This is Gina, daughter of Richard and Marquita, niece to Renee, Rhonda and Rebbie. I can't believe that she is now taller than me!!! The first time she spent the night at my house, she was just two years old! She is now 17 and that makes me feel soooooo old! When she was small, she and I used to have the very best time when I'd babysit her. She loved to paint and cook, so we would paint T-shirts and make cookies. Matthew if you are reading this, how old does it make you feel! It seems only yesterday that you and I took Gina to Lexington to see the movie "Lion King" and you carried her on your shoulders! Gina could sing like a little canary so on the way home we were so impressed that she had remembered the words and could carry the tune to the songs in the movie. She was barely 3 at the time. Another Gina story that I love was from that same day (I think) while we were sitting at a traffic light waiting for it to change. Matthew ask Gina "what does a red light mean?" Gina quickly replied; "Stop!" Matthew bragged on her, then ask; "what does a green light mean?" Even quicker Gina shouted "GO!" Matthew really got excited that Gina so young knew the correct answers.....so he then asked; "Ok Gina, what does a yellow light mean?" Gina paused for a moment or two, and appeared to be thinking really hard...suddenly her little face lit up as if to say ah ha, I do know the answer...she leaned over toward Matthew and confidently replied;
"It's not red, it's not green!" *Note to Gina...Well sweetie, now that you are driving, I hope you have learned the value of that yellow light! I wanted to share this story just to brag on you, and maybe you can give your Aunt Rebbie a few lessons. That woman can't drive worth a crap!

I can't believe it either! She would come stay all night with me and help me entertain Lucas! She was such a good playmate and her and Lucas did spend a lot of time together when they were small; however, they grew up and got those old boyfriends and girlfriends and now I am thankful that we get to share such times as Thanksgiviing meals with them!
P.S.
I am go ing to ask Gina to give me a refresher course on my driving as I have a very important friend to pick up this weekend and I have noticed that she turns terribly pale when I am approaching a light! Rebbie! Maybe we could get the other granny to go with us. Of course she would drive and meet us there. I have always wondered why Renee always wanted to meet me wherever we were going and stayed so darn pale when she was in the car with me! Rebbie
