Hey Darlene, except for the major difference on number 11, I think we are pretty similar. BTW, I set the cruise control on 65 last evening when XM played "Life in the Fast Lane." We won't discuss my driving on I-59, 20 or 65, OK?

Let's just say my lead foot can "cruise control" 80mph better than any cruise control ever thought about!! LOL!!!

When I went for my Accord DH wanted me to get the Mazda RX 8 but I knew the temptation would be too great.....too old to lose my licensce!! LOL!!

You did it! Love your 100 Things.

You do realize that if you are terrified of bugs and mice (#44)you should really give up the dream of living in the country (#19)? LOL

Dear loving, middle daughter,
Oh, I have learned so many things about you I didn't know.
You are so caring of others (this I did know) and I would have never thought you were afraid of the dark.
You don't mess up your cooking. You could be a gourmet cook if you had time to work at it.
Max is a lucky dog to have you as his pet. ;-)
Of course, Johnny is lucky to be your husband. He knows which side his bread is buttered on.
You are 100% quite a lady and a loving daughter.

Love you,
Mom

Such a great list - you sound like a mixture of my best friend and myself ;o) The sitting on the front porch in the morning is great, isn't it? We used to a have a bird nesting on ours, but she moved off :o(

I wanted to read Tasha Tudor's book but our library couldn't get it - still on my list! The bit I could read in a review sounded beautiful.
