A little bloggin' game...thanks Stac!

My sweet friend Staci "tagged" me. Go see see her CUTIE family! She is wonderful and so....I am playing along! Love you Staci and really miss you too! Give my buddy Jude a kiss for me. He and Matthew were separated at birth I think!! HA! Don't you just love our passionate boys?!?!

So, here it is...

OK, on to the game. Here are the rules:
1. The rules of the game get posted at the beginning.
2. Each player answers the questions about themselves.
3. At the end of the post, the player then tags five people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know they’ve been tagged and asking them to read the player’s blog.
4. Let the person who tagged you know when you’ve posted your answer.

Yay. I like reading your answers. The link thing is easy. On your draft version, once you type in the word, like a name, then you highlight it and click that little symbol at the top next to the font colors. It's like a little green ball w/something on top. It will pull up a box for you to type the website address in. Try it and let me know if you have problems. Once you do it, you'll get addicted and try to link everything!
