tagged

I got tagged by Mindi, I am not sure exactly what that means, but I figure I am supposed to fill out this silly list :) Thanks, Minda for the chance.....I still think I could run faster than you and you wouldn't be able to tag me, but I will play along with your virtual fantasy....

1. Best thing you cooked this last week.
I haven't cooked since I made "breakfast for dinner"---eggs, mickey mouse pancakes, and bacon; the best thing that I have eaten that was made by my beautiful, excellent cook of a wife was Ina's biscuits and chicken

2. If money, time, and babysitting were no object where would you go?
Paris...with my beautiful, excellent cook of a wife :)

3. When was the last time you cried?
I don't cry....just kidding...probably in church after the primary program; kristine did an amazing job teaching her primary kids those songs and it paid off with a beautiful program, when James got up and said his perfectly memorized part and scripture, I shed a few tears; nothing like the simple faith of a child to increase your testimony of the gospel
