  3. Congrats on the award! You deserve it. Thanks for sharing something about yourself with us! I like getting to know people better in blogland. I am a sentimental hoarder too. Recently I decided that when I die my kids will just pitch it all because they aren't into sentimental at all (both grown men, now). I'm off to look up Maori language..................
