I've been tagged as a Meme? I'm learning.

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Advantage

I'd never heard of a meme.  I've been too busy blogging about things but I suppose that in some ways it is a way of getting noticed?  Now if I have to tell you 5 things about me that you really don't know and don't care about knowing and probably won't read, let's begin.

  • I played basketball in high school because I towered over the other girls.  The advantage to being tall was that I didn't have to run fast (half court then if you are old enough to remember) or grab hard.  They'd just feed me the ball and I'd shoot.  This was also when we had to wear short shorts and kneepads. We didn't have to wear kneepads but I wanted to cover up more leg.
  • I was raised in Georgia.  I was actually a "cracker" instead of a "peach" except when I was the age portrayed in this little-girl picture.
  • I taught ART for 12 years in Searcy Public Schools.  Charles Buell, who tagged me, and is an artist must have known that intuitively.  (His art is beautiful)
  • Well, actually, I taught English for one year.  So I cringe when I see words misspelled but I'm not nearly as good at spelling as my daughter, who is the publisher of a newspaper in Columbus GA.  She will probably find a word spelt d wrong in dis blog.
  • I really like reading biographies or I did until this blogging started taking up so much time.

I'm tagging Gary Woltal, James Browning and Dick Betts

Cute picture, Barbara.  You haven't changed much ;-)

I am curious... what is a "cracker"?  I have heard that term before but don't know the meaning.

Shirley, I think it is something that Georgia people are called, either Georgia crackers or Georgia peaches. I'd certainly rather be a peach than a cracker.

Barbara, I enjoyed your meme. I've never been athletic but I am impressed with those that are.   

So where is Searcy?  Is it close to Little Rock?

Barbara, now I know all the inside scoop on your "tall" self. Thanks for tagging me with the MeMe. I actually did one a short while back and have seen many within the community do multiple ones. Here is my previous MeMe post:

 If you taught Art, I know you are the creative type. I'll try not to misspell words for your sake.

Marchel, Searcy is 50 miles North of Little Rock.  It is the county seat of White County and the home of Harding University.   Thanks for reading the blog.

Dick, you are supposed to write 5 things about yourself and then tag 3 others and you become a member of the meme's.  I don't guess there are any real rules. 

Gary, I remember reading that blog that you wrote about yourself.  Beautifully done, as your blogs are always.

Barbara. Great pics! You were a hottie! Hope all is well in Searcy. - Ray (By the way, my understanding of the word cracker has a somewhat drogatory connotation - due to the times we are in).

Ray, it is to my knowledge also a derogatory term.....and it described me!  "Hottie" is a new term.  I never heard it used when I wore that outfit.  Those satin uniforms surely looked better, however, than those loose baggy ones worn by the teams today.  Thanks for reading the blog.  Have you been meme'd.  I shoulda done you!
