J- Jeopardy! There are few programs that my DH and I enjoy watching together, but every evening at 7:30, we have a date to watch Jeopardy, no exceptions! I really look forward to it, it's just fun and every once in a while, I even end up feel smart, lol!
O- Old Photos. I have always been interested in looking at very old photos, not only of my family, but anything from another time or place...like the old west, footage of old disasters (is that wierd?), clothing, furniture and lifestyles from the past. I used to visit my Grandma's house and pull out all of her and my Grandfather's yearbooks (or Annuals, as she calls them) from the 40's and early 50's. I spent hours and hours looking over the faces and activities. It was so interesting to me and it's most likely how I naturally became involved in scrapbooking and, later stamping!
