Great survey. What were you thinking, with those pregnancies???? Must be a story behind them. I wish that you get your wish SOON about your youngest son. Stealing survey now!

I bet you can’t wait to go down South. What an interesting story it must be how you went from art teacher to seventh grade teacher. What did you teach? I like your answers. My mom has shrunk too, but she started out at five foot, ten inches. I am only five nine. I think we look almost eye to eye. Mom is 72 years old. How old is your youngest son? That could happen to me Peec will be twenty

April 1. I am not planing another child, but the best laid plans of mice and men. In a way it would be funny to have another and in another way it really wouldn’t. I enjoy reading you. I hope you get to do every thing and go every where. Blessings.
