Sweet Nettie! It was fun to learn all this great stuff about you! What an amazing woman - but I already knew that :)
that was fun to read, thanks!
that was really cute. I like that tag. In fact, I think I'm going to copy you and put it on my blog. Maybe I'll even steal some of your answers. I'll just change the word Ben to John. Well, because if i didn't that would just be strange.
Nettie - you're awesome! Days of Our Lives used to by my favorite sneak tv show, too. Now when I'm flipping channels and see it, I'm amused that it's still the same characters and same storylines. Ahhhh... soap operas...
Oh my gosh, I used to love Days of ur lives as a kid. And you know what? I was flipping channels, it was on soap net and it is still the same sad storyline from back in the day. How is that show still on. Still, sometimes things are so bad they are good!
I love your answers! It is always fun to see how many shared memories we have. I will let Jessica be your first best friend but I came soon after:) Love you!
