So maybe I can still come to Dollywood with within the month. SEE you Then Good bye!
LOVE, Melissa LOVE You!"
Hmmm. Where to begin? Can you tell I did not enjoy having any attention directed away from me, even on my little sister's birthday? We have an old picture of my sister in her high chair, with me holding her gifts and pouting. I'd be willing to bet there was not a "list" of presents as big as the fence. I'm seruios. I was just a wee bit dramatic.
My JOB was to let my neighbor's dog play outside and clean up and feed him while they were away. I was so prissy that I had my sister lift the dog, Baron, out over his gate because I could feel his ribs and it freaked me out. I've always been a bit peculiar.
What a neat gift to stumble upon. Don't forget to call (or write) your Mama, as Lewis Grizzard would say. I wish I could call mine.

Yes, somehow I miraculously survived :) I figured you would enjoy some of your earlier unpublished works. You'll have to have Jeremiah hold up some of Sarah's gifts when he is in a grumpy mood to keep the tradition alive.
