What a surprise to find out that I am featured on Today's Creative Blog! I'm stunned. Oh, the pressure! I'll do my best to be worthy of the recommendation. It's just me. Trying to live up to my potential.

Thanks abundantly, Kim!

Kevin at Encyclopedia Kevinannica has tagged me with a 7 Facts About Me meme. I recently participated, but thought I could probably come up with 7 more.

1. Link to the person that tagged you, and post the rules on your blog.

2. Share 7 facts about yourself.

3. Tag 7 random people at the end of your post, and include links to their blogs.

So, in no particular order...


1. My father built a little log cabin for me and my sisters to use as a play house. We spent a large portion of our summers playing in and around the cabin. Many nights we slept in the loft.


2. I learned how to drive an old tractor at a very young age while my dad bucked hay onto a trailer. As soon as my little sister could drive, I was ‘promoted’ to help dad buck hay. My older sister and I then bucked hay every summer. I was a pro at backing a trailer loaded with hay into the barn.


3. I have never ridden an ATV, hang glider, snow mobile, or camel. I have been on a jet ski, riding lawn mower, and an elephant.


4. The most ridiculous TV show I’ve ever been addicted to: Renegade with Lorenzo Lamas.


5. (Because I have to copy Kevin:) Our boys all have L names with four letters (Levi, Luke, and Leif). Each of them was named after a president or statesman (Jefferson, Monroe, and Benjamin (Franklin)), a family member (Levi, Benjamin, and Monroe), and a person in the Bible (Levi, Luke, and Benjamin). I'll be in trouble if we have any more boys. Or girls, for that matter, but I would have loved to use the name Lucy-Collette Adelaide. Incidentally, I didn't originally intend to name all of my children using the same first initial.


6. When I was 17, my family took a 6-week driving tour of the U.S. in a motorhome. We visited at least 36 states.


7. If I could spend a day with anyone from the 20th century, I would choose C. S. Lewis.
