    haha....Kbug...I remember that too.  But, I had to sneak to shave, and then I used a dull blade and cut my legs up!

    Karen, I love that memory!  I never had a Donny Osmond album...but I sure did have a huge CRUSH on him!

    I loved playing hopscotch...and finding the perfect stone to use.
