Neat to learn more about you!!
I like your sky diving response.
ditto.
Great list - and that bread does look like thumbs up!!
I enjoyed yours. I'll have a slice of that bread too!
Way to go. Now if we can just get everyone else to spend as ,much time as we all did! ;)
Linda, seemed like everyone else was doing it and I wanted to, but I kind of put it off because I figured nobody really wanted to know all that stuff about me....however I couldn't resist and it was really fun.
Tipper, hope it wasn't too boring
FC, yeah, adventure for me follows a fairly tame route. Jumping out of things doesn't appeal to me much
Nita, thanks, it really is good!
LInda, wish you lived closer!
JB, it was fun! I almost did it after I read yours and Earl's. Then when I saw Linda's I just couldn't resist any more!
That was the best read - thank you so much, it must have taken awhile. Oh, and I love Liz. And her bread looks so gooood. How 'bout the mud!
Teri, thanks, it really was fun and only took a few minutes. We love Liz's bread. She took some to a potluck yesterday and it really went fast. Have a great weekend!
