This meme is making the rounds ... I actually have been tagged by a few recently, so I owe a few bloggers, but this was actually the easiest - so the others will have to wait.
The rules are relatively simple: bold the items you’ve done; don’t bold items you haven’t done. I won't tag anyone for this, but if you're inclined to join in, please let me know.

I bit! Mine's here.
And, no, there's no basement in the Alamo. (It's actually just stone and mortar.)
Pepito is making a pot he seems quite proud of... And ones is grinding corn to make a tortilla. Can you say that? Tor tee ya!
I think it will be my Friday Foolishness. Thanks, because I haven't been writing lately.
you swam in the the Great Salt Lake? ewwwww. I live in Salt Lake, we locals only show it off, we don't stick any body parts in that water.
I admire you for doing this...they drain me.
Salt Lake is so stinky...all I remember were flies everywhere
