Hi Leah,
Oh, what fun! I really enjoyed reading your answers. We have things in common – yes, summer, chocolate and tea. Definitely. Hawaii – beyond exciting. I’ve been twice and had some of the most amazing moments of my life. Enjoy!
Happy Birthday!

wow, love the answers! I did a 20-questions thing a while back but not very many people played. I like this even better. When I heard Falling Slowly on web radio I instantly downloaded it and another song from that soundtrack.
Hawaii, how exciting. What is the shark situation there??
Off to look at being brave…
hugs,
