Thirteen Things About Me That Start With The Letter F

1. Friends. I am blessed to have friends that I love and with whom I share my life.

2. Faith. I don’t write about it much, but my faith in God gets me through each day of my life.

3. Family. My family is not what you read about in text books, but good and bad they are mine and I love them all.

4. Fruit. Hubby and I grow a lot of fruit here at our home. Apples, Peaches, Cherries, Pears and Grapes. We also really enjoy making things with the “fruits of our labor”!

5. Feast. I love to cook and I think I am happiest when I am creating a feast to share with my friends and family.

6. Fifty. Yes, I will be fifty in November. I still can’t believe it!

7. Fireplace. I love our fireplace and enjoy having fires in it in the evening.

8. Flute. Growing up I played the flute in the school band. Sadly, my ex-husband kept my flute when we divorced. I have not played since.

9. Fragrance. My favorite fragrance is Christian Dior’s “Dune”. However, I can only wear perfume in the winter as I detest bug bites. So in the summer my perfume is “Deep Woods Off”! LOL!!

10. Foreign places. I love to travel, to meet new people, try new things. In a few more years when I am done breeding puppies I will once again travel with Hubby.

11. Free. I am so happy that I live in a country where I am free. I remember my trips into the east block countries at the height of the cold war and I could see that the lack of freedom brought so much unhappiness to people’s lives.

12. Fresh. I love fresh foods, fresh sheets on my bed and fresh flowers!

13. Fortunate. I want to end with the fact that I feel very fortunate in my life. I am loved by an incredible man, and we share a truly wonderful life together, I have a phenomenal daughter whom I love and am so proud of, as well as dear friends whom I love greatly and who love me and the most awesome dogs in the world!

Yes, I am Fortunate!

  2. Fantastic !! what a happy, positive and fun list. He, he: I am with Gattina, do you need another bottle of wine???

  3. Hi Mom,

    Just a quick note to say hello, and to let you know about my weigh in this morning! I have lost another 2.5 lbs, to bring my total to 30 lbs! I can’t believe it! Very excited!

    Hope you have a great day!

    Love you,
    Mandy

  4. FABULOUS “F” list, Maribeth! Funny though… MY family IS the text book family … Yep… “How to Survive in a Dysfunctional Family”… yes siree! I could have written it – but I was too busy surviving it! 🙂

  5. Great meme! Even if I feel I know you quite well after about two years blog friendship, there is always new things to learn.
    With or without the flute, I’m glad you feel you are fortunate!
