Getting to know you ...

So little sister....
I thought I would try to format this blog according to what you liked.
The gadgets were not so hard.
Let's see here are some other things I know you like:
Movies, beauty products, animals - especially cats, plants, flowers, gardening, baking, party planning, the beach/ocean, shopping, clothes - especially shoes, taking pictures, travelling......
I find that my memory is really sketchy these days, has been for a while.
I couldn't remember your favorite colors. Blue, purple, green? Or are those mine?
I know we discussed where we would most like to travel to. Was yours Australia? Am I really far off? Mine was Southeast Asia - Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia. If I am correct about your destination we have chosen countries quite near considering we could have chosen say Norway and Argentina.
My colors are blue (cornflower), purple (delphinium), green (from hosta leaves to the color of the gulf at Santa Rosa nearest the beach).
Taking pictures, cooking, any/all animals (well you know I am not so fond of the seagulls and squirrels), shopping, beauty products, flowers/herbs, gardening, the mountains,travelling....
Some similarities there, huh?
I know that Mom liked greens/blues (if given a choice in furniture colors). The ocean, shopping, beauty products ( Grace and Peg pointed out that Mom loved the beauty products such as face creams, etc.), she loved clothes and shoes. She loved looking nice, always dieting, finding ways to make her nails look good and so on. There was never a lot of extra cash as there were land payments and so on, but she learned to sew and was really good at it. This is something I am pretty sure is not on our favorite things list, or life skill list! LOL. So much for learned behavior.
She loved animals too. Good thing because we always had two or three of them. I don't think she was big on gardening. That was always Dad's department. She liked to clean and the house was always pretty neat and clean. She loved to socialize, always lots of friends. I suspect this was because she grew up in so much chaos and poverty. She loved to travel. She loved her Mom and sisters. I think growing up the way she did really cemented the bond between them.
This is what I remember Dad really liking:
Animals, anything nature especially the beach/ocean, eating (okra (yuk), ice cream and corn), gardening - growing vegetables, boating, bad jokes, people, travelling, keeping in shape, his parents, the Army.
That's about it for this installment.
