Congrats on your award. I love to read more about fellow bloggers. The things you love about winter, number 3 is one of my favorites too. Places you want to visit, I highly recommend #'s 4,6 & 7.

Lot of info there! Good to know!

@Heather: It took me almost a month. No hurry.

@SquirrelQueen: I wasn't exaggerating. It was 107 last summer...not heat index...actual temperature.

@Rachel Cotterill: There are a lot of good ones out there. I may follow the trail backwards and see what I find.

@yonca: I think "pick that up" is on the top of every mom's list.

@gayle: You have been to all of those places? I'm jealous.

@buffalodick: Glad you found it interesting.

Claudya Martinez said...

Take me to Hawaii with you.

Got the tag Jen! So overwhelmed with snow that my blogging routine is totally off.
Fun to read your answers; hmmmm...wonder how I'd answer the list.
Thanks for including me - I hope I'll have a new visitior. :)
