COOL! The liver thing...same here! Blah! :) I don't know if my email shows up on my profile, so if not--here it is---melissabethhaskell at yahoo dot com. Loved the license plate thing too by the way--it made me laugh so hard!
Thank you so much for your kind words. I really do miss you. I wish we could have gotten to know each other more. I love this post!!! You are so creative. Blessings!
Sumbled across your blog, and now I gotta know... what was the "liver incident"? Maybe the subject of a future blog?
Ok are you coming back for scrapink?? And I also HATE liver!! That is truly nasty!!
OK, Kari you just have to tell Jon about Brad's incident. We can laugh about it now, but it was surely a mess at the time. I never told anyone this, but I am glad that particular incident occured! No more liver!
Nice to know these neat things about you and your family. Congrats on your 5K!
I think I better win the prize...after all I was born in Virginia!!! I am MISSING YOU SOOO much! You need to call me soon!!!!!
I love all the info...It's hard to come up with that many things to say about yourself. I am glad that you are such a dedicated blogger. I really like hearing all about your life & Virginia.
Okay now I am not part of the norm...I like Liver!!! As long as it is smothered in carmelized onions and and inch thick coating of mashed potatos!
Congrats on hitting 5000!!! and your time in VA!
