I enjoyed reading your 100 things. Very interesting!
Congratulations on your 100th. here's to the next 100. What a wonderful list, I don't think I could write a list like that.
Have a lovely day.
Yvonne.
Great list! Congratulations on your 100th post!
You sound like a fun person!
I can't imagine living in the same place all my life, though. My family moved constantly when I was a kid. (Military)
Great list Carol. I loved it. I also hang my clohtes by color, thought I was wierd!
Congrats on your hundredth! I see from your list we have a lot in common. One of my biggest challenges is to wean myself off of sodas; it's become a health issue, so now I HAVE to do it!
Wow - you ARE tall! What a great list - Good for you for breaking that cycle! Have a great weekend :)
What an awesome list! I related (a lot) to most of the items! I think you listed hubby as your best friend twice (I didn't go back to check) but I kinda liked that! It's important! :)
33. I don't like last minuteness
Me either! Congratulations on your 100th post. Thanks for sharing so much of yourself.
Congrats Carol! That was one cool post because I got to get to know you a little better! Good to hear we have so much in common! I think you wrote that your husband is your best friend twice! That's amazing! I was smiling the whole time I read your list... :-)
Dear Carol,
I am quite a bit older than you (I'm nearly 77) but we have a whole lot in common, believe it or not! Congrats on your 100th posting! I love art, I live on part of the farm that used to belong to my family, but does no longer. It was like coming home. I can see the house we lived in when I was a teen-ager (and later years)from where I live now. I only live about 25 miles from where I was born in 1933. And a lot more stuff we have in common.
I'll be back.
Ruby
