2) I sing tenor and I actually have a very nice voice.
3) I missed being an Eagle Scout by one merit badge.

6) I am a notary public.
7) I am a certified firearms instructor.
8) Unbeknownst to all my guy friends I like making potpourri with different scented oils. It just would not go over well with the fellas.
9) I have seen enough death and suffering such that I don't ever want to see any anymore.
10) I like wearing baseball caps.
11) I volunteer with local sheriff's dept. as a reservist.
12) I always found that sitting around a camp fire, roastig marshmallows, singing corny songs, and drinking hot cocoa, is about the funnest thing on the planet to do!
13) My eyes well up when I watch sad movies like Brians Song or The Heart is a Lonely Hunter. I am at heart a big mush!

21) I have been known to fall asleep at services and have my wife give me an elbow to wake me up!
22) I love putting lightsup for all the holidays and Christmas is the biggie!
23) I grew up poor so everything I have I am truly amazed that I have.
24) I have milked a cow and moved them to water with the aid of a dog. I have planted corn and picked apples. I have watched a calf being born. While sheep are cute they are amonst the dumbest of God's creatures!
25) I really love my wife and family. God is good and merciful and life can be beautiful if you look at in the proper perspective.
Well, that was 25 off the top of the head!

Amber, They say time heals all wounds but you never forget that first great love. It is really bittersweet!
Miclason, if the fellas knew I would be ribbed merciilessly. I also like scented candles! As I type I have two candles burning in the room. The first is McCall's Campfire Marshmallows and the second is McCall's Cabin Scents.
BA thanks about the sympathy for #8 and the understanding on #7.
Tina, thank you for the wonderful compliment!
