4 Comments / Family /

I was visiting the Homeschool Chick today and discovered that she had written a post listing 50 little known facts about herself. She invited her readers to write their own lists and link up their posts in the comments.

So, here is my list. Some of it you may know, but I am sure you will learn something new about me today.  I would love it if you would write your own list and leave me a link in the comments.
