  1. Wow Helen! That must have taken you quite a while to complete!

    You made me laugh several times (especially your #1 thing you love about winter!), and I thought your answers were very interesting. What wonderful lists.

    Thanks for the smile!

  2. I like your list, and i love to read others, but I don't think I would have any luck deciding.
    But if you really want it, I hope you get the camera and a zillion lens.

    We love your pictures. To be honest it is a joy to see patches in the pose you caught. It is priceless.
    Love,
    Jack & Sherry

  3. good answers helen. you're right ... it isn't easy and i kinda resort to humor or the ridiculous when i am asked a question that i can't really answer on the spot. example ... jet skis would kill me ... and i am not particularilly interested in playing the pipes. the first hour would be great ... but it would start to bug me. now piano! that i love! good answers. keep shooting.

  13. I enjoyed reading your thoughful answers Helen. Thanks for taking the time to post them for us. I am out to walk Salty and then go to town. Yesterday was the anniversary of the huge ice storm that crippled Kentucky just south of me into Illinois. A storm is heading this way with just an inch of snow here, but to the south a mix. It is colder weather along with it so it is not predicted to be an ice storm, but to the south up to a quarter inch of ice possible. Very cold for Saturday and then back to seasonal. I have plenty of firewood ready for the low temps. mark/salty
