Flowers...and a meme for kids..

Before I get to the business at hand, I thought I would share with you a picture of the beautiful roses my S.O. brought me Friday night, "just because". What a sweetie! They are all opening up now and look lovely on my entertainment center. (smile)

Anyway, I stole this meme from Tricia's blog....it's not that the questions are all that new, it's that she asked her kids to answer them. So, I did the same with my four kids. So, sit back, relax, and read some very interesting answers to some traditional meme questions. Here are their responses:

3 THINGS THAT SCARE ME:

Joseph, age 16, high school junior - crowded elevators, large bugs, failure.

Rachael, age 14, almost 15, high school freshman - asthma attacks, change, the future.

Daniel, age 12, junior high grade 6 - other than Joseph? (laughs) dark places with no noise, when someone jumps out at you, very tight situations.
