Awh...thank you, Sister! I have had some adventures, when I think about it, although I've become quite a hobbit and am likely to stay that way while I still have children depending on me. No hiking through Nepal or space tourism or anything like that.
Four states: Ohio, Massachusetts, Michigan, and Wisconsin.
As for skiing...try everything once, and the fun things twice. Therefore, I've never downhill skied more than once! Well, it was a blast until I tried the Black Diamond slope too soon, and ended up on my bottom, halfway down the hill, shrieking. I think I was missing a ski, too, which went over the cliff to my side, but I may be conflating the sight of someone else's mishap with my own experience. Even without that incident, the week of full-body aches and pains still haunts me.
I haven't gotten less than an A/4.0 since my unexpected B in Mr. Wilson's math class. I was so embarassed that my lack of enthusiasm and application was noticed. Never again.
Speaking of grade school and medieval ladies, I am hoping to put some pages from my gossipy hand-drawn "Tempora Arturia" magazine done for one of Mrs. Soule's classes on my blog soon, including fashion spreads and possibly an interview with Nimue.
Shadow boxes!? Why haven't I seen any of those at Cloud of Secrets. She's a woman of many talents...most of which I have had no clue about.
Oops...I forgot Ohio. I mean, really, we could add England to that. I think of Ohio as my state at this point :)
I just remember everyone coming back from skiing complaining about the rope lift, the "safe" way to get up the mountain!
As soon as I got my first B in college, I thought, well, there goes the Cloud sister tradition. Then I got another one, and that was it.
I forgot about "Tempora Arturia." I can't wait to read what Nimue had to say!
Terri, my sister is divinely creative, as you've discovered. Whereas I tend to be a little brute force with creative projects, she has definitely the delicate touch to all she tries!
