Happy Birthday, Debbie! Enjoyed the list and agree totally with #7!
ReplyDeleteWow... that's an interesting list...
ReplyDeletei didn't know you were a nurse.
What sort of nurse were you?
wishing you a fantastic day. must disagree on #11, and urge you to get tested for sleep apnea----the snoring----it can put such stress on your heart. My hubby sleeps with a CPAP and it sounds like the ocean to me. it's a blessing
ReplyDeleteHi there. Just popped over from quick takes. Happy belated birthday! One of my favorite days of the entire year is the first day I can open the windows and let the fresh air in. Unfortunately, here in Indiana, we haven't been able to do that yet.
ReplyDeleteWhile I do like beef, I'm with you on the bacon. Everything tastes better with bacon.
