  22. Me too, I wanna play - I saw Cynthia's response to these five things on my blog-reading list, and thought - huh? Then I came over here to see what's going on. I haven't read any of the other questions, let alone any responses to them. So - I'm gonna go do this on my own blog. I hope you have it somewhere? Quid Nunc is its name - but the URL is marigolds2.blogspot.com Hope I have time to do the rest of whatever this is before we leave on our big trip on Monday.
