oh my goodness, you *really* made me laugh out loud with the cockroach comment :D It made your dad smile :) I have a picture of you holding a lamb at Heifer project. What ones of mine did you not know about? Maybe you, Aut and I should have a "ask Momma any question you want" session. I'm always amazed when you all say that you didn't know something about me. I enjoyed your list alot :)
I too used my Pinnacle experience as my mountain climbing memory. I enjoyed your additional comments, I shoudl've done that, too.
By the way, LOVED the letter we got in the mail today!
I love this. I am totally gonna do it. It's nice that I got to share so many of those. One of them should have been:
"spoken to your best friend just by looking them in the eyes."
Why didn't you bold 68? Maybe I know why?????????
I had the same question as Thea--No 68? Huh? I was also surprised you hadn't done 13, 102, 133, or 134. I'm gonna go with you have milked a cow before (55) at Heifer. Oh, and when I was going through old pictures the other day, I found a picture of 146. Promise I won't show anyone. : )
