Notes From The Prairie

I tried to change templates again, and lost everything. I'm under construction! Will fix later:)

Kristie, I wanted to embarrass you by putting on some "childhood" pictures as I did of your sister, Kimberly. Even though you threatened me if I did:) I thought hard, wondering if you would carry out the threats, and decided it would be worth it. Since I'm older than dirt, a little water torture shouldn't kill me . But if it did, I'm old anyway! So to the computer I ran, and realized that Dad had wiped the computer clean, to install Window's XP that you gave him. *sigh*. So all the pictures I had ear marked for your birthday, are gone! You win! hahahaha ! Have a wonderful birthday sweet heart! You are as precious to us now, as you were the day you were born.

At K-Mart and Staples and Penny's and Sears You won't hear the word Christmas; it won't touch your ears. Inclusive, sensitive, Di-ver-si-ty Are words that were used to intimidate me. Now Daschle, Now Darden, Now...

I know I don't tell you enough, but I love you very much! Have a wonderful birthday!!!!!!!!!
