Although I'm older, born in 19mulbledymumbledy, we shared a lot of the samethings. My mom started work when my dad's eyesight began to fail, so that ended our Cleaver lifestyle, but I sill had a great life growing up and a greater one now.Best of continued succes!Caroline Clemmonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14914658854159456335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-7277749837476514642011-08-28T13:02:56.251-05:002011-08-28T13:02:56.251-05:00You were a wild one, Cheryl!

I think as we get older we get 'better sense' than to do some of the things we did as a youngster. My daughter is like me--she had no fear of heights and was a 'climber' from the time she could walk. I always had to watch her.LOL<br /><br />So good to hear from you, Kathleen!
