My First Post

I am a daily follower of several blogs, but never really thought I would do one of my own. But, 2009 is about doing things I have never done before. I started on January 1st by trading the sides of the bed that the husband & I sleep on, for the first time in 30 years...we both liked it better & I have very vivid & fantastical dreams now. I received an email from my friend Erika yesterday that was one those "about you questions" lists. Here was my response:
