7 Random Facts

I love facts.  I mean sincerely love them.  One Christmas my sister-in-law gave me The Encyclopedia of Useless Information.  I can't think of 7 interesting facts about myself at the moment, so I will share with you some of my favorite websites to read about interesting stuff.

 Did you know...
About 5% of the entire US potato crop goes to make McDonald's french fries?



Got any interesting facts?

    The only one of the sites I've heard of is #4..never go to MacDonalds, but do remember seeing something on tv about their fries and the potato business.

      Do the kids love the ball pit? It doesn't seem like the happy meal toys are as awesome these days, but I haven't ordered one in a while...

    Love the butterfly barn but i think I'll draw the line at my wine tasting like wine not cola :). I have an Aunt who loves and collects interesting and funny names, she has a book that's some 80 years full of very funny stuff.

      I bet your Aunt's book is awesome and she's collected some funny names in recent years with all of the strange baby-naming going on.
