2. I am very tall and very afraid of heights.
3. Grilled cheese and tomato soup should be standard issue on bad days.
4. I make up nicknames for my loved ones.
5. Honest—I wake up with a smile on my face. (I disagreed. But the barrister says it is true. Yes, he did help me think of some of these. . . . 100 is a lot. And once I realized how many, it was too late to back out.)

7. My dog lifts her leg to reveal her ‘stomach’ if you make eye contact with her.
8. I have many mentors and am very blessed for their gifts.

15. I take lessons for the sake of learning new things.
16. I’ve always wanted to be invisible.

Hello from MN. I really enjoyed this post, as I have many others, but particularly this one. I played a little game while I was reading it to see how many I already knew. Somewhere around half! Number 101- Yay for little personal games that can be made up to pass time!

I hope that you are enjoying Paris in the spring. I love the tulips in that large park...I forget the name of it...I think it is by Notre Dame?
Oh, DKB, miss you lots. Big HUGS from me!
