Random Thoughts and Musings

Here are the rules:

1. Go to your picture files
2. Go to your 6th folder.
3. Go to your 6th picture.
4. Tell us about it.
5. Tag 6 friends to do the same.

Alrighty then,
Steps 1, 2, 3:

Step 4:

When I moved to Cali, I started seeing a guy, A, who loved taking photos of EVERYTHING. I, on the other hand, hate having my picture taken - ever. So, he usually tried to catch me offguard so I did not have time to turn away or hide. When he was transfered north & moved to Sunnyvale (from Point Mugu - where we were stationed together), I would go up and visit once a month (and he came down once a month). Whenever Tween was with us (I tried to arrange my travel weeks at times when she was with her Daddy), there were many trips to Fisherman’s Warf, Pier 39, and to the SF Golden Gate Park.

This photo was taken at one of his family’s picnics at the Park, when I was listening to some of the music-makers and completely relaxed … and not paying attention to the camera. It is actually one of my favorite pictures for a few reasons: 1) A took it , 2) I am smiling, 3) Tween is looking AT the camera in all her china-doll cherubic cuteness 4) it was taken when I could afford my medication (ok, it was provided to me) and I was not overweight by my own standards (although I was by Navy standards).

Step 5:

The original tag was for 6 other people. NAMG tagged 7. I, however, think you should tag or not tag as you please. So, I tag:

1. Topsurf ~ I am hoping for a photo of her, of course (I have yet to see one), but I just needed a reason to tag her. *grins*
2. Tara R ~ No telling what hidden gems she has tucked away in those picture files!
3. Beav ~ He never posts enough pictures to satisfy me and my insatiable picture fetish. This is just a way of finding out what he has stored in that hard drive of his!
4. Jen ~ She is beautiful, and her photographs are phenomenal … this is a win-win situation!
5. Jasperblu ~ She’ll get sick of me tagging her soon, if she hasn’t already But she and her lil one are cuties, and she has posted phenomenal pictures in the past. Again - win-win!!

Ok, I just looked up and Beav is snuggled neatly between two T-gyrls and two J-gyrls … so I am leaving it at 5 for me. How many will YOU tag?

BTW, NAMG also tagged me with this award:

I, in turn, pass it on to:

1. Topsurf
2. Tara R
3. Beav
4. Jen
5. Jasperblu

************** EDITED TO ADD **************

Andrew is a friend I have enjoyed getting to know over the last month or two, and I wanted to tag him when i was putting this post together, but did not think he had a personal blog. I was WRONG and he DOES, so he is now TAGGED!! WOOOT!
