  1. It's a fun list of things right enough and you have done some of the very interesting ones!

    I'm just catching up with your news and seen you went for a job. Job interviews (especially if you haven't had one for a while) can be SO intimidating. I am sure you did your very best on the day - there may be something even better than this one! If you'd like any help another time then this is my area so feel free to ask.

  5. I find it strangely funny that you have been to Niagara Falls and the White House but I have not. And that I've seen the Changing of the Guard but you have not. What does it all mean?? Sadly, I don't think I could do this questionnaire because my memory is so bad...

    Oh, and Quilt Museum People? Who NEEDS ya anyhow!!
