Oh Marci...I'm so glad you did that!What is a home fellowship? Like a home Bible study? I've got to look up the childhood illness. I couldn't find it in my Tabers...interesting ..u know from a nurse view, lol. I would love to hear you play the fiddle so when you get that Truck (that I would love to ride in!) come visit me & I'll let you sleep in my king-size sleigh bed! Oh & you'll have to let me see you spin!! I pray out-loud too..I think people think I'm crazy cuz I do it while driving a lot! So glad you posted these!

Marci, Your "100 things" post was so nice to read. I share several of them with you - born in December, married in April, I took violin lessons, I have a mountain dulcimer that I'm trying to learn (also a hammered dulcimer), and a few more. Thank you for posting this delightful entry!
