Wowee! Congrats on your 100th post!
I have to say you outdid yourself on this one. Cool, we know all about you now. :o)
I agree with you..hot weather do stink! Oh, if you make yourself a hoop skirt you may even want to volunteer at one of the civil war era historical homes near you at Christmastime..it's loads of fun to re-enact times gone by.
Have a great week!
#30 I hate change too! I'd rather just have dollars!
Seriously, I enjoyed the post. I remember you reading the same books over and over. I'd purposely make mistakes just so you would point them out.
Ummm. . . I like math.
