And this
year:

3. I enjoy listening to Jenna sing; I admire her enthusiasm
4. I have called the authorities on
suspicious people - I called WVPD many times about drug house across the street
- which, according to my son, is still a drug house.
5.
The only thing I don't enjoy about
fall (autumn) are political elections that take place every other year and campaign
posters that clutter up my view of nature.
6. I have never mastered a second language
- not even accounting. But that is the
one I am currently working on.
7. My favorite music is pop, 70's, 80's
and Contemporary Christian
8. I've been back to visit members living
in Virginia only one time; I am
currently facebook friends with only a few that I had served with.
9. I still enjoy peanut butter -
especially when combined with chocolate
10. I still preserve memories and take lots
of pictures. But most of it is digital
and rarely ever makes it out of the computer.
11. I usually listen to whatever music that
Jenna listens to
12. I have changed ribbon in a manual
typewriter; I remember inserting a two-toned
ribbon that was black and red.
13. LOVE spell check.
14. I sleep in an upright position; Roland has to be flat.
15. I have improved. Still have a ways to go. But I have grown in Oregon. I'm not so uptight.

children's reading program and festival

20. I often get the privilege of cooking or
helping to cook and have Jenna put clean dishes away; more often than not I generally do dishes by myself. I think it's totally awesome when Roland does
it.
21 Not good at waiting; will probably never
master that one. (see here)
