Well, hello!

It has been suggested, by my friend Susie, among others, that I quit hiding behind my dog, which is a bit of a trick anyway, given her petite frame, and try writing a few posts all by myself like a big girl.
We'll see how it goes.
Since we have devoted Mondays to discussing those darn 101 things about me lists I thought I would throw mine out there and see what you had to say.
Be gentle.
