My Seven-Thirteen Life

Oh. And I happened to have my digital camera when I pulled up behind a car at a stoplight that boasted a 713 license plate. I snapped a picture. I won’t post the picture to protect the innocent. I’ll email it to you, tho’. Ssshhhh…

Christmas

December 13, 2007 · 1 Comment

Christmas makes me cheerful.
Happy times are had.
Relatives come from all around.
It’s really fun.
Singing Christmas carols–
Trees are so fun to decorate.
Merry Christmas
And a happy new year!
Santa will come soon!
