Ferrari Mailing List: Re: 08140 is in da HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!

[jim (jimshadow]

We are indeed!   The little one in the middle back seat (her sister is to
her left and not visible in the pic) is mine.  The one to her right against
the window and the one in the front seat are two of 11 girls in our
cul-de-sac.  It's a TON of fun walking them to school.  11 girls and 2 boys
in our neighborhood, guess where all the high school boys will be hanging
out in a few years?   Time to start a gun thread I suppose!  :)  (just
kidding!)

Hard to decide which I like better -- the picture of the car from the rear 
(just right), or the one of those adorable happy smiling kids.  You're 
blessed!

Enjoy it all,
Larry
