Chloe Poppins

Nichole challenged me, and I was so distracted getting ready for our vacation, I didn’t even know it. I’m supposed to write 7 random things about myself that most folks might not know. Hmmmm?

1. I was an original Duran Duran fan, with posters on the walls and everything. This is a fact about which Mark, Phoebe and many others routinely give me a hard time.

2. Until our beach vacation at Topsail Island last year, I was NOT a big fan of the beach. I don’t like “sand in my shoes” or anywhere else for that matter. But…. seeing the kids REALLY enjoy the beach changed my feelings.

3. I played tennis all through High School and would love to take it up again. Happily… Sam, Sophie and Wils think that they would like to try it.

4. I don’t really enjoy eating out very much and prefer to eat at home. I love to cook and don’t mind the cleanup, but am REALLY happy when Mark wants to do that.

5. I actually own, and use, an iPod. My brother cheerfully pointed out that I’ve only used a fraction of the capacity….. but I do use it.

6. At one time I thought I would go to Med School, but I’m so glad I didn’t do that. I much prefer my current circumstances-no matter how hectic.

7. I don’t like to fly over large bodies of water. So, the chances of my seeing Paris, or Hawaii, or Austrailia are very slim. I’m not sure there are enough sedatives….

Walker Family Vacation….. more to come soon.

It’s been a hectic month and I’m 5 recipes behind posting. They’ve been tried, just not posted. The Creamy Jalepeno Cheese Grits and the Pecan Oatmeal Bars will definitely be repeated. Wonderful!! Here are a few photos of what we’ve been up to in the last month.
