Sharon recently tagged me for a meme:
The rules: Posted here at the beginning. The player answers all questions. The player then chooses six people you want to know more about and tags those people by listing their names at the end of the post and going to their blog and leaving a comment, letting them know they've been tagged and asking them to read your blog. Also, you let the person who tagged you know when you've posted your answer.
1. What was I doing 10 years ago?
Ten years ago I was teaching English full time and training teachers how to use technology to enhance classroom instruction. It was a special year....DH,DD and I traveled to San Francisco for a week and enjoyed the trip so much. It was a rather exciting trip since I felt my first earthquake on the 21st floor of our hotel. A dear friend who lives in SF called me to assure me that the quake was just an SF hello. I did not agree; I'd rather deal with hurricanes for sure.
2. What were five things on my to-do list today (not in any particular order)?
The first item was finishing a training manual on How to Create a Web Site for the Classroom. I then went on to enjoy a bit of gardening; I planted some begonias, lobelia, rust colored hen and chicks and more. I'm working on a secret sock and spinning some chocolate Border Leicester fiber for DD that I bought at RI Handspun.
3. What snacks do I enjoy?
My all time favorite snack is very dark chocolate (85%). I also love almonds and ranch flavored peanuts.
4. Where are some places I've lived?
Can't thrill anyone in this department. I've always lived in Little Rhody.
5. What things would I do if I were a billionaire?
I would like to fund the Greg Mortenson's quest to build schools in the wildest parts of Pakistan and Afghanistan to fight terrorism one school at a time.
Then I would like to develop a think tank of individuals whose sole purpose would be to find ways to renew the world's resources as listed on the Seven Revolutions site and then share them globally.
Finally,I would like to pay off the usual bills that accumulate over a lifetime.
I'm tagging Judy, Laurie, Kathy, Jenny,Sarah, and Carol.
I'm curious about their answers....................
she knits and knits and knits and sometimes she spins too....

Fun Meme Cindy!
I am glad to learn more about you.
Thanks for tagging me - I will try to get to your tag later this week (I have another one I got tagged on right ahead of this one, and more pics of chicago and MY OWN YARD to share too.)
Cool! I'll do this early in the week...need to chew on this a bit.
Ever had Michel Cluizel chocolate?
Hi Cindy, sure, I'll do it. Need to think about it a little though. Thanks for tagging me. But what does meme mean or stand for? You can tell I have never done it before.
Hi, Cindy - I'm always one blog entry behind, but I just wanted to congratulate you (and your daughter) on your daughter's Doctorate - wonderful achievement! You must be so proud.
Sherill
I too am way behind in blogging these days and congratulations on DD Doctorate; you really must be deservedly proud of her
