That's for another day! I had forgotten about the 4-4-4-4. Thanks for the reminder. Nancy is now gone but I'll give her a hug in my heart for you.<BR/><BR/>Yes, that house used to be the church parsonage and later was purchased by Nancy and Roger when the church built elsewhere. It was HUGE. I wondered if anyone would notice the shoes :)<BR/><BR/>Ruth: Of all the photos I could have chosen, I was very glad to end up with smiles on our faces. I asked Donica if she thought we looked alike (or like sisters) and she said "NO." Maybe only we girls see the similarities and mannerisms that make us look alike. <BR/><BR/>I cannot believe you can remember that outfit from when you were 5-1/2!
