Maria (my much loved second olderst sister, or second youngest, one of the two),
I just wanted to say that you have some really great stuff on here! I'm sad that I haven't checked it out more often!
I'm not often a very good blog checker, if ya haven't noticed...
But, I agree with most all the things you have on here, and I especially liked your favorite sounds, because I was remembering the actual sound of each one of them, which was very cool. :-)
I also like your music on here.
And I really liked your posts w/the 'I hope you dance' lyrics to some pictures - it pretty much made me tear up! :)
Well, that's all for now!

Love,
-Al...

Hey Charito- yeah, I am still waiting for that coment more later.

Eleni- I was really confused who leni was when I first read the post. I figured it out before the Eleni part of your coment though. I am glad that you like the post. I love squeaky swings, because it espescially reminds me of my cousins and the squeaky swing they had.
Allen - I did notive, but thats ok, I don't do it too much either. I am glad you liked the other post too. It was really fun to make.

Ellen- thanks for your comment.
