Helen Broomell (RIP) lived close to me. She was 65, a grandmother of 10, and had a lifelong ambition to canoe solo some 600 miles down the Yukon in Alaska. She did so twice starting in 1982. She wrote 2 books about her adventures.

Amy Van Ooyen immigrated from Holland with her husband Claude (RIP) and 4 children when she was 29 in 1951. They raised their family in Dearborn, Michigan, then moved to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, near Lake Superior. We go up to visit her every year, listen to her stories, and bring back some of her honey (amongst many things, she's a beekeeper) She has written these books and has gotten several Writer of the UP of Michigan awards.

Three times last week, I took quizzes that I knew had a wrong answer. I had no choice but to click the wrong answer to get a right answer. So I figured I would fix it in my own way by creating a quiz with the right answer LOL. I dont know how to put the url for it on the blog body, and apparently htmls arent allowed. Funtrivia even deleted my blog comments because it had the url for my Art website. It wasnt selling anything, just showing pics of my paintings and art.

Anyhow, its on the homepage today, in my profile, and in Sports. Its called "Cheering the Green Bay Packers". Its been rated Difficult already. I don't know if thats good or bad. I am new at quizmaking and how these things work. I am not going to tell you what that question was that is wrong and prompted me to make this particular one ~ but if you care to take the quiz, let me know what you think. ~Joanie~
