MemeII - Cyndee Haydon tells all....

 

cyndee haydon in clearwater floridaInquiring minds asked so here it is.......................

The irony is that I was MeMe'd in March when I was first here and did a meme which I totally messed up because I actually posted to the group rather than on my blog for the group - that blonde hair will get you in trouble all the time. So please Check out:  I was challenged to tell more about Me! Me!- so here goes...

So interestingly enough 3 of my new friends - Ashley Drake & Peggy Edwards, Thesa Chambers, nominated me to tell more about myself so here goes, Part II - 5 more things....

I would like to pass the meme on to Susie Roscoe, Katrina Madewell and Mana Tulberg:

 

 

1) We started homeschooling our two boys this last September - I must say Jack does most the heavy lifting- I'm the field trip / substitute teacher when his work calls him away :-).  

2) I was offered a scholarship to college for softball. I played growing up and played pitcher and right field. Learned the meaning of teamwork being both the "focal point" as pitcher and the "weaker link" in right field - doing what the team needs.   

3) I love the water - and have been swimming since I was 2 years old. I swam competitively through HS too.  I love the beach and the beach lifestyle.cyndee haydon on clearwater beach florida Flat Mark Flanders can vouch for that! I love the beach, the beach and did I say the beach - oh yeah, and throw in beach sunsets too.  

joes crab shack in clearwater florida4) I enjoy red wine and dream of touring California Vineyards or France at sometime (kid-free) - so looking forward to visiting my friends in that area :-)   For now I'll have to enjoy a glass at all my  favorite local restaurants.

5) We enjoy camping and getting away from it all and are lucky to live in an area with lots of great places to get away too within a days drive.  clearwater beach floridaFt DeSoto is our favorite spot!      welcome clearwater beach florida

 

 

 

 

 

I'd love to share a Florida Beach Sunset - you may find you fall in love with them too... 

Updated 5/30/07 - Here's my husband's Meme if you want to meet my better half..And The MeMe Goes To....Jack

Hi Cyndee, sorry if we bombarded you with meme requests...I went back to read your original meme and am just blown away by your artistic abilities.  You are so talented!  Thanks for sharing with us.  (Your boys are just adorable!)

Cyndee - Thanks for sharing - I mean, you didn't really have a choice! All the same, I am glad to know more about you. The sunset was beautiful and one of the things I miss most about California.

Cyndee,

Nice to find out more about you.  Those gulf coast sunsets are SO beautiful.  We used to go down to St. George Island back when we lived in Georgia.  We are counting the days down now to our beach vacation on the Carolina Coast.

Ashley - it's flattering to know that I've started so many friendships that want to know more about me than just what I know about "Clearwater Florida Real Estate"

Rita - I still see a visit here in your future :-) I gotta say Beach sunsets are a great way to end the day! Tranquil and Majestic. My sister and parents have a house on the beach at Kill Devil Hills, NC - is that anywhere near you? I may come up for a week - it would be great to get together.

Ashley - you always make me smile - thank you!
Posted by Cyndee Haydon 727-710-8035 Clearwater Beach-Pinellas County Waterfront (Charles Rutenberg Realty) over 3 years ago

Cyndee,

We are about an hour south of Raleigh in the middle of the state.  We go to the beach at Oak Island south of Wilmington.  The island runs east - west so you can get sunrises and sunsets over the water.  The only bad thing is our beach vacation goes by so quickly every year.

Cyndee ~ You've got some cute boys there!  How cool you home school or Daddy does...he must be very patient and proud!  Your sunsets are great too.  BTW you need to put a <br /> or more after your last link and before The Button (you know which one I mean) to give it a space.  <br /> is like a carriage return...

Cyndee,

I originally missed you on my list but now you are in place.

Since you were a pitcher can you arm wrestle well?

I grew up across the street from a girl who fast-pitched who could also out arm wrestled most of her classmates......boys or girls!

Lucky :)
