The Family
The family. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together. ~Erma Bombeck

I don't know any other way to contact you. Thanks for the nice comment on my post today at 'Grace an Glory'. I've been having a ball reading your blog this afternoon. Since you're on Blogger and I'm pretty new at this, can you tell me how to put things on my sidebar like the "Genea-blogger" badge etc. Do I have to know html? I've read the directions, but don't know where to stick the html in my template. You can email me at becky.jamison5@gmail.com Thanks Taylorstales!
TAG, you're it!
