The Adventure List

Emily at Keeping Time has called for participants in her Adventure List project, and I'm trying to organize my thoughts enough to share!  For now, here's my list; I'll add to it when I remember something adventure-worthy, and THEN...

I'll take a peek here each Monday (or, as many Mondays as possible) to see what story I want to tell you guys.  You should join in, too!  Make a list of your adventures (big or small -- they don't have to qualify for their own reality tv show to be considered an adventure in your life!) and let Emily know that you'd like to participate.  She'll link to your blog and we'll all get to read each other's adventures. 

Now, come on -- let's get crackin!
