I've been tagged . . . (thanks, Lia!!)

I was tagged by my dear niece, Lia.

Here are the rules that I must post first.

1. You have to post these rules before you give the facts.

2. You must list one fact that is somehow relevant to your life for each letter of your middle name. If you don’t have a middle name, use the middle name you would have liked to have had.

3. At the end of your blog post, you need to choose one person for each letter of your middle name to tag. Don’t forget to leave a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog for the rules.

And my middle name is Lou.....(after my wonderful mom, Louise!)

L - I asked Emily what I could write for the letter "L" and she said 'likeable" and "loving". I think I'll go with 'loving'. I love so many things - God, my husband, my kids and their spouses, my grandkids, my sisters and brothers and their spouses, my mom and step-dad, my nieces and nephews and their kids, my friends, my home, GEMS, my church family, holidays, family gatherings, hearing a baby giggle, Praise and Worship time on Sunday mornings, the smell of a just-bathed baby, hearing a little voice call "Grandma", and many, many more things.

O - I'm afraid I have to say I am 'obsessed' with card making! Yes, I could sit downstairs and make cards from 10 p.m. until 2 a.m. every night! I have more cards than I will ever use, but I keep making them. I'm now starting on my Christmas cards. I send about 80 cards each year, so this will keep me busy for a while.

U - Unusual or Unique - I guess in today's society it's a 'little' unusual to have 8 children. Now that I think about it, it's probably a little unusual to have 11 grandchildren within 5 years too, huh?

I am tagging Joan, Diane E. and Heather
