100 Things I Love

My sister put me up to this challenge. Something about it being a blog chain that she was going to do and I should do it to. Nobody reads my blog but her friend Kayla, (Hi Kayla! Thanks for stopping by!) and sometimes Michelle does too. Mostly, it's me reading it to her after I call her to tell her I posted. I can't wait for her to read it herself so I read it to her instead. Incidentally, I just checked out her blog and didn't see anything about 100 things she loves. I couldn't get inspiration from her on this one so this is all me. And .... kudos to me for doing this before her! So, in no particular order, 100 things I love......
