  1. I'm inspired to make a lits too! I was never as good at lists as you are though. Maybe I will still give it a try.

    Number 87 makes me happy! I'll do what I can to make sure this happens for you. Do you think you could get Jonathan to go along with you?

  2. Does Amish Friendship bread count or do you mean like healthy bread?

    I also know of some beautiful falls if you need suggestions.

  3. @Miranda: Oooh, I would love your help with making #87 happen. And I definitely think Jonathan would come along too.

    @FadingExistence: Amish Friendship bread might count, I've never made that before. But I would like to start making some healthy bread to replace our store-bought bread. And I would love to hear of your suggestions for beautiful falls to hike to. :)
