Erin over at EC’s Maragritaville tagged me.  I hardly ever get tagged, so here goes…

“The rules…”

* Go to your sixth picture folder then pick your sixth picture.
* Pray that you remember the details.
* Post it on your blog.
* Tag 5 others, leave a comment to let them know they’ve been tagged.

 This was taken on our two year anniversary last February.  We had purchased a pet barrier to put in my car so Merlin could start going places with again.  We had just finished getting the thing in there, after some frustrating instructions, and I’d brought Merlin out to check out the car.  He jumped up and we were trying to do a hold away of ourselves and get the dog in the photo as well.  As usual, Merlin did not want to cooperate so this is what we got.

I’m not going to tag anyone.  I read and comment on quite a lot of blogs, but I’m not consistent enough to expect someone to do a meme because I told them to.  So if you want to do this meme, go for it. 

I was tagged by the wonderful Erin. The rules are simple -

1) Write your own six word memoir.
2) Post it on your blog and include a visual illustration if you’d like.
3) Link to the person that tagged you in your post, and to the original post if possible so we can track it as it travels across the blogosphere.
4) Tag at least five more blogs with links.
5) Don’t forget to leave a comment on the tagged blogs with an invitation to play!

Jake, Merlin, Family, Friends… Finally Happy.

I’m not going to tag anyone, simply because I don’t have a lot of people who I know are reading (aka- that comment) that have blogs.  Here’s the deal, if any of you reading have blogs do the meme.  :)  It’ll be fun.

For the first time ever, I have been tagged!  Erin has chosen me as one of her 8 to complete this meme.
