I got tagged with this several months ago by two friends- Libby and Jessica. I'm not going to tag anyone else, but I thought I could share the requested five little known facts.

Pretty sure that these things won't be new to everyone reading this, but perhaps most of you...

1. I spent at least part of every summer of my childhood in Colorado. My grandparents had a fishing cabin there with no tv, no telephone, no radio, but an amazing outdoor adventure just beyond the front door. The first summer I didn't go was in 1994 when I was...

2. In Ukraine. I have now traveled there four times, and there are few places in the world I can imagine enjoying more. My adopted family there is very near and dear to me. And the only regret I have about our wedding is that they were not able to be apart. One summer when I wasn't in Ukraine, ...

Ice cream flavor - Peanut Butter Cup
Social event - going dancing (Hasn't happened in the NW but we used to have tons of fun in college. I'm guessing it won't make the list in Bangladesh either...)

Now, I'm absolved.
