Missed 4 unless the answer for #8 is wrong. If not I would like to hear Melissa's sermon can I get a link.

Not very high marks on my end.

Thanks for posting Mike

Maura said...

I did pretty well, but I would like to dispute the answer for #5 unless I have been getting Junita/Brooke's name wrong all these years.
Also, there is certainly an argument that a sociology major is directly related to being a stay at home mom. (Although I did get that one correct).

Ed and Maura, Thanks for catching the mistakes. You are right the answer to #6 should have been (d)Junita and #8 should have been (a) Ed. So give yourselves a couple extra points. Not sure how I messed up the answers but they are corrected now.

Maya Northen Augelli said...

100%! Thought I missed one but it was the sermon correction. I really wish I worked for corn hole fanatics.

Maya Northen Augelli said...

Also, which relative is standing on the back of a horse?

EMMLP said...

Maya, the relative on the back of the horse is William Ryman, my mother's maternal grandfather - your great, great grandfather.
