Thanks to Danny Thornton, for paying it forward and tagging Jeff & I for this "Super Me-Me Bug" that's going around with 8 specific questions to answer. This is our first ever attempt at a Me-Me.

Jeff quickly said - you participate...... as he is more passionate about sports blogging :)

So here goes.....These answers are according to Grace :)

 1. Who is your favorite musical artist? ------------> JOHN COUGAR MELLENCAMP !

This Hoosier Musician will be inducted into the Rock N Roll hall of Fame this year! 

I saw him first in concert in my 20's and again in my 30's and yes even today his lyrics and music are meaningful!  ( He's on tour again this summer - which one of you are going to call Jeff and drop the hint that I'd like to go see him again... LOL).

Although I Listed my favorite - I really do enjoy an ecclectic variety of music including Broadway Show Tunes, Christian, Jazz, Salsa, Classical and even some Opera! Thank God for satellite radio :)

 

2. Who is your favorite artist? -> Pierre Auguste Renoir & other Impressionists !

I am very fortunate that this, my favorite painting of his, is on display nearby at Chicago's Art Institute so I can enjoy it in person !

 

I took Art History in College and loved it....I was excited to visit the Louvre in the early 90's and see many Impressionists works first hand...but, I have grown also to appreciate Modern Art as well - especially that of Peter Max.

3. Who is your favorite blogger? ----------> To name Just ONE is Impossible :)   3 that come to mind when I think of PASSIONATE Bloggers that I enjoy are: Elizabeth Nieves, Carole Provenzale, & Jo-Anne Smith - but there are dozens of other bloggers here on AR whose posts have informed, inspired, taught and enlightened me as well - and many more future posts not even written yet, that are sure to impact me :)

4. If you could meet anyone (alive or dead), who would it be and what is the most interesting thing about them?--------->

MARIE CURIE....'The Lady of The Atomic Age" !!!    

Against all odds......a woman born in a Communist country during her time did not even go to school, let alone become the President of a University and a two time Nobel Peace Prize winner in SCIENCE for her important discoveries.

Because of her work, her Legacy lives on.....She is responsible for saving the lives of many today as RADIATION Therapy & Xrays would not be around if it were not for her tireless and persistant efforts.

Ironic, that the life giving radium she discovered and studied, was the poisoning that brought her important work and life to a pre-mature end.  She was a woman ahead of her time!

5. What did you want to be when you grew up? -------> a Registered Nurse!

 I became one in 1979 and retired in 1999. It was a very diversified career. I started out in OR, then ER, then Critical Care.  I earned my Bachelors Degree in Nursing, plus dozens of specialty Certifications over 20 years.I was a Supervisor, a critical care educator, but enjoyed bedside nursing the best and traveled all over Chicagoland as a Temp or Agency Nurse that filled in for shortages at various hospitals.

 I married Jeff to spend time with him, so he convinced me to stop the midnight madness and get my Real Estate License and help his growing business!  I've never had a better schedule or co-worker as now :) thanks honey!

 6. What is the most interesting piece of trivia you know? ----->

All 3 of the Great Western Religions accept the existance of ANGELS !

Judaism, Christianity and Islam -They are mentioned in all of the following : the Torah, both in the Old and New Testaments in the Bible, and the Koran.

"The Angels regard our safety, undertake our defense, direct our ways and exercise a constant solicitude that no evil befalls us. " John Calvin

7. If you could live in any point in history what would it be and why?

I'm Glad to Be Living in the Here & Now - this is a Time of GRACE !

Compared to my immigrant parents experiences in WW II  my life is blessed :)

8. What is the most interesting job you have ever held?  ---------> Real Estate Sales !

Every client and transaction brings a different set of circumstances to the table.

Creativity, Problem Solving, Continuing Education to Keep abreast of New Technology and Teachings make for very few dull moments!

Jeff & I had the honor to meet Robert Kiyosaki once and I'll never forget something he said ...

A good REALTOR is worth their weight in GOLD !                              

Whew ! Now that that's done... here are the next 8

Grace, Thank you So much for including me, what a lovely thing for me to wake up and read!  It's funny but I mentioned Van Gogh but I do love all the other impressionism paintings....AND Peter Max!  I didn't even think of it, I have always wanted a real lithiograph (or even signed poster).  And I believe you know I believe in Angels very much :)  Have  a beautiful day.

Loved reading your meme. We have something in common. I was raised in Indiana and Mellencamp is one of my all time favorites.  "Rocking in the USA".

Thanks to all for taking time to stop by and comment :)

Hello Mary - lol blogging buds would make an excellent title to a them-them post :)

Hello Carole - I had you listed to be tagged again and then an overwhelming feeling came over me that you had probably already been and I checked and was right - we do share common interests in Art and Angels :)

Hello Christina -Wow - an Indiana gal - you didn't end up to far from home :) I love small town and little pink houses and many more.

Sincerely to all

Grace

Grace,

What a beautifully creative and passionate MeMe! I enjoyed learning all of these new things about you so much and love how you've presented the answers to each question...fascinating.  Now I'm off to click on some of your links to learn more....then I better go and unpack my groceries (just got in the door).

thanks for the mention, I'm deeply honoured, as always, to be your's and Jeff's friend and smiled when I read about the angel part as I remembered it was your angel story that brought us together.

Grace, Wonderful meme! I also studied Art History while majoring in Fine Arts! Thanks (I think) for tagging me. (victims was the correct word:) I have been trying to stay below the radar and got tagged for a little meme in December but never did it. I will have to think about this:) (on my boat:)

GRACE:  As you know, I've been away from AR for a while...taking care of my little girls from Mexico. This week, they started school...so I have a little bit more time again. Through the months, I have found myself drawing strength from my connections here...even though I was far away physically. YOU are one of those people who are a tremendous source of strength and encouragement to me.

I remembered that you tagged me for a meme that I never did, so I came here to read your meme to see what kind of meme I need to do. I was truly and deeply touched to read your comment about my writing. I just want you to know that I feel the same way about you. AND...I promise to do my meme in the next few days. :-) GBU!!!

Dear Elizabeth- How wonderful to log on and get a message from you - I know you have been very busy with something way more important than blogging and real estate - raising your new family :)

How much more meaningful will your Me- Me be now after such a life changing experience you've had in the time you were away!

I welcome you back and thanks kindly for stopping by and taking time to comment with such compliments and I will anticipate your me-me( as I already know it will inspire and touch many lives)!

Take Care and God Bless You & Yours

Sincerely,

Grace
