Canned meatloaf? (My Aunt used to do that every year, and it was SO tasty!)

Never heard of canned meatloaf. How do you make it? :think:

Stayed up late to watch a meteor shower?

It's been years since I helped with it....but from what I remember, you make up the meatloaf mixture, put it (raw) into hot canning jars, wipe the rims clean, seal them up and then process them in a pressure cooker for a little over an hour. It's so tasty!

Yep, I've stayed up late for a meteor shower!

Driven over a huge bridge, like Mackinac or Golden Gate?

Yes. Mackinac. SO beautiful! For some reason, though, it's scarier for me going north than it is when I'm headed south on the bridge. I have no idea why, but it is.

Skated on a frozen pond/lake?

Skated on a frozen pond/lake?

Um, you're not going to believe this, but it is for me too! Hmm, strange. And you know how the highway kind of 'pops you out' directly in front of the bridge? Well, I'd planned on Bill taking my place driving it when we went, but I was basically 'on it' once we exited!! Too late! He video-taped my entire reaction...me, freaking out, venturing onto this huge bridge, and then about 1/3 of the way up, I said, "Oh, this is actually very pretty!" LOL!!

Ok, sorry for babbling...


YES, I have skated on a frozen pond---fun, but I'm pretty bad at it!


Been cross-country or downhill skiing?

I know what you mean. It's cool how you catch glimpses of the bridge here and there through the trees, and then all of a sudden, you're on it!

This video isn't recommended for anyone with a fear of heights. It shows workers on the cables a few hundred feet above the bridge. It's funny how the bridge itself looks like it's setting right in the water, but it's actually, what... about 200 feet above the straits?



Yup, been both downhill and cross-country skiing.

Tied notes to helium balloons and let them go?

Yes.


Driven with the windows up on a hot summer day so everyone would think you had air conditioning (I was 17)?

WOW Rob---I'm with the woman talking on the video---there's no way I would do that either!! And that is WILD---it really does look like it's sitting in the water!!

LOL Alice, nope---I haven't driven with the windows up on a hot day! Too funny!



Gone parasailing?

No, but I'd love to! (I'd have to wait 'til Caleby is older, though. I mentioned it in front of him a while back, and he gasped and said "OH!! PLEASE promise me you won't never do that!!" )

Taken a computer operations class?
