Now some of those toy soldiers are probably valuable, but not those dolls, Ugh. when I was a child I looked forward to the toy inside the cereal box or carmel corn, but never ordered anything.

This is so funny, as I won the third grade Smokey the Bar coloring contest and my boyfriend, Billy, was not happy. Apparently, he thought he should have won it. I got a Smokey the Bear t-shirt, a coloring book, and other goodies I can't recall now, but I recall Billy's remarks. Maybe he just liked me and boys tease when they like you. Yeah, that's it, we'll go with that. :)Teresa Evangelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05495114564099989481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1613729047769383491.post-77636275590816292862011-05-31T16:10:13.730-05:002011-05-31T16:10:13.730-05:00First off, feeling better this day?
