Does anybody even read this every day

I do

Maybe not word for word, but skim...yes and read the interesting bits, and reminders of some great songs cheer

...and some not so great, but are good for strolls down memory lane...

A post from a couple of weeks ago reminded me I need to apologize to my oldest daughter. When I was pregnant with her, my little baby sister was going through her first achy breaky crush and I accompanied her to the concert. giggle
