Nevada City International Teddy Bear Convention 2009

Well folks, that time of year is just around the corner. Spring will be here soon and along with it, the 26th annual Nevada City International Teddy Bear Convention.

(Edit Feb 2 - Alas, I won't be able to participate in the show this year, but I will be there one day to visit.)
This will be my third year participating, although last year I was "absent/present", as a last minute Tennessee trip for me put my gracious husband Dave behind the table in my place. My hero!
The show will take place April 3rd, 4th, and 5th, Friday Noon-5:00, Saturday 10:30-5:00, Sunday 10:30-3:00at historic Miners Foundry, 325 Spring Street at Bridge Street, Nevada City, California.
If you could use a day or even a weekend away, this would be the time and Nevada City's charming historic downtown area would be the place.

Me too tagged . . .

I've been "tagged" by Tammy of Beckoning Bears and Nancy of Dog Patch Critters. . . which means that I must share 6 random things about myself and tag 6 other people who might want to play. I've posted the rules at the end of this post, which is one of the rules.

Alrighty then, here we go . . .

1) My brother was born on my third birthday.

2) I love overcast, cloudy, foggy and/or rainy days. I much prefer winter weather over summer weather. Thunder and lightening make me giddy.

3) I have really bad restless leg syndrome. If it weren't for medication, I would NEVER sleep, ever.

4) When I was a little girl, I loved to catch reptiles. I often had snakes, salamanders, lizards, and/or frogs in buckets and containers in the back yard.

5) I have hypersensitive senses. My daughter says I have the ears of a dog, nose of a bloodhound and eyes of a gopher. High pitched sounds hurt my ears and head. I can't listen to female sopranos. Scrape me off the ceiling if I hear Mariah Carey. In stores that play this type of music, I walk around with my fingers in my ears. Eeeek. I have the nose of a bloodhound. I have to go stand in another grocery line if the person next to me had garlic or onions for lunch . . . . last week. Ick. I have the eyes of a gopher. I can't go outside, even to get the newspaper at the end of the driveway, without my sunglasses on.

6) I was a respiratory therapist for 10 years and an insurance agent for 17 years.

THE RULES (for this game of tag):

1. LINK TO THE PERSON WHO TAGGED YOU
2. POST THE RULES ON YOUR BLOG
3. WRITE SIX RANDOM THINGS ABOUT YOURSELF
4. TAG SIX PEOPLE AT THE END OF YOUR POST AND LINK TO THEM
5. LET EACH PERSON KNOW THEY ARE TAGGED AND LEAVE A COMMENT ON THEIR BLOG
6.LET THE TAGGER KNOW WHEN YOUR ENTRY IS UP
7. DON’T BREAK THE CHAIN (not actually a rule)
Here are my tagged bloggers:
