’ve never tagged anyone before but here it goes…. I’d like to tag pollypatchworker, vishbobu,danishdoll,jehovahraah83,cerwindoris,malamacindy, danishdoll, and growingrace (oh, my, there are so many I’d love to know more about! So, if you’d like to shared then please let me know.

I loved reading those things about you! Especially the help you gave homeschoolers. I miss those days of getting people started homeschooling, helping them figure out the laws, choosing curriculum. I miss everything about homeschooling!
I will try to answer the tags tomorrow. I, too, consider myself rather boring. I don’t think my life is boring, just myself. But thanks for tagging me. I don’t think I have ever been tagged before.
I enjoyed reading about you so see you are interesting. Love ya
All those times you helped me pick the right books or buy my used stuff was a great help. Thanks Georgene!! I am glad to know more about you …I think you would make a great Aunt Bea, just don’t go buying any tonic from traveling salesmen. : )
I don’t usually do tags, so I will just respond in your comments.
1. I traveled by dugout canoe in the jungle of southern Colombia.
2. I climed a pyramid in Mexico.
3. I taught Bible School on a First Nation Reserve in Northwestern Ontario, Canada.
4. I walked with grizzly bears at Katmai, Alaska.
@Mother_of_Encouragement - Oops! I’d love to know 4 interesting, random things about you! I knew I’d forget someone!
Are you game?
(I use an herbal tincture and my husband will often call me ‘Aunt Bea’ when I’m using it! *S*)
@cerwindoris - Oh, my! Now, THAT is an interesting LIFE, Doris! Were you involved in missionary work at #1,2 and 4?
@piecedtreasures - When I leave this earth I will most likely look back on my homeschooling days as my favorite.
No, my brother and his family lived in Mexico and Colombia, and we went to Alaska on our fortieth wedding anniversary.
(I just noticed that I forgot the “b” in climbed in my previous comment.
ryc: We have a host family every Sunday at church. That means they are responsible to make sure all visitors have a place for lunch.
Ok…I’ll be a sport. Not necessarily interesting…but random.
1. As a creeper I ate pillbugs.
2. I am 4′ 11″ tall, and have always been OK with it.
3. We lived in Alaska for a time where two of our children were born.
4. I am married to a very skilled custom stair builder. Some day I will share pictures
