If only I had written our "table talk" I would have remembered the laughter, the tears, and those OMG's the dinner dad gave the three of us those awesome $500 bills. Do you know how difficult it is to try to deposit a $500 bill? <br />smeholick48@hotmail.com Sandy/OhioAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6005324767450032096.post-64025919469698806012011-11-28T10:15:36.509-05:002011-11-28T10:15:36.509-05:00Thank you for your inspirations!
