Guess what. I love games, so I was thrilled when my friend Susan from the most of every moment tagged me to play “I Mustache You Some Questions” I love her blog she is informative, writes with so much exuberance and pride – Susan lives in Montana, and shows off spectacular photos of her state.

I don’t think any of my answers are new or more revealing about me; at times, I feel like I am an open book. I guess one needs to be if they want to blog. Therefore, I hope you enjoyed my answers.
Now for the big reveal I am tagging four bloggers to do the same — please understand I am not a fan of the imposition that I am asking of you all; but truth is I want to know more about you all – I love your blogs and I thoroughly enjoy all your posts.
The four bloggers are:
Dana from Kiss My List Dana has the humor and the brains, she writes about her days, what is on her mind and is honest – she describes her blog as a coffee date with a friend- pour what you like coffee, tea or water she doesn’t mind and go visit Dana.
Val is a blogger that on occasion comes and visits me at Squaarekat, leaves these wonderful comments about my posts; her last comment was: I knew when you mentioned “stoop” instead of porch; you were from my neck of the woods. Interest peaked and I want to know more, you can too; go visit Val at My Virtual Vineyard
Dyanne at Backsies Is What There Is Not – is funny about almost everything, she enjoys life, her family, her cats and despite some setbacks or what I call some lifetime scary moment s, she is living proof that with a positive mindset, humor and the support of good friends and family the battleground can be a playground.
Last Blogger is my friend Poppy over at Poppyview , who lives in Greece. Secretly I want to be invited to visit my friend in her hometown, yet there is really no need for that because I get to have a mini vacation in her countryside because of all her wonderful, photogenic posts; as we walk together she recites her poetry that compliments the scenery.
Now it’s your turn Dana, Val, Dyanne and Poppy tag “I mustache you some question” hope you can join the party… however if you can’t I totally understand.
I laughed out loud when I read the "where are my glasses" line. My dad has about 20 pairs all over his house. Just recently my eyes started to go. Glasses, and the constant hunt for them, are in my near future. 🙂
Good book choices! I've read three of them.
ohmygosh!

Thanks for tagging me, Marisa! I love that you wrote "I sigh a lot" as one of the things you "say." And I think George is a lovely name!
it is really bad – I really can not see any words without my glasses and I am always losing them in the house. TY
I loved Shop Girl Thank you
