I cannot wait to see her and hope she fits on the stamp pad. The pads all seemed to be pretty standard size so I think it will be okay. I know you like red but I thought she looked like a hot pink kind of moose ^..^<BR/><BR/>hugs,<BR/><BR/>PatGabby's Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16187321176717055685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1473958345745616776.post-43102789626861896892008-09-05T23:40:00.000-07:002008-09-05T23:40:00.000-07:00Kelly,I am so glad that you got to spend your last...Kelly,<BR/>I am so glad that you got to spend your last day of summer at Disneyland. You all must have had a blast. I am so happy for you. Going back to school must be sooo exciting. I love your new haircut. ;) Well, I hope the first 2 days of school were great for you and your sisters. I really had fun shopping with you all. We should do it again soon.<BR/>KatieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1473958345745616776.post-72951537423486786822008-09-05T15:30:00.000-07:002008-09-05T15:30:00.000-07:00Hi Kelly!

You are a darling girl and I love your smile! <BR/><BR/>I'm a 3-year Stage IV colon cancer survivor. I also had every-other-week chemo (also CPT-11 and Avastin, plus some other drugs)so we have something in common! <BR/><BR/>I want you to know that I'll be GLUED to my TV set tonight to watch the Stand Up To Cancer show. We need to find a cure for this disease. <BR/><BR/>I hope you have a great school year this year. I'll be checking in on your blog from time to time to see how you're doing.<BR/><BR/>I have a blog, too, if you'd like to take a peek: http://themessonmydesk.blogspot.com<BR/><BR/>Giant hugs to you,<BR/>Renée K in MontanaReneeKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13390457366393927876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1473958345745616776.post-20017365414544484122008-09-05T13:50:00.000-07:002008-09-05T13:50:00.000-07:00Hi Kelly,How's French?

So does a clothespin applied to the nose, but this is definitely uncool.<BR/><BR/>In many ways, French is a funny language. Of all the languages directly derived from Latin, it's probably least like its parent. Believe it or not, it borrowed quite a bit from the Germanic invaders. Le jardin (garden) is a case in point. There's not a trace of the Latin "hortus" in it.<BR/><BR/>Then again, languages, and how they are perceived, are funny. I remember being in the hospital after an operation. The kid in the next bed and I got into an argument. He said he figured French kids were way smarter than American kids. I said: "How do you figure that?" He said: "They have to think what they want to say in English, then translate it into French, say it in French, listen carefully to the answer in French, and translate it back into English in their heads, so they can understand it." I probably started my reply by calling him something not very nice, but I told him French kids didn't do all that extra translating. They just thought in French and spoke in French. It was much simpler that way (for them). He couldn't accept that. I said: "Well, you know that some people in Canada speak French, right?" He did. "And you know that other people in Canada speak English, right?" He knew that, too. I said: "Okay. We've got a Canadian nurse here. Next time she comes in, we'll ask her. Will you accept her answer?" He said he would. She came in later that day. She upheld my position. But sometimes, it's a hard one to come to grips with. Things about their language that strike us as totally odd, are perfectly normal from their point of view, and vice versa, I'm sure.<BR/><BR/>Enjoy your French class!<BR/><BR/>HenryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1473958345745616776.post-49360669985976179672008-09-05T10:31:00.000-07:002008-09-05T10:31:00.000-07:00I just found your blog (from another blog).

Stay strong. <BR/><BR/>By the way, I grew up in Mission Viejo too. Went to Los Alisos Jr. High and Mission Viejo High School. Hope the school year treats you well and that you are on the road to recovery.<BR/><BR/>AshleyAshley Vaersthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15938133337398319130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1473958345745616776.post-66986111887911038252008-09-04T10:34:00.000-07:002008-09-04T10:34:00.000-07:00To most people, it's the first day of school.
