Ack! I've never been tagged before, but I suppose it was inevitable. I have now "arrived"! Thank you, ! So, here is my response to the tagging:

If you get Tagged:
1. Post these rules.
2. Each person tagged must post 8 random (hopefully interesting) facts about themselves.
3. Tags should write a journal of these facts.
4. At the end of the post 8 more bloggers are tagged and named.
5. Go to their page and leave a comment telling them that they're tagged.

My eight random things:
1) I am an American mutt, of German, Danish and Scots-Irish descent mainly. My sixth great grandfather was a colonel in the American Revolution, and his house still stands as a historical site in West Virginia. Thanks to the efforts of my parents and other relatives, they've traced our family tree back 400 years (wow, I've never looked at it that way!)
2) I am learning how to be the master of my domain, hehe, by building a new website. It's at Fine Art by Mary. It's a steep learning curve!
3) I have a boxer dog that is a big oaf named Kirby.
4) My user ID, Mindypin, is my late miniature shnauzer's nickname. She lived to the ripe ol' doggy age of 14, and I still miss her dearly.
5) I go to sleep way later than I should, about two or three in the morning most "nights."
6) I used to be an office manager/bookkeeper/admin until I suddenly developed a lung ailment. I am now pretty much homebound on oxygen, so, I've managed to redirect my energy and focus into my art and other creative pursuits.
7) I love artichokes.
8) I love God above all and am grateful to him for the abundant blessings in my life.

I am now going to tag the following dear peeps:
, , , , , , and . I will understand if any of you have to "beg off," because some people don't care to be tagged.
