    Pettycoat junction!!!

    By admin | Published: April 23, 2014

        What to do…..what to do…   I remember when I was in High School…trying to figure out what I wanted to be….what I wanted to do with my life. First let me say that in my birth family I never remember there being any discussion about whether or not I was going to […]
