(Could be because they truly are simplicity-seekers or because they have 4 or 5 children. ) <br />There's something attractive about this...celebrating half decades instead of going broke trying to out-do other parents...all the while, the kid not comprehending most of the details until a certain age.

She beamed, knowing you remember her caramel cake! <br />SusanSusan Rhymes Harveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08552004682664178897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-740922010248590507.post-74075352834148688262011-03-01T12:38:45.745-06:002011-03-01T12:38:45.745-06:00I used to ride my bike all over the neighborhood. ...I used to ride my bike all over the neighborhood.
