Sunrise near Taos
Rio Grande River near TaosRosaria tagged me participate in Meme of the Moment. The photos above are near the special town of Taos, NM that my husband & I enjoy visiting. We are looking forward to going this summer as we were unable to visit last year.
Meme of the Moment
1. What is your current obsession?
Getting my house refurbishing finished! Getting repairs made & returning to normal daily activities.
Also, adding to this is photography. I do enjoy taking photographs, not so much "snapshots" of friends, but beautiful or unusual or interesting things that I come across in everyday life or in our travels.
2.Which item of clothing do you wear often?
Tee shirt, jeans or cropped pants, socks & sneakers. Comfy clothing.
3.What's for dinner?
Tilapia, whole wheat pasta with zucinni & pine nuts, and a salad.
4.What are you listening to?
I'm an eclectic music lover. I love blues, rock, & classical. Right now I’m listening to an eclectic mix put together on my iTunes. Playing is “Come Together” by John Lennon, next two are Lennon’s “Only You” & “Imagine”. Also, have Robert Plant & Allison Krause’s CD “Raising Sand” in this mix… “Fortune Teller” is a cool one.
5.Say something to the one that tagged you.
Rosaria, thanks for tagging me. Hopefully this will jump-start me & get me back into some kind of rhythmic sense of blogging. I need a new direction as I feel very scattered at this particular point in time.
6.Favorite vacation spot?
New Mexico! Currently my husband & I enjoy spending time in Taos. It’s a small, artsy community with great weather. We escape the heat & humidity of Texas in July or August & love staying in Taos.
7. What I'm reading right now?
One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. I also have Origin of Species & Lone Star – A History of Texas on my bedside table. The latter two I peruse on occasion.
8. Four words to describe myself.
Steadfast, caring, curious, athletic.
9.Guilty pleasure.
Enjoying retirement way more than I expected.
10. First Spring thing?
Spring cleaning – taking care of those baseboards, window sills, ceiling fans, etc. and buying beautiful fresh flowers!
11. What do you look forward to?
Enjoying as many years as I possibly can with my dear husband. Hopefully, the years will be long and healthy ones. Also, enjoying our sweet Gertie Girl, the rat terrier that adds so much to our lives.

Thanks Rosaria at sixtyfivewhatnow for the opportunity to respond and to tag 9 more folks. I tried not to choose anyone who has recently been chosen and I wanted to tag a few blogs that I recently discovered. The last 3 are relatively new to me. I hope you will enjoy meeting all these fine folks.

Hi Cheryl:
Yes, I'm up for it-- thanks for thinking of me. Probably will post it on Monday; definitely enjoyed reading your list, & will look forward to checking out the others you tagged as well!
Hi Lizzy,
I have never really been interested in memes but now when I read them done by people that I am getting to knoe - like yourself- they actually have some meaning and I learn more about people that interest me. I have been tagged for this one by a couple of other bloggers and have said I will do it - soonish...when I can find some extra time...
I'm going away for a few days later in the week so maybe on my return...
I enjoyed hearing that you are finding retirement more enjoyable than you imagined - me too - I am loving it....so much to see and photograph and learn...at a slow pace....at my pace...
Happy days Lizzy
It's nice to know more about you, thank for sharing all this
Hope you're having a great wkend
xoxo

Visiting blogs on this rainy cold spring night... coming in from Delwyn's blog. I am enjoying this opportunity to visit new faces - thanks
Many thanks for tagging me, just found out now :-). Will try to respond in due time. Now, let's see... tilapia, Robert Plant and fantastic photos, any wonder why I come here so often? I have not eaten tilapia in ages, I think ever since I moved to the UK. My mum used to cook it back home and now you've given me ideas. Many thanks.
Greetings from London.
Fun to get to know you a bit better, Ms. Frizzfrock! Tilapia sounds good...wonder if I have some in the freezer...
It's a good meme, better than many, certainly. I shall be picking it up.
HI Cheryl,
Thanks for the tag and I will certainly accept the challenge to answer in 100 words in tomorrow's post.
veri word is "hoster"

Oooo, I love the photos of Taos. I would love to go back. I hear July is lovely with the lavender blooming.
You and I have the same current obsession.
LOL, I also did this one this morning.
And I see we're into the same sort of clothing - keep it comfy! :-)
So good to get to know a little more about you.
I love coming to a blog and the first thing I read is a meme. You have beatiful photos. Very sweet.
What a nice way to meet you:>) Thanks for your comments over my way. Your photos and descriptions of New Mexico are beautiful. Been wanting to go there for some time now. Perhaps soon.
beautiful pictures...I love New Mexico..2 of my children were born there. Roswell and Farmington.
thanks for stopping by and saying howdy..You can go to youtube.com and enter shephard Smith's rant and I think the video will pop up...it was a great moment..8 years too late..but better late than never..
Lizzy I love 100 years of solitude.
By the way, don't you love Ces.
Love Renee xoxo
Hi Lizzy, just to say that I have responded to your challenge.
Thursday 7th May. That will be the day when I will be responding to this fun meme. Many thanks.
Greetings from London.
Renee, you are right! Ces is a hoot! I got a kick out of her Ninja posting!
Do you have a problem with the "hum", in Taos or do you know anyone who has? I always wonder how big of a problem it REALLY is and since you go there a lot, I thought you might have inside info. I do love Texas too. We have lived there before.
