6th in the 6th - I've been tagged by Giggleberry!

I've been tagged by Amy from Giggleberry Creations! The tag is to take part in the 6 by 6 game.
RULES:
Choose the 6th image out of your 6th picture folder from your computer and blog it. Then tag 6 more people to do the same.

So, here is the 6th photo in my 6th album:


This photo is one of hundreds (maybe thousands) I took while we lived in California. We had a blast exploring all the parks in and around our home in the Santa Cruz mountains, and beyond. This was taken at Neery Lagoon Park - a super cool park with two playgrounds, sand to play in and a boardwalk through the water, perfect for the birdwatchers in our family. We had a great time that day, just playing and walking and taking photos. Good memories!

So now to tag my six - I am tagging:
1. Celtic Cat Photos
2. Rare Image Photography
3. Handicrafts
4. Julie Magers Soulen Photography
5. g(Art)en
6. mkc photography by Michelle Ciarlo-Hayes

Two Truths and a Lie Answers.....

Ok, for the three of you who played this game, here is the answer.........

1. I actually did see both Donny Osmond and the real Elvis Presley in concert. Again, not the same concert. I saw Donny Osmond when I was 6, wore my long dress and everything. Asked my father, "Can he see me, Daddy?"

The Elvis concert was when I was older. He was handing out scarfs . All the women were screaming. Pretty incredible actually.

2. I did spend 6 weeks in Oxford, England (Balliol College) during college studying architecture and English lit. Danced in a disco with a Belgian guy named Axel (who bore a striking resemblance to Billy Idol), spent a week in Paris, met a soap opera star, visited the Lake district (breathtakingly beautiful), went to William Wordsworth's house (enchanting), saw the Rosetta stone, made some very good friends, and had a lot of fun.

3. "I am very outgoing, the life of the party." This is the lie. I am pretty shy - always have been.

Thank you for playing!

Two truths and a lie game!

I saw this on my friend Jen's blog and thought it was fun. So here is my list - two of these things are true, and one is not. Which one is the lie? Leave your guess in the comments section below - I'll reveal the answer on Thursday.

1. I have seen both Donny Osmond and Elvis Presley in concert. (Not the same concert, and yes, the real Elvis Presley, and not recently, for obvious reasons.)

2. During college, I spent 6 weeks in Oxford, England studying architecture and English Literature.

3. I am really outgoing, the life of the party.

Let's hear your two truths and a lie!
