  1. I love your 100 Things list! In fact, I'm thinking that people should compile and share them at family reunions, and that couples considering marriage should exchange them. : )

    I,too,enjoy a cup of tea at the end of the day (decaf), and my family loves it when I make scones.

    I enjoyed The Shack very much, and have it on CD also. : ) It really made me think.

    You're the second person I know of who named their Dell computer "Adell."

    Read good books and write every day until you actually go back to college. I returned to school (when my children were older) to get my Master's degree in education, and all that reading and writing helped a lot.

    After I posted my 100 Things list, my siblings wrote their own lists. Their lists made me laugh, and cry. I hope that some of your friends and family follow your example, and write out their own lists.

  2. I loved it! And totally don't mind being outed for liking South Park - it's a really funny program 'I am the Coon'.

    I hope you guys renew your vows one day and that I'm in the country to be there and see it.

  3. Thanks for the great idea Carol! Actually, I meant to give you a shout out for giving me the idea, so I'll edit this now to add that in. It was so much fun to write.

    I'm glad to hear someone else has named their computer! Now I don't feel quite as odd! :) I'm hoping writing regularly here will help me, and I must get back into reading too so thank you so much for the great advice! Another excuse for me to blog :)

    I hope some of my friends & family also complete their lists.

    I am not the coon. I am the other guy. My name escapes me right now :) LOL
