MY "FIVE THINGS" LISTS

OK. I was tagged by Linda to continue this string of "FIVE THINGS". So to get the gist of what's going on, see her lists at www.lindaswindow.blogspot.com first. Then read mine (or whatever), and finally post your own and send me a link or a comment so I can find it. First five to do so by Feb. 14th (because of this blog) get a small prize (bribe, bribe). Ya have to offer at least five sets of five, and that's not too difficult.
