I think I was going for kind of a "vintage" vibe on this one!
Journaling reads:
We were never rich growing up. In fact, most of the time our parents were struggling. But we never gave it much thought. As an only child, some of my most memorable, most fun, times were with my cousins. There were seven of us all together; six girls and one very good sport of a boy; my cousin Nathan. How he managed us all, Ill never know but we always had so much fun. That boy could blow a HubbaBubba bubblegum bubble like no one I have ever seen!
