I created my own meme!!
People who visit us get a taste of who we are, what we're into, and what we're like. I notice that my kids tend to show new visitors the same computer things they like, or play music for them that they love that our guests have probably never heard, and offer the same snacks.
Since there are lots of people I know via the internet who may never get the chance to visit us, I thought I'd offer a virtual glimpse of a visit to our house.
If you came to our house--
You would see:
Art posters on the walls (Mona Lisa; Waterhouse's Lady of Shalott, Miranda and the Tempest, The Shrine; Constable's Hay-wain; Bouguereau's The Bird Lesson; Edmund Blair Leighton's The Accolade; Sir Frank Dicksee's La Belle Dame Sans Merci; John Singer Sargent's Garden Study of the Vickers Children)
We'd probably feed you:
corn chips
Red Vines, if they aren't rock hard
And offer you this to drink:
diluted juice, or your choice of hot tea (we have lots of varieties!)
We'd undoubtedly ask if you'd read:
The Chronicles of Narnia
The Lord of the Rings
(If you said yes, then we'd ask if you'd read The Space Trilogy or The Silmarillion)
We'd want to play this music for you:
Whirlwind of Leaves by Tom Root (our best friend's CD!)
Celtic Skies (unknown but great Celtic praise music)
Vienna Teng
Sara Groves
If you were a true Narnia fan: Roar of Love (2nd Chapter of Acts' Narnia album)
If you were a piano fan: Julianne Markavitch's CD of Tarentellas
We'd want to tell you the latest about:
The Prince Caspian movie we recently saw
We'd probably suggest a game of:
Quiddler (inside) or Frisbee Golf (outside)
We might show off:
Tim's graduation announcements, which are still in progress (if you wait a couple of weeks, we might be able to show you his actual diploma!)
We might get on the computer and show you:
Lego Beowulf (parts 1, 2, 3)
Weird Al's Star Wars American Pie
If it was a long enough visit, we might watch:
The Climb (a movie about two mountain climbers)
Our Mutual Friend PBS miniseries (it would have to be a really long visit for this one!)
The Sandy Bottom Orchestra
(Have you seen the Julie Andrews version of Cinderella?)
What would a visit to your house be like?
We're tagging:
The Squirrels at Dewey's Treehouse

I'm tagging Thimble Cottage, too - even though I'm there every week.
