Thanks for stopping by The Villages and for your comment. I've been to Kansas many times (that's where my father was born and raised) but do not know of the place you mentioned. Of course I haven't been in the state for years! :-); June 30, 2010 at 12:56 PM

Nezzy (Cow Patty Surprise) said...: Here's a very happy birthday Miss Twinkle-Toes!!! What a beautiful young lady she is.

I'm still having health issues and new shingles after over two months. Hubby has ordered me to do nothing more difficult than a dip in the pool 'till I heal up but I just had to check in.

God bless!; July 6, 2010 at 7:55 PM
