NAME DRAWING IN 1964

I remember when I was in the fourth grade, I got a necklace with the ten commandments on it.  If I remember correctly Jeffery got some toy playware.

Joe came in one day and we asked him what did Rita and Darrel got.  Joe said, "She got something that was worth a dollar and traded it for something that was worth only 29 cents."

Mother said, "Gee, oh, Joe!"

We asked him, "What did she get?"

Joe said, "She said she got a bubble gum machine and traded it for some paints. Darrel kept his, he got a coloring book and some crayons."

I said, "When I was in the first grade, that was what I got."

Mother told Joe she didn't know what to think about him letting her do that.  Joe said, "Ah, I just let them do whatever it is they want to."

    HAPPY 52TH BIRTHDAY JEFFERY

    Did you know you are just five days younger then Bo Derek. Bo Derek remains me of you. I wonder what it is she has that looks like you.

    We had our Christmas on Bo's birthday this year. I heard everybody else is going to have Christmas on both birthdays.

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEFFERY

    I barley remember some of this, but the one memory I do have of Christmas as a child, was the year Sherry got a doll with a bonnet on and when she took the bonnet off, her doll did not have any hair. She pitched a fit and Mom tried to get me to give her my doll. If she hadn't made such a fuss about the hair I probably wouldn't have cared. But I would not let her have my doll. Come to think of it I don't know why we all went so crazy, a week later both dolls had permanet marker under there noses and on their chins. Wonder who could have done such a thing. Who ever it was, drew the hair in the wrong place for Sherry's doll.

    Thanks for the compiment Sherry. I have no idea why you think I look like her. I was looking at the pictures Shawn and Jennifer sent of the wedding and you are beautiful. You are a very pretty woman. Merry Christmas Sherry, and I hope you have a great New Year.
