It’s Friday already – time to fill in the blanks in the four sentences we get every week from our co-hosts Ellen of 15andMeowing and Annie of McGuffy’s Reader. It’s easy – we get two sentences from each of our hosts and we fill in the blanks in the sentences. Then what? Well, we visit everyone who’s linked up to the blog and see how THEY filled things in – amazing how much you can learn about people from some blanks in a sentence………besides, it’s lots of fun. If you want to join in – just click Annie’s badge above – link up and VOILA.
Here are this week’s sentences and Mom is doing them this week as they are more “people” oriented – thank heavens I don’t pay taxes so can’t fill that one in AT ALL……!! Mom’s fill-ins are in GREEN.
1. My Chinese zodiac animal is PIG – I adore pigs so I’m “good” with that!.
2. My zodiac sign is LIBRA and I am “right on” with much of what the standard Libra description says – for the most part anyway!.
3. Income tax season is something my husband deals with but we are LUCKY because we almost always break even – our tax people have us right on target apparently.
4. In hindsight, I can say without any hesitation that I have had a wonderful life thusfar – ups and downs yes but I rejoiced over the ups and endured the downs and here I am – still going strong as I head into my 71st year. Grateful? You betcha.
Thanks Mom! I don’t know any of that stuff about signs and zodiac animals but I hope my sign is CAT – I’m getting good at being one I think!
Oh before I go, I know some of you read our Thursday blog where Angel Sammy gives us a photo to write a poem about every week? Well the photo that Angel Sammy gave us yesterday for NEXT Thursday’s poetry inspiration was a cool photo and we thought it might make an even cooler puzzle. So here’s a puzzle for those of you who enjoy jigsaws. First the photo, then the puzzle. Good luck! You can post your time in comments if you like!
it’s interesting to find out the chinese sign…the mama and me are monkeys… and it is no wonder that we drive the poor rooster dad crazy ;O)))

Thank you for participating in the fill-ins, great answers. My mom is a Libra too, I seem to get along very well with Libras 🙂 That is great that you come out even on the taxes, better than paying in. Excellent answer for #4.

The Chinese Zodiac has me as a rabbit, but I prefer the zodiac that has me in the year of the cat. And I’m a Cancer, which as I found out when I did my zodiac series, is maybe the lamest of all the signs…

The whole horoscope/zodiac thing is a culture unto itself…..it’s all very interesting and ancient in origin so I suppose SOMEBODY knew what they were talking about but it’s all CHINESE to me (hahaha). Actually I fit the Libra and Pig thing to a “T”.
