At least we had a good breakfast. As far as college and beyond - well,you have looked more beautiful with each passing year. I especially love your pictures with Rob,Julia,Marguerite and Christina;Daddy,John,Jay,(aka.the Amish boy)at all the weddings since 1997. I also love my beautiful photos of you in all your gestating grandeur with Older Girl,The Boy, and Baby Girl...my precious angels...love you all...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33252138.post-62748237906940718592007-07-11T20:30:00.000-05:002007-07-11T20:30:00.000-05:00Yeah!

I resisted doing this meme before now just because I didn't want to offend you guys by saying I wouldn't do it again.<BR/><BR/>Maybe I would feel a little differently if I had spent more time with my close friends instead of that good-for-nothing-ex-boyfriend. Such a waste of time. I'll dust off the cobwebs and try to get the meme posted tomorrow.<BR/><BR/>And I second that notion...
