7 Random Facts of Kindness

Okay, I was just looking for a cute title to a post that I am finding very hard to write. My daughter, Kelsey, issued an invitation to write seven random facts about myself (hence, the title's allusion to Random Acts of Kindness...eh, eh? Clever). I couldn't think of anything. I asked Steve what I should write. With his help, I came up with:

1. I ran the Boston Marathon the year I turned 40.

2. While I have never personally been summoned before the court, I have had the honor and privilege of appearing with my three daughters who are currently of driving age. I am on first name basis with the Bountiful City Prosecutor. I'm counting on my youngest to continue this family tradition.

3. I LOVE to take baths....I think I've only used the shower in our new home the total of 5 times. (and as I am writing this, I just realized that I left the bath faucet running so I have to quickly go check on the levels RIGHT NOW. Just so you know, I will be saying "oh, crap!" as I run up the stairs and praying that it has not overflowed...)

4. I like old people. (definition of old people: anyone at least 20 years older than me)

5. I have to make my bed first thing every morning.

6. I still have my wisdom teeth.

7. I would make a great government employee. I love rules and structure. I do not think outside of the box. I want to clock in at 8 a.m. and clock out at 5 p.m. and waste a little time in between. Is this scary?

Golden

She was a 24 year-old devorcee with three small children when they met for the first time...on a blind date no less. He was a 22 year old farm boy who had dabbled in the arts before and after high school. When a mutual friend set them up, I don't think they had any idea that nine kids and a lot of heart ache and joys later they would be celebrating 50 years together.
"Oh, help!" as my mother, Verlaine, is fond of saying. Happy 50th Mom and Dad!
