About a year ago I posted 20 Random Things which was to be the first of 5 installments. It was followed by 20 More Things and ended there. I was recently tagged by Vivian along with Cris to do 5 things, but since Cris isn't gonna -- I'll do 10 which will bring me to and even 50.
41. I learned to swim the summer I graduated from highschool. I was going to college in the fall and moving into an apt with a pool. Another classmate learned with me -- he was going to the Naval Academy to become a Navy Seal.
42. I hang with a group of women who are in tech pubs. I am an engineer, but there are mostly men in my profession so I tend to gravitate to where the women are. I can code but I can't write.
43. I collect Longaberger baskets.
44. ...their pottery.
45. ...and wrought iron.
The next 5 are holiday related:
46. I roasted my first turkey when I was 38 (not too long ago).
47. I can my own whole berry cranberry sauce the weekend before Thanksgiving. 5 jars. I open 2 the day of, pawn off 2 to relatives, save the last for me.
48. I don't like to think about any particular holiday before the most immediate one is over. I don't think about Thanksgiving until after Halloween and I don't think about Christmas until after Thanksgiving -- all the other holidays are far enough apart not to require any resistance on my part.
49. I don't shop the day after Thanksgiving, not even for yarn.
50. In fact, I try to avoid the mall between Thanksgiving and New Year's Eve...unfortunately, this being "shopping" season, it can't be helped.

I went back and read your previous 40 things, very interesting! I share your way of gardening, but instead of ripping things out, I tell my husband what I want in the garden and let him worry about how to make it happen.
I always thought if you were born here you are second generation immigrant. Otherwise what would you call your mom's generation?
