Great 101! I loved reading stuff from your childhood! You are so fun. Way to do the tag!
I loved your list and even knew alot of them (I guess I've been an Allred alot of years!)I had forgotten about the walk home from the post office!! That was fun!
That was so fun to read Nanner! I laughed pretty hard about the one about the post office. You "sisters" can be pretty funny when you get together!
Nanner, I liked reading your list. We have such a fun family, and I love learning all of these things about everyone. You are great.
I remember when you guys walked home! So funny. You came home and all of you were so giggily! Great list mamasita! I so want to go to a movie with you and Aunt Weet! We sure have fun!
Love you!
Vandi that was a great list! I learned a lot about you. I have always remembered that you and Mike made it all the way to Billings to come to our wedding. That was really neat that you guys would do that, with smaller kids too. Laughed so hard about you wetting your pants during a game....so funny!
