It is so interesting to read about you...I really enjoyed it. I'd say, and I may be just a tad biased , that becoming a grandmother is the most wonderful additon to your list. I don't think it could be topped by a black lincoln or any thing else! Boy do I miss those baby years, my grands are now young men. I'm reliving those fleeting, precious years through your sweetie...keep the updates coming!

Well, like I've said a million times.... we are practically twins! At least, according to this list we have more things in common than not... It's good to know I'm not the only person who gets sick when it's humid....but oh my... How do you manage to go grocery shopping only occasionally? I'd love to know *that* secret! :) Blessings, Debra

I love your list. I love that you are diabetic and yet still love those peanut M&M's. My diabetic husband would be high-fiving you on the choice.

I love silence too. My five children daily remind me how much I love silence. I am not counting down the days to school starting again.
