Thurs. 13 ... "B"... just Because...
THURSDAY THIRTEEN
13 things, important to Melli, beginning with letter ...
1. Beach. Yes... we ALL know I LOVE the beach, would live there if I could, and only wear shorts and t-shirts whenever possible! (by the way - yesterday was a shorts day! YES! In February!!! Ya gotta LOVE that! Thank you Lord!)
2. Blogs. Well... I couldn't deny it if I wanted to, now could I? Of course I love blogs! And all my blog readers!!! I love them a little mOre when I feel like I actually have something to say... but when I don't... I don't!
3. Bread. Guilty as charged! Warm bread fresh from the oven is the best! But I like it a few days later from the store too! LOL! I do prefer dark breads to light though -- or at least a good grainy bread. I'm not crazy about white UNLESS it is straight from the oven!
4. Butter. *sheepish grin* Well, you really can't love bread and NOT love butter... right?
5. Backgammon. I love this game! I haven't played it in AGES -- but when my kids were small, I taught them all how to play it, and it was one of our family favorites. One night we had another couple over for dinner, and the guy - Mike - was a backgammon player. Well... Derek (who was 4) said HE wanted to play Mike, and Mike agreed. Mike could not BELIEVE the skill level that Derek played at -- the first game he thought he would "let Derek win" -- but Derek gave him a real run for his money --- and Derek ended up beating Mike 3 for 3!!! I must say Mike took it real well... but he was very surprised! I LOVE that story!!!
6. Books. Thomas Jefferson was quoted as saying "I can not LIVE without books" ... and I agree with him whole-heartedly! They really are my MAIN source of entertainment!
7. Barefoot. I do not LIKE socks and shoes. Would you expect anything different from the shorts and T-shirt girl??? I am almost always barefoot. It has to be REALLY cold for me to wear socks in the house -- and shoes just aren't happening!
8. Banjo. Yep! Yep! Yup! Like me some foot stompin' mew-zic! hehehe... I do! I like to listen to some Banjo... there was a kid I went to High School (long haired hippy freak) who played in a bluegrass band - he introduced me to it, and I've always enjoyed it!
9. Baptism. I AM baptized ... and if I weren't as a baby, I would be anyway! I'm thankful that I am... and I also really REALLY enjoy watching others be baptized. Babies or adults, full body dunk or just a few drops on the forehead.... it's just such a HAPPY experience! Sometimes I wish I could do it again!!! LOL!
10. Bikini. That which I would like to have the body for, though I can not imagine donning one at my age -- even if I DID ever achieve the body that COULD! I know lots of women do though... of course... lots of women DO... oh... never mind! (melli, if you can't say something nice, don't say ANYthing at all!)
11. Boats. *sigh* little ones, BIG ONES, sailing ones, rowing ones, pedaling ones, motor ones, cruising ones ... Yachts! Any ol' kind will do...
12. Balloons. Who DOESN'T like a balloon? They are festive and FUN! Balloons automatically mean PARTY!!! (which usually also means ... CAKE!)
13. Bible. The MOST important book in my collection!!! I had actually read the Bible cover to cover a couple of times back in my younger years. I didn't "get" it. I'm not sure I would "get it" yet if it weren't for my Bible Study groups! But thanks to them, I have learned so MUCH and I really DO "get it" -- and it's AWESOME!!! Of course, Pastor helps too -- he brings the Bible to life when he speaks... it really is just the BEST!!!

Beautiful B blog!
Shorts, t-shirts and barefoot. This is practically my entire wardrobe in Hawaii. However at work they do "Strongly suggest" we wear shoes.

I agree with Quilly, it sound as if you should move to Hawaii.
I have a bad cold and am in my bed, I feel as if somebody had smashed a hammer on my head and my head is red and big like a blown up baloon !

Quilly - Do flip flops count as shoes?
Gattina - The more I visit Quilly, the more I think so too! Odd... I never had ANY desire to visit Hawaii until SHE moved there! I sure do hope you feel better by now!
Baba - Hmmm... you are right! Bold is me. I didn't think of it! ;)
Mar - Brownies??? Oooohhhh... I've given up CHOCOLATE for Lent... I was ignoring brownies! LOL!
Grams - I wish your Mom was at MY house!!!

You need to come my way and stay on the BEACH sometime. I mean you'd LOVE it, I know!!
I am there for you on the barefoot thing. I hate shoes.
Love your list! You're the BEST!
