My First "tag"!

Well, it was bound to happen some time! Sommer over at A View From The Mountain has tagged me for the Birthday Meme...so here goes!


Here's how it works:
Go to Wikipedia and type in your birthday (month and day). Then choose 3 Events, 2 Births, 1 Holiday, and tag 3 friends. There are 3 blog slots in the meme list. If you are tagged, you remove the name in the first slot and bump everyone up so that your blog name can be added to the bottom. Participation is optional!

The Hermit of the Southern March
A View From The Mountain
Tilly's Tea


I tag:
Eliza (when you get back is fine!)
Christen
Mama (and when you get back is fine too!)
