Anybody who wants to play and hasn't been tagged yet. I know many of you have already played and others I'm thinking may be too busy for such shenanigans.
Paste the questions onto your own blog, inject yourself with truth serum, and post your answers. No copying from others.
A word of explanation regarding photo: It's from Thanksgiving 2006--this year we forgot to take pictures of people! Flannery did, however, photograph the food for her cooking blog. Pictured above: Bennie, Oakley (in a moment of father-son bonding), me, Ben Sr., Lois, Flannery, Gary (exchange student from UK).

San,
You joined in the game! You are fun!
Tiny? Hmm... should I ask for an explanation? Never mind.
Longest ride number 2, I can see why.
I agree, more hours in the day. Now it's getting dark so early. Today at 6:00 PM I thought it was around 8:00 PM. LOL! I got two more hours to my day!
Santa Fe, been there, done that. Nice town in some ways, but not so nice in others.
But I guess all towns are that way in a way, even where I live. For sure where I live.
San,
Nice family picture! Once I get my suitcase unpacked, I will post my Thanksgiving pictures.
I am glad you played the Tag Game, now I know a little more about you!
I am home in Wyoming now and have lots to do before I start back to work tomorrow!
Have a great weekend!
Jolene
Hey Chewy. In the evening I too have been looking at the clock with surprise!
Hi BBC. I've lived in Santa Fe for better than 14 years. We raised our children here and it's a very special place to us.
Thanks for stopping by. I'll return the visit.
Jolene, I'll look at those pictures. Hope it feels good to be back in Wyoming.
Hi San,
Thanks for tagging me. My post is up, come on over and check it out. :)
Peace!
I actually saw your post before I saw this comment. Thanks for playing, Lee!
Okay hon, I'll do it because I can be quirky with it. I just posted it.
My other blog
BBC, I see you did inject the truth serum.
thanks for the tag, dont be offended if i dont do it.
it isn't personal :)
my scrooge dance thing works if you click the picture...wonder why it isn't for you?
I know, Paula, you're trying to write that artist's statement. Why not use the tag answers? Just kidding. Although I've seen far worse.
Daphne's writing her statement too. And she played. I'm sulking now.
Seriously, best of luck with the statement. They're hard, I know.
Will be posting soon, thanks for the tag.
JSD, you even added a question. You get bonus points!
Hi San,
I did laugh at your description of the ``broomstick skirt''.
Right now I'm in a suit and tie at work Monday morning!!
Still Sunday here, David. You're time-traveling at a brisker pace down there.
Hello over there San,
I'm sorry i have only just read your comment.i have just crept upstairs after being snuggled up under a vintage eiderdown and it was lovely apart from i had to listen to steve's (my partner) war film instead of lovely old 'my funny valentine' lol.
I'm going to explore the rest of your blog first thing in the morning! thanks for stopping by San and Happy Thanks Giving x
Kristina,
Snuggled up under a vintage eiderdown? How could you bear to leave?
San,
Yes, it is nice to be home but hard to leave the warm weather when there is snow on the ground here! My aches and pains were much less in that lower elevation, warmer climate. I am considering moving down there but it will have to be in a couple of years.
I've never been to Wyoming, Jolene, but I've heard it is really beautiful. I imagine the winter can be rather trying though.
Vintage Eiderdown comforter? I have one that is trying to fall apart in a box in my closet. It was my grandmothers. Does anyone know how to rescue them?
Posted, by request. Peace.
Hi, Lee. I have some quilts handmade by my grandmothers and great-grandmother. I can't display them prominently in my home, since the southwestern sun fades them.
Here's hoping someone knows how to rescue your grandmother's comforter. Things like that are such treasures.
Peace to you, Paschal. I went to your post, knowing you would come up with something Paschalian i.e. witty. I wasn't disappointed.
Thanks for being a player, dude.
Nice game of tag, Ms San. Kept me from doing evil things like lesson plans or thinking about skerl. Mil gracias. Tina had fun, too.
Some parts of Wyoming are beautiful. Other parts of it are yuck. Other than the beauty of some of it the best thing about it is that in general the people are wonderful.
I lived in Casper, Wyoming for a bit as a youth, and have been there in an 18 wheeler as an adult. It is my opinion that Casper is one of the yuck places in that state.
As for New Mexico, I have a cousin that lives in Rio Rancho, on the edge of the golf course, I stopped there a few times when I was trucking and spent the night.
It's okay I guess, I've been up the mountain in the tram two times.
One of my favorite places in that state is Taos. I once delivered a load of redwood from California there.
Kept a small amount of it and made a scale model of the load on a toy truck for the employer that I was working for at the time.
I sure do talk a lot, don't I? And I don't easily tilt. LOL
Not much for tagging, but I did like reading the post. I agree with bbc, Santa Fe is great.
Paschal, I glanced at Tina's post and will do it justice later--I look forward to it! I'm swamped with work today but am glad I was able to keep the two of you focused on the frivolous.
BBC and Camplin,
Thanks for the nice words.
Being a Wyoming native, I have to disagree with BBC. I have found that even the "yuck" places have their own beauty. There is nothing more vigorating than driving the roads of Wyoming in the springtime when everything is green and the baby deer and antelope are prancing! All of God's earth has its beauty, one just has to look for it sometimes. Where there is no beauty, is where mankind has destroyed it. Okay, I am stepping down off my soapbox now! LOL
Have a great day, San!
Thank you for sharing a little more of you through this tag game. The answers were delightful and the picture is lovely.
Car ride in transition part of labor!? Would love to read a post on this.
Meanie, now you have me wanting to visit Wyoming in the springtime. The closest I've gotten was a great camping trip we did in the Colorado Rockies--a whole state away. We were thrilled to see elk and moose near our campsite.
Celine, now you've given me a great idea for a post. Don't know why that hadn't occurred to me. One of these days...
Hope you're having a great week!
Hi San,
Great answers, now you've expanded the amount to be tagged, I carn't keep up with all the verious answers.
But good on ya gal !!
Best wishers
Keith.
Hey Keith!
Back at ya, dude!
