************************************************
Friendly Fill-Ins are easy to do. There are four statements: the first two statements are provided by Ellen of 15AndMeowing, and the final two are offered by McGuffy Ann Morris of McGuffy's Reader. They try to make sure the statements will be fun to both answer and share. The linky will be posted at or about 12:00 AM on Friday. Please head over to one of their sites, link up, and share your thoughts!
My fill-ins for the statements are underlined:
Week 12: July 29, 2016
1. One quirk i have is i like to take my "running away from home bag" with me everywhere, even if i leave it in the car.
2. My favorite comic strip is ... wait, i can only have one? It would have to be a tie between Family Circus and Garfield for strips that are still being written, and Peanuts and Calvin and Hobbes for those that are not.
3. I am really happy we got to come to Ft. Sill and see our Little Girl graduate from boot camp. We got to take off her old rank insignia to give her the new one at the promotion ceremony!
4. If i could go anywhere on a road trip, i would go to ... again, only one choice? Actually, since i saw this map, i want to make that road trip.

ReplyDeleteDansig and I have the same attitude -- don't worry, just enjoy life! lol
ReplyDeleteYep,that's a cat alright!
ReplyDeleteVery cute kitty. Thank you for joining the fill-ins. I am glad you got to see your daughter graduate from boot camp, I am sure you are very proud of her. I like all those comics you listed. A running away from home bag? I don't have one of those because it would be too hard to run away with 13 cats. :) Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThat's a good quirk to have - I need to put together a 'running away' bag to keep in the car. You never know when you're gonna need it! ;)
ReplyDeleteOooh! Those are all my favorite comic strips, too - I couldn't remember what they were, because it's been so long since I've had an actual paper with comics!
That is so awesome you got to see your daughter graduate boot camp - bet you didn't have a dry eye to speak of!
I wish I would have known about that map when I planned our cross-country trips! I'm bookmarking it for the next one we'll no doubt go on. ;)

I feel a little like that cat when it comes to diets. And yippee for NASA day.
ReplyDeleteSusan Says
That's so lovely you got to share that moment with your daughter!! Awesome. And speaking of awesome, THAT is some road trip. How fantastic would that be to see all those great places. I think I'd have to be retired. And rich. ha.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry that I am late, but it is important that I visit. Life has been a little stressful lately. I love your fill-ins and I do read your posts, even when I can’t comment; sometimes it is hard from my smart phone. Thank you for being a part of Friendly Fill-Ins.
