Photo Meme…

This looked like a fun meme and I don’t have much for you today so I am going to give it a shot… Thanks to Threecollie.

The Rules:
1. Go to your Picture Folder on your computer or wherever you store your pictures.
2. Go to the 6th Folder and then pick the 6th Picture.
3. Post it on your blog and tell the story that goes with the picture.
4. Tag 5 friends to do the same thing and leave a comment on their blog telling them about it.
6
I didn’t take this photo since I was not alive in 1912, but the sixth folder just happened to be my collection of ships built by the White Star line, making the sixth picture the Titanic.  I do know that this picture was taken in Belfast, Ireland.

I’m not going to tag anyone, but whoever wants to to this, I’d love to see it!
