At this point she has delivered two and more to come. The not-so-proud father is a neighbor's Chihuahua and it is not the Taco... Sign in to see full entry.

How Can This Be?

Chrysler dropped a bomb shell on auto dealers yesterday as they announced the closing of 789 dealerships. I could hardly believe my ears as some of our local dealers spoke of the closures. I can't make sense of it but it is being done under the guise of better profits for the survivors. The... Sign in to see full entry.

She is a beautiful red-haired, freckle face girl and she is a pretty good baseball player. She really beamed when she saw that Nana &... Sign in to see full entry.
