Mammy
Sunday, February 22, 2009 - Isn't
this cute? I hope you all can read it.
The default color is PINK, so I'm just
going with the flow on this one.
I really had fun putting the pictures
and cards on here. The OLD (and I do
mean old) photos are so interesting.
It's very cold here - we got about three
and a half inches of snow yesterday.
Plus, below zero wind chills - brutal!
Oh yeah, Happy Birthday to the father
of our country, George Washington. I
think he and Mammy went to school
together (just kidding). haha
Enjoy your celebration. see ya, djb

I like the juxtaposition of the young and the old faces.
