I know I do the Random Dozen (randomly), but I haven't done a "traditional" meme in quite some time. I ran into this one over at Still Altering Habits and thought to myself, "Self? That might be kind of fun!"
What's different about this meme? Well, instead of just answering the questions on your blog, you write your answers on a sheet of paper and post a picture of them on your blog. I've talked about the intimacy of a hand-written note/card and how I miss that feeling in electronic media. This is as close as I can get to that on the blog, but it does kind of put a different twist on things, doesn't it?
The questions ...
1) Your name/blog name?
2) Right-handed, left-handed, or ambidextrous?
3) Favorite letters to write?
4) Least favorite letters to write?
5) Write “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.”
6) Write the following words in capital letters:
- CRAB
- HUMOR
- KALEIDOSCOPE
- PAJAMAS
- GAZILLION
7) Write your favorite song lyric.
8) Tag people!
9) Any special note or picture.
... and the answers ...

My Dad came across this photo this weekend and posted it on FaceBook. I thought I'd share it with all of you because ... well ... just because!
Funny, when I first looked at the photo I didn't look at me. I noticed the tree on the right - a live Christmas tree from the previous year that we planted in our front yard that spring. And I noticed the Rhododendrons on the left - a flowering shrub my dad bought for my mom on Mother's Day and one that flowered every Mother's Day.
My parents had a rocky, ROCKY marriage - one that impacted my life and my view on relationships in some extremely negative ways. But you know what? When I look at this photo I don't see any of that. Instead, I see the love they shared and the good memories they attempted to create. It makes me smile ...

Beautiful handwriting! I'd have had to do it over. I'm not nearly as strong as you are!
