When that movie debuted, I took my young grandchildren to see it, and then to lunch where I gave them each a large bell for their Christmas tree. Memorable, I hope for them as much for me. Looking at your pictures, I'm not sure who's the mother and who's the daughter! You're as beautiful outside as in! Thank you for giving me a happy morning!!!Nancy Penir https://www.blogger.com/profile/08160420926612978492noreply@blogger.com
