There was probably over 100 people that would show up and each one of us would say it to each other. My grandmother was born in 1916 I believe and our family originated from the Tennessee and Missouri areas.

I passed it along to my children and hopefully it will be passed to theirs.

She sang, danced and signed the entire alphabet. Bless our hearts. Then today her cousin Kaley, went to get those horrible school shots. Emily knew this and made sure to let Aunt Christy know that she wanted to be with Kaley today. However, Emily had school. Bless buy both of these grand girls.. Cant wait to watch Emily tonight play her T ball game.. Kaley has her dancing recital later in June.. Another special time with such caring and talented young girls.
