1. What was your favorite childhood toy?
My little ponies. Castle, ponies, grooming kit, little dragon friend. I had it all! (At least I felt like I did)
2. What was your favorite childhood game?
A game called Octopus. You put velcro bands around your head, wrists and ankles. Your partner did the same. A colored cube would determine what got stuck to what. Kinda like twister.
3. What was your first pet?
First and only. My family pet, Patches. A cockapoo. She is still kicking after 15 years. (Barely)
4. Favorite Childhood Cartoon?
The only ones I can think of were the Smurfs and the Snorks (I don't know if that was the name of the show but that was the name of the underwater creatures). I guess they were my favorite.
5. Plans for the coming week?
Let's see. Not much. Still summer vacation. The possibilities are endless!
I haven't been as proactive in responding to these either. So, I'll get back on track.
1. What was your favorite childhood toy?
Anything Star Wars related.
2. What was your favorite childhood game?
Outside, I enjoyed kicking a soccer ball around. Inside, Monopoly. Surprise. Surprise.
3. What was your first pet?
Officially, a brown dog with a white tipped tail, named Tippy. But the dog died when I was two. The first one I remember is the dog mentioned by Mom and Dan. As a third voice about the dog's name, it was called many things and answered to both.
4. Favorite childhood cartoon?
I agree on G.I. Joe, but I have to tie it with Transformers instead.
5. Plans for the coming week?
I am actually fairly busy this week. There is a second party on Monday to celebrate the opening of the Andover branch. Wednesday I am going to a concert with three doors down and nickel back. Saturday I am going to another concert, Alanis and bare naked ladies. And I have to renew my state ID. Talk to you next week.

5. Plans for the coming week?
This past Saturday Matt, Steven and I went into Yankee Stadium for the old timers game. We had a great time. We saw some of the Old old timers (Don Larsen, Phil Rizzuto, Yogi Berra, Clete Boyer, Whitey Ford, Bill Skowron, Joe Pepitone, Tom Tresh and more) and some of the not so old timers (Graig Nettles, Mickey Rivers, Roy White, Ron Guidry, Willie Randoph, Reggie Jackson, Cliff Johnson, Brian Doyle, Rich Gossage) and many more. The Yankees added another plaque to mounument park, posthumously honoring Yankee pitcher Red Ruffing and the widow of Yankee catcher Thurman Munson threw out the first pitch. The Yanks came from behind to win the game against Tampa Bay. Sunday Matt had an All Star baseball game which they won. After the game my Dad, Matt and I baled up approximately 400 bales of grass hay. No more hay cutting this week, too much rain. Monday South Jersey got 13 inches of rain in 12 hours! so I'll be hanging wallpaper in Blairstown the rest of this week.
