Some of my co-workers will at times say to me during a conversation,what in the world did you just say? And before i can speak with proper English which will include properly pronounced words including the required syllables, another co-worker will interrupt say this is what he said.

He was to be cared for by a Mr. Bristow, who had a business at Freeport. The child grew to be a man and married a local girl (who was a Miss Fletcher). My family grew out of this union. There are still Bristow's in that very area of Gloucester, as well as Strigle's.growing wild on waverly lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15222930522676348641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240067140694289750.post-67127752536787876402012-05-30T06:16:59.752-04:002012-05-30T06:16:59.752-04:00You live in the most picturesque area!
