100! That's a lot of chatting!

100- Wow! I can't believe we have had a hundred chats. I want to thank everyone who visits, but I really want to thank those who have hung in there with me and visited Chats over the last hundred weeks. Thanks! It's been challenging to think up questions each week. It's been challenging to keep the big horse from taking over the whole project. He loves your company! I have enjoyed visiting each one of you. With the exception of one week, and missing a couple of later comers, I have dropped in on everyone and commented. I love the feeling of community. Funny to think of how far away we live, yet we have built a community. Well, it's time to get to the porch for today's chat. Happy 100th to all our friends! Happy 100th! Let's have a carrot juice and celebrate. Wait! You're driving those computers. I'll drink the carrot juice. I'll be the designated carrot guy! :) You're welcome~
QUESTIONS

What's the best advice anyone ever gave you?
Do you have houseplants?
Do mosquitoes bother you or leave you alone?
What's your favorite charity? If you have one.
Do you like mint? Which variety is your favorite?

My answers (Mine too!)-

Life's short. Eat dessert first. Carrot cake anyone?
One and it's been warning others not to come here. I like them, but they don't get to be a priority in our house, so they don't always fair well. I like to eat plants!
My hubby says that he likes to stand next to me when outdoors. It keeps them away from everyone else. I am a magnet! I wish I wasn't, but I am. They don't like me, but the horse flies do.
My favorite charities are those that help animals. A big horse named Wendell. :)
I like mint if it's real. I think I like Wintergreen best. What in the world is that? I've never heard of a Wintergreen plant. I also like Peppermint. I only like Spearmint if it is the real leaves in iced tea.

Have a wonderful week!

Happy 100th!

Congratulations on 100 chats! I didn't find you until somewhere in the late 70s, but I've enjoyed all the ones I've participated in.

Happy 100th Chat-aversary! Your chats are a highlight of my week. I can be down, I can be blue, but when Tuesday rolls around, I find myself looking forward to the chats to pick me up.

Have a great 4th tomorrow ...

Congrats on 100 chats!! I agree with the eat dessert first!!! I think now that my girls are getting older --I should be able to add a few more houseplants back into our house. I'm good at forgetting to water. I never thought about what the mint was we grow and use in our tea.
