M is for what's in your wallet

canadian money
MONEY is what I want in my wallet.  I wish I had a MILLION dollars.

When I was little , I remember something called Miles for Millions. My brother, who was about 8 at the time , walked about 5 miles for some charity . 

Maid of the Mist

 I went to Niagara falls once but I wasn't aware of the Maid of the Mist. I had only heard of it from watching the movie "Bruce Almighty".





Miraculous Medal

Mickey and Minnie Mouse


Do you know the muffin man? I hear he's pretty tiny but he makes mad muffins .

The Mediterranean Sea

We lived in Algiers growing up . 2 blocks from the Sea actually. Zeralda. right on the coast . I also went to boarding school in the island of Palma de Mallorca . On that map it is called the Balearic Islands.
  
The Rocky Mountains are the reason we get chinooks in the winter, beautiful sunny weather. I like looking at the mountains but I wouldn't want to live in them.

Ok well that's all for this week. You can find more Alphabe Thursday and the Letter 'M' over at Jenny Matlocks blog . Thanks for all those who participate, you are all wonderful .

  2. I went on the Maid of the Mist. It was a lot of fun. Although even though they give you raincoats you still get somewhat wet LOL.

  8. I feel more worldly having read this. You are the only person whose blog I've read that said "We lived in Algiers growing up." Wow!

  11. I lived on the Mediterranean Sea too...only in Sicily. Only for a short while, but we could watch the ships go by from our apartment deck. It was beautiful Then we moved onto a military base. You came up with a good selection of M words!
