/ September 15, 2012Thank you again for nominating me!
I totally agree with you on the rainy days. And I’ve never tried Calpico – I may have to track some down. 
Joleene Naylor
/ September 16, 2012It’s quite tasty! It has kind of a yogurty flavor going on because it’s made with milk. The Lychee was good, though I haven’t made it to the strawberry or mango yet…
Sharon
/ September 15, 2012Thank you so much Joleene – you are an absolute star!!
I just LOVED your 7 facts and the photo’s that went with them. I don’t think I have ever seen a response that original and interesting before. I especially enjoyed the comment that you have no concept of time – my favourite pastime is being on holiday and not having to worry about what day of the week it is or whether it is morning or afternoon!
Joleene Naylor
/ September 16, 2012You’re very welcome
the sad thing is that in the wintertime when it gets dark early I sometimes wake up at 6 and am not sure if it is morning or night at first, LOL!

/ September 18, 2012Joleene, you are so funny! I loved the pics, and thank you for the nomination. I will get it done. lol 90 DVDs. I’m still laughing. And I thought I was bad about my files.
Joleene Naylor
/ September 22, 2012Yeah, the photos take up like 30 alone :*)
