SPECIAL TALENTS
    As I reflect on some of my special talents, I remember having an unusual memory for birthdays. I remembered the birthdays of all the kids my age and know all my siblings birthdays for as long as I can remember, probably age nine or ten at least. I was always envious of the older kids in my grade in school. Most of the kids had already had their birthdays before mine in May.
    Ever since I was four or five I could whistle in various ways, my favorite way is whistling through my teeth. I can also whistle blowing air into my thumbs; also blowing air through my lips. I have many fond memories whistling any song I heard.
    I grew up in a singing family, I love to sing and feel very blessed to to be able to sing everywhere I go. I have been asked to sing in large groups, singing in a few quartets and have sung in several school choirs. Singing solos in church and for funerals is a great honor for me. Singing Christmas songs is a favorite memory.
    When my older sisters were 13 and 14 they were given a unicycle for Christmas. I enjoyed their gift more then they did. After I wore their unicycle out I was in High School I decided to buy my own to ride. I got pretty good I was going off jumps; going backwards; and down 4-5 stairs at a time. One year I got juggling balls to do with my unicycle. I was okay at juggling but never great.
    Finally I would say I am a pretty good cook and love making breakfast or any kind of pie for others to enjoy. I think Cassie and myself make a really great team in the kitchen. My favorite time to cook is when someone says “there is nothing to eat” or “ there are no ingredients to make anything for dinner” I can make dinner impossible, possible.
