What were the first things you thought of when you saw your sweetie for the first time?: "Now we're talking!!"

Places I've been for vacation: California, Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, Utah, and our trip to Philly, N. Y., and D. C.. I must include our most memorable "vacation," although it was more of an educational experience, and that was our trip to Italy, Egypt, Jordan, and Israel. We have also been to Church History sites in New York, Ohio, Illinois, Missouri, Nebraska, and Wyoming with Church Education; And who can forget our family trips from Wisconsin to Utah and Wyoming and back again, every year for a dozen years. Now that was some fun. I have a special fondness for the California coast, Yellowstone, Utah's Red Rock country, and the family cabin in Star Valley, not to mention floating the Salt River.

Favorite Foods: Oriental, Mexican, Italian, Seafood and Steak.

If in a jam with your spouse, what tactics do you use to get out of the doghouse? Be the first to apologize. And believe me, I am usually wrong . . . o.k, o.k, you believe me.

Websites I visit regularly: The Church and B.Y.U. sites for information on Mormon emigrants, newspaper sites, Yahoo for books and cars, Ranger boats which I cannot afford, real estate sites, L.L. Bean and Land's End. And of course, recently, your blogs. Pretty good stuff, and you are pretty fine writers and thinkers. Who knew?

Best first kiss landmarks: Read Barbara's blog. It's all true.

Places I'd rather be right now: I'd like to visit England, return to Italy, and take all of you to the Holy Land and Egypt. But right now, I just like being home. I do love home.

Who Sent This to Me: Barbara Ann Price, the sweetest thing I know of.
