What movie were you in?

And I realized that I did walk on the beach in the moonlight, on my honeymoon. How could I forget that? So I'm up one more.

Let's go to Europe. I'm all for it. :)

This was an extremely fun blog, and I need to come back and review with more time!

By the way, I counted 100, not 53!

We played in the same band together! If you were one of the flutes in my senior year, I can still see you glaring at me as we marched down the streets of Salt Lake! As drum major, I made you guys play a lot!

Gilian, these were beautiful! I won't go into my accomplishments here, but with your permission, I may take your list and do as you suggest, Bold the items on my blog site!

Deep hugs for you and all your loved ones this day!
