Tag rules are to post the sixth picture from folder six of your computer.

I smudged a little bit on this one. The real sixth picture from the sixth folder was of my sister's horse's giant gaping bloody wound on her leg that she got this past June from some nasty barbed wire. I did not want to post that, so here is the sixth of the sixth from my Picasa album. : )

This is a picture of King William III, victor of the battle of the Boyne, and defeater of the tyrant James II! My brother and I pulled this picture off the internet for some invitations we were making for a 12th of July party. For those of you who don't know, July 12, 1690 (by the new calender) is when William and his Protestant army defeated James' French Catholic army by the banks of the Boyne river in Ireland. This battle  secured the English crown for King William III and Queen Mary II and freedom from James II for good.  This is one of our family's many favorite periods of history. Not only for the significance it had directly then for England, Ireland, Scotland, and all of Europe, but for the major significance it has had on our own country's war of independence,  forming of government, and the preserving of our religious freedom! Thank God for The Glorious Revolution of 1688!

His-story is so amazing!!!

I'm "It" again!

Tag rules: List six things you learned in the past month.

1. I learned how to play part of Tchaikovsky's "Waltz of the Flowers" (Schirmer's edition) on the piano.

2. I learned that it was someone by the name of Palladius, who was invited by King Eugenius II to purge the Scottish church of the Pelagion heresy, who laid the first stone for Romish hierarchy to set foot in Scotland about the year 450.  Before then the church had held to a Presbyterian form of government.

3. I learned one little dead mouse can make a surprising amount of stink, and to be more careful sorting the laundry, because you might grab and sort a little dead stinky mouse.

4. I relearned that X-box is a "Vanity of Vanities" and "What advantage does a man have in all his work which he does under the sun?" Or "before the X-box" as it is in this case, NONE! To sum it all up X-box is a bad invention!

(as I am sure you already know,that was for you Robert:)

5. I learned that 'Philosophy' in the Greek means 'love of knowledge'

6. I learned that the movie "Fire Proof" is a very good movie!

Boy! Good thing there were only six questions, I might of run out and embarrassed myself! (just kidding of course)

I think I am a little too out of breath from being chased and tagged so offten to tag anyone else, so forgive for braking the rules! :)

What was the last movie you watched? "Drums along the Mohawk" 

If you could live anywhere in the world where would it be?  Scotland has always been been my fanciful dream place. I am happy where I am though, and will try to be content where ever God puts me. (That task will become harder the further north and closer to Yankee land that is however.)

Pride and Prejudice or Sense and Sensibility? Pride and Prejudice without a doubt! 

Skirts or Pants? I prefer wearing skirts, but I have nothing against pants. (especially when riding horses!)

Would you rather sing or play an instrument? I love doing both, but due to the quality of my voice, playing an instrument is probably the kinder deed to do for the sake of the rest of the world. (unless that instrument is something like my harmonica, with which I might very likely drive the rest of the world nuts!)

Love or hate roller coasters? I don't know, my one experience with a roller coaster was when I was six, and judging by the fact I got off of it in tears, I dear say I did not like it at the time! I very well might now however.

Six Random things about me....

I love to play the piano and been playing for over seven years.

I have loved horses almost my whole life.

One of my favorite of favorite psalms is Psalm 119:00.

I love to read, and I especially love reading history.

I think British comedies are one of the most embarrassing and stupidest creations of man (especially Monty Python)  "Jeeves and Wooster" is the only one I have found I can tolerate and even like.

My brother Robert's half birthday is my birthday and his birthday is my half birthday. (We were born eighteen months apart to the day.)

Here is one of my favorite pictures called, "God speed".

I tag Sydney and Stephanie! Sorry I can't make six, most everyone I know has been tagged already!
