Four places I have been on vacation:
I haven’t been on vacation in so long, it’s depressing. The last proper one was in 1988 or 1989, but at least I’m conserving fossil fuels.

3. Oregon
4. Sedona and Phoenix, Arizona

Four favorite dishes:

Four websites I visit daily:
1. Mystery of a Shrinking Violet (well—you know—I have to)
2. Blogs in my blog list—check them out!
3. Google Search

Four places I would rather be right now:
1. Redwoods

    Drain, Oregon? What did you do there?

  4. Violetismycolor asks what I did in Drain, Oregon. I pretty much played and had fun. I lived there between the ages of 2-1/2 and 5 years, so I don’t even remember much about it. I know the place better from visits when I was older. My parents did lots of things there. My grandmother owned a cafe, called the Curtain Cafe, where my mom helped out. My dad did a little of everything from working at a gas station, to driving trucks, to delivering supplies to college students who lived in fire lookout towers, and fighting fires himself.
