10 Things with a "T" Connected with Me

Jodi at http://beyondthecrackedwindow.blogspot.com/ has a meme going that is harder than it seems. "The idea is I tell you ten things about me connected with an allotted letter, in this case "T." If anyone else would like to have a go, just leave Jodi a comment and she will send you a letter.

"T"

TK - My first grandson (shown above) with his new Hawaiian outfit on from his other grandparents. This is his new puppy Joe, who his parents plan to raise with TK. I would think a 5 month old would be enough work, but puppy breath is the sweetest. I can't get enough of TK! He has a special place in my heart :) I guess Joe is my 1st granddog...Oh brother!

TAMMY - I have always disliked my name, but a very special woman gave it to me (Grandma Margie). Grandma Margie loved the movie "Tammy and the Bachelor" and the song "Tammy." My mom thought an old woman named Tammy would be silly, so I was named Tamara. It is only used on legal stuff, or when mom got really mad. It was a gift from a woman who taught me how to love.

TOUCH - As I watch my hands slowly die, I savor the feelings of touch. Communicating on my blog, caressing my husband, brushing a stray hair from my child's face, writing down my thoughts and picking up a phone to hear a friends hello. I treasure each day and every touch that remains.

TALE - I love a good story. A book, conversation, articles, movies and blogs. Fiction and non-fiction, happy and sad, romantic and historical.

TROPICAL - Kauai is where I was married and where my ashes will be scattered with Dave. It is our paradise. Flowers, rainbows, warm waters, sea turtles, waves and waves of memories.

TALKER - Yes, I talk too much! My tongue is one of my failing muscles and I work it as often as I can. LOL It will be the hardest bodily function to let go of because I'm very verbal. Just ask my husband and kids. LOL I must start working on my eye communication skills. My oldest said I already have the "if looks could kill" down pat.

TENDERNESS - I love everything about this word! Dave and I give and receive this in many ways. A look, a touch, words...Love!

TESTAMENT- A person's story can inspire others in unimaginable ways. We all have a story to tell and if we share them we can help others. The Bible is full of testaments of how we can get through life's challenges. I no longer fear judgment from others. If giving my testament can encourage one person, the honesty is worth it.

TIVO - I know, I know... I'm limited in my activities and will admit it right here, I enjoy TV. I love Grey's Anatomy, ER, 24, Law & Order etc. Tivo lets me control what I watch and when I watch, commercial free...Woohoo!

THANKFUL - I have this feeling often and it gets my butt out of bed every morning. I'm thankful for the privilege of being allowed to continue this great life!
