Rules of the meme. Respond and rework. Answer questions on your own blog.
Replace one question. Add one question. (I didn't do this as brain gave up.)
Tag 8 people. I suppose it could be 2 or a hundred....
I would like to tag the following cool bloggers, but please, please don't bother if this will bore you.....!

I have two copies of VIRGINIA WOOLF, A Critical Memoir, by Winifred Holtby, if you would like one?!
ReplyDeleteI love reading memes but I have so gone off doing them. It was lovely to find out more about you though
ReplyDeleteYour series of photos were perfectly soothing. And I did really enjoy learning a little more about you.
ReplyDeleteI've been up for several hours and I'm about to head out to a brunch. I truly hope there are some donuts (and I don't care if they are overpriced at this point - my stomach is complaining!).
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures and fun to learn more about you. Your favorite vacation spots sound fantastic!
This was fun, Elizabeth! The tapestry of your photos and answers were delightful. Boring? Never! I'm game! :D
ReplyDeleteWhich question did you replace?
ReplyDeletelove your textures. & Elizabeth your life is anything but boring!
ReplyDeleteBravely done. I'm with you on the textures of walls, that wall lion is fantastic!!!!
ReplyDeleteNot a boring meme at all! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI love these glimpses into people's lives! Sharing is a good thing....
ReplyDeleteHey there, Elizabeth! Looks like you and I like similar things - chili or shepherd's pie being standard fare 'round my place. And the scent of lilacs is my favourite - mmm! We should go biking together along the Hudson River bikepath later this spring, early summer. That would be fun!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful thoughts and photographs... It is so nice to meet you! I especially love the tiled pool with the rim of tiny stones... Roxanne

I spent the day in Manhattan yesterday, so was happy to find this blog today (through Willow). Love what you have going on here. NY was beautiful yesterday, as always. Even the morning rain added a city drama.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your responses to this meme. I'll try to get to it soon.

ReplyDeleteI love what you wrote you were listeining to. You're right, it is a light and delightful meme.
ReplyDeleteI loved the pic of the pool or fountain with the steps.. did I miss seeing where that is from?
Nice self interview Elizabeth and I enjoyed learning a little more about you. Hope to meet you face to face soon, but afraid I'll baffle you with my Brooklyn accent.

Delightful as always, Elizsabeth! :-) May I wish your rain away and send you a little sun from my secret garden (not mine, and secret only to those who don't live around the paradisal city block our apartment building is built around)?
ReplyDeleteThe birds here are having a little siesta, after all they have been chirping and singing since way before the sun rose.
A fascinating read! Boring your are NOT!
ReplyDeletewonderful Elizabeth! - as is everything over here - finally commenting after much lurking - your new pup is just deliciously adorable - you are lucky to have each other - sending you very much love - I have been very quiet of late - now getting out again and that feels so good...
