Friday Random 5

Okay, here we go.....another Friday with Nancy!

I don't know the year of this photo, but I was probably in junior high.

1.     I have almost all solid colors in my closet.   I used to wear prints when I had a career and would dress up 5 days a week.   Now that I live on our little ranch property with animals, everything is a solid color.   I'm not really sure why.   A lot of fabric prints just don't appeal to my eye.   Maybe the designers aren't doing a good job?

2.     I am fascinated by genetics.   My two passions at this time in my life are photography and horses.   My grandfather was a horse trainer and my grandmother never went anywhere without her Brownie camera.   Do my interests come from them?   I think it's possible.

3.     When I was in high school, I had very long hair and very long legs.   As a freshman, I was called "Legs" by a rather cocky senior named Tom.   Maybe he thought I liked the attention, but it drew attention to me that I could have done without because I had a rather shy personality.

4.      I can groom and ride my horse, getting my hands dirty, then casually wiping them off before I eat an apple.   It doesn't bother me in the least.   I would never do that after shaking hands with a person or in a restaurant.   I haven't had the flu or any serious illness in many years.   Being a bit of a germ-a-phobe has its advantages.

5.      My grandma's house was filled with family treasures.   When a tornado blew through her town, she lost everything except a high chair that was my mom's.   I have that high chair and will give it to my sister's daughter.
