[Nfbf-l] State School

[Sherri]

I totally agree with you Jody. My oldest daughter is a very good shopper, 
because she's been shopping with me since she was 8 or 9. She also doesn't 
mind taking buses. My younger daughter and my son hate taking buses. Though 
my younger daughter rode with us on the bus many times, as soon as a car 
came into our lives, she thought buses were beneath her dignity! Katie on 
the other hand will still ride a bus.

Thank you.

Character is the side of yourself you choose to show the world. Integrity is 
what you do, what you say and how you act when you think no one is paying 
attention.
