Happily married 5 years with the most awesome three year old boy.

None yet but would love to meet everyone! I very much enjoy meeting new people and making friends!

New people, new friends, more knowledge and sharing. Doesn't get much better!

Anything that grows easily without much attention and keeps coming back!

WHAT IS ONE ITEM YOU CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT!?.......

Item? Inanitmate object? Books. It was a toss up- books~internet.

ONE THING YOU WOULD OWN IF MONEY WAS NO OBJECT?.....

Tons of land. Just tons... maybe even in different places around the world. How cool would that be?!

IF YOU COULD GO ANY WHERE IN THE WORLD WHERE WOULD IT BE?...

As long as I was with Jon and Harry, I don't care. I'd follow them ANYWHERE! Although I'd always wanted to take a trip around the Aegean.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE RECIPE...

Now this simply cannot be pinned down. My great grandma's potato salad is close to the top though. It has kind of a vinegary custard dressing.

IF YOU WERE A COOKIE, WHAT KIND WOULD YOU BE...

Any kind of X-Mas cookie! Oooh- Wait! Mexican wedding cookie!

WHOS YOUR FAVORITE SPORTS TEAM AND ATHLETE...?.....

Oh come now! The Wisconsin Badgers football team of course! Athlete....? KGB baby!

WHAT ARE SOME HOBBIES YOU HAVE?....

Some?!?! Hmmm, well, I think I need to tweak this one a bit and share some hobbies AND some obsessions.
Hobbies- reading, learning and we're movie buffs.
Obsessions- natural birth(I even trained as a doula), sustainable homesteading, food!

WHAT ATTRACTED YOU AND KEPT YOU INTERESTED IN OPPCLP..?....

Phil. He found me and invited me over- been hooked ever since! Such nice folks here

YOUR TURN ON FOODS......TURN OFF FOODS....?

On~ dark chocolate, dark beer, goat cheese, sun dried tomatoes, Middle Eastern and bacon.
Off~ Not a whole lot.

FAVORITE COLOR................

Just about every color of the rainbow, especially earthy ones. NOT PINK.

HOW DID YOU COME UP WITH YOUR SCREEN NAME?.....

I thought it was appropriate with my location and how I feel about it. But, I'm considering changing it. I'm not as happy with it as I once was.

Well congrats to you on joining the crowd of inductees. Nice to hear more about you and glad you like this phorum. I went to the back to basics site some and there are some interesting subjects there. I'm with you on the mexican wedding cookies. I like some of those cookies and pastries, don't seem to be overly sweet but its been a long time since I've had any. I should look for some recipes on the net. Anyway keep hanging and sharing the knowledge. Have a nice day.

[rivervalleymama]

Good for you gardenhappy!
I wasn't able to have a homebirth simply because I chose to work with midwives out of a free standing birth center that required first babies to be born there. I did have a wonderful, waterbirth free of any drugs though! 7 hour labor (28 minutes pushing), 9 lb 2 oz, 22 in happy and healthy!
