Leah Jones 0:19 Hello, and welcome to finding favorites. It's Monday, July 17. I had such good intentions of getting this to you on Sunday. But I spent the weekend living at the Palmer House Hilton and officiating the wedding of one of my very best friends Dahlia to her now husband, Josh, so I was celebrating and officiating and dancing all weekend. Last summer, I went to a wedding in Ohio, and I was so happy for the couple, but really sad for myself because it's when I was had to use my cane for every step of the day. And I couldn't dance at their wedding. I danced like briefly one song with my friend Brian at that wedding. And it was it was a bummer and this year to be a year later to be able to stand for 30 minutes through the whole ceremony. And then to dance. A number of songs I didn't I couldn't didn't dance the whole night. Can't still safely dance the horror. But to be able to dance to groove is in the heart with my friends and celebrate a wonderful union was really great.

In this episode once again I tell the my sister and I eating mushrooms that weren't I tell the poisonous mushroom story again on this episode. Mom fact check me last time and said that she did indeed call poison control. And that's how she knew to go get syrup of it. Epic hack for us. She does not believe me that it was cinnamon gummy bear. She thinks we're eating goldfish and goldfish crackers. She double fact check me were invented in 1953. But I really remember those red gummy bears going down and coming back up.
