A good old-fashioned nap |

we live. When I see this word all I can think to do is add "Anna" to the front of it |
Mary's mesmerizing skirt |
The first night we were in Frostburg, we went with
Kim's mom to watch her cousin play baseball |
This picture was taken at 8:30 because I got us lost at Swallow Falls walking along
boulders and rapids for about 3 hours. It was a harrowing adventure and a narrow escape. |
At Mr Lisa's 50th birthday party I saw Patsy. We met in 1994 and

Assessing |
Mary SAMETIME'd me as we were driving |
Todd and I rocked the Capitol Hill garden club! |

Talkin' to mama! |
