Ten Small Confessions

This idea for today comes from Jeanette at Audience of ONE. She encouraged us to try it. Thanks Jeanette. This was so much fun, I could easily have done ten more. Maybe I'll do some others in a few months. I want to thank God for all the memories it stirred up, good and bad. Now for the confessions. See if any of them surprised you.


1. On my wedding day, I quit smoking - "cold turkey."

2. I got "yelled at" for taking a picture of "The Nightwatch" in a museum in Amsterdam.

3. Once, I broke through the ice and fell in.

4. There was a time when I was great at playing jacks, doing the hula hoop, and jumping on the pogo stick.

5. When I was in the sixth grade, I memorized The Gettysburg Address and I can still say it (with a few fumbles.)

6. When we were kids, my neighbor and I called up a store and told them our dog was coming to pick up a package.

7. I once marched in a parade in N.Y.C. against the Nuclear bomb.

8. I love black licorice and tapioca.

9. My second son's birth weight was 9 lbs., 3 oz. and that was way back in l979. He was a Keeper.

10. I have three handwritings: slanted to the right, straight up and down, and illegible.

There, now you know me better and I had some fun. Love to all of you. Nancy

  1. Oh my gosh! Those are awesome. I love that you quit cold turkey. And wow, LOL, you must have a mischeivous streak in you. :-)

  2. Hi Nancy -

    What a fun list! I did well with the hula hoop, but not the other items. I was more of a jump rope/roller skating/doll kid.

    Blessings,
    Susan :)
