I only went downhill skiing once too, and it WAS a blast! I don't think I ever laughed so hard in all my life. I was with my honey, of coarse.

I don't think I will try to think of 51 things about me, nope!

Try again, Beth, that was not me, it was your father. (All of those things sounded pretty good, but if he can make pies, then he's been holding out on me!)
